  • Aluminium-alloy shell dissipates heat from 3.5 inch SATA drives
  • USB 3.0 interface enables theoretical 5 Gbps transfer speeds

3.5 inch SATA USB 3.0 Enclosure

This aluminium-alloy enclosure converts a 3.5 inch SATA hard drive or solid-state drive into an external USB 3.0 storage device. It includes a USB cable, a 12V 2A EU power adapter, a screwdriver and mounting screws. The theoretical transfer rate reaches 5Gbps.

Suits users adding a single 3.5 inch SATA drive

Buyers needing to connect 2.5 inch drives without a separate adapter, or requiring an internal mounting bracket, should look elsewhere. The enclosure also lacks a built-in cooling fan, so sustained heavy workloads may run warmer.

USB 3.0 interface with 5Gbps theoretical speed

The USB 3.0 connection determines the maximum data throughput for the installed SATA drive. Actual transfer rates will depend on the drive performance and host controller.

Questions about this item

How do I install a 3.5 inch SATA drive into the aluminum enclosure and what step is often missed?

Open the case, connect the drive to the internal SATA connector, secure it with the supplied screws, close the cover, attach the 12V 2A power adapter, then plug the USB 3.0 cable into the computer. The step often missed is fastening the drive with the included screws before closing the enclosure.

What maintenance or replacement will this enclosure need over time?

The enclosure itself has no moving parts. The included 12V 2A power adapter or the USB 3.0 data cable may need replacement if they fail after extended use.

What limit appears first during sustained transfers with the USB 3.0 interface?

The theoretical transmission speed tops out at 5Gbps, so the USB 3.0 interface bandwidth is the first limit reached during sustained large-file transfers.
