What this enclosure does

The YINGHUA 2521C3 turns a 2.5 inch SATA drive into an external USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C device. It accepts drives from seven to 9.5 millimetres thick and supports up to four terabytes of capacity. The JMS576 controller enables UASP for efficient data transfers at five gigabits per second. A smart sleep function powers the drive down when idle.

Check your drive and cable needs

Verify that your drive uses a SATA interface and fits the seven to 9.5 millimetre height range. The enclosure includes a point five metre cable with Type-C connectors on both ends; ensure your host port is USB Type-C or plan for a Type-C to Type-A adapter. No external power supply is required because the unit draws power from the USB bus.

Build and daily use

The black ABS shell measures 128 by 80 by 15 millimetres and slides open without tools for quick drive swaps. The Type-C connector is reversible, so orientation never matters when plugging in. Smart sleep reduces wear and noise during periods of inactivity. The package contains the enclosure and the USB cable only.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need to buy a drive separately?

The box contains the enclosure and a .5 m USB C cable. You must supply your own 2.5 inch SATA HDD or SSD up to 4TB.

Which drive thickness should I choose for this enclosure?

It accepts 7 mm and 9.5 mm high 2.5 inch SATA drives, so pick any standard laptop HDD or SSD within that range.

What does the 5Gbps rating mean when I copy files to a SATA SSD inside?

The USB 3.1 Gen 1 link runs at 5Gbps, so real-world throughput will be limited by that ceiling and the drive's own SATA speed.
