What it is

The YINGHUA T22 is a 2.5 inch SATA to USB 3.0 hard drive enclosure built from ABS plastic. It uses an IS621 or JM578 bridge chip to connect a SATA drive to a USB port. The box includes a USB 3.0 cable for immediate use.

Who it suits and who should look elsewhere

It suits anyone wanting to turn a 2.5 inch SATA hard drive or SSD into external storage for Windows 7, 8, 10 or Mac OS 8.6 and later. Hot-swap support lets you change drives without rebooting. It does not accept 3.5 inch drives or drives with other interfaces.

Deciding specification

The USB 3.0 interface delivers a theoretical 5 Gb per second transfer rate while remaining backward compatible with USB 2.0 at 480 Mb per second and USB 1.1. Your actual throughput will depend on the drive installed and the host port used.

Questions about this item

What does the USB 3.0 interface on the YINGHUA T22 cap at in real use?

The USB 3.0 link tops out at 5 Gbit/s theoretical; actual throughput depends on the drive and host controller.

What physical drive size and height does the T22 enclosure accept?

It fits 2.5 inch SATA hard drives and SSDs; the ABS shell is sized for standard 2.5 inch form factor drives.

How do I install a drive in the T22 and what step is often missed?

Slide the SATA drive into the internal connector, snap the cover shut, then plug the supplied USB 3.0 cable into a USB 3.0 port; skipping the USB 3.0 port drops speed to USB 2.0 rates.
