YINGHUA 2.5" SATA USB 2.0 Enclosure

The YINGHUA 2.5" SATA USB 2.0 enclosure turns a notebook drive into a portable external disk. It accepts 2.5 inch SATA mechanical hard drives and solid-state drives up to 120 x 75 x 13 mm. The ABS case opens without tools and weighs 43 g. A USB cable and small screwdriver are included in the box.

Suits users adding laptop drives to older PCs

This enclosure suits users who want to access 2.5 inch SATA drives on legacy Windows or Mac OS systems via USB 2.0. It supports hot swap so the drive can be changed without a reboot. Buyers needing USB 3.0 or faster 480 Mbps throughput should look elsewhere. The mini-B connector also means a specific cable is required.

USB 2.0 480 Mbps interface decides fit

The single specification that decides compatibility is the USB 2.0 interface limited to 480 Mbps. Only drives with a native SATA connector will work inside the 120 mm long bay. Systems must provide a powered USB port or the included cable for operation. No driver installation is needed for the listed operating systems.

Questions about this item

Does the enclosure include everything needed to connect a 2.5 inch SATA drive to a PC, or must I buy a cable separately?

The package contains the hard disk case, a USB cable, a screwdriver and a components package, so no extra cable is required for the USB 2.0 connection.

Should I choose a 2.5 inch SATA mechanical drive or a 2.5 inch SATA SSD for this enclosure?

Both 2.5 inch SATA mechanical hard drives and 2.5 inch SATA solid state drives are supported; pick the capacity and drive type that suits your storage needs.

What real-world transfer rate can I expect from the 480 Mbps USB 2.0 interface when a SATA drive is installed?

The USB 2.0 interface is rated at 480 Mbps, which sets the maximum data rate between the enclosure and the host computer.
