POSUGEAR 2.5'' External Hard Drive Enclosure USB 3.0 to SATA III

This hard drive external case works without a hitch. You open the cover, position the slot, and plug it into a USB port. That's it. It was immediately recognized by the PC in detail. The brand, the capacity, and the speed were all displayed. I did not have to initialize it since it already had data on it from previous PC use. Later, when I wanted to use it for backup, it formatted to my choice of NTFS. Not a glitch. I think it goes into sleep mode when not being used, but I am not sure. I have been using my PC for hours, sometimes as much as eight, and there have been no signs of overheating or any malfunction. The only problem I had was with the cover. It seemed that once I got it on, it wanted to stay shut forever. It was difficult to put the cover on or off. Great to prevent children from accessing it, but it was a hassle. I like it a lot for its simplicity and clear plastic see-through. The plastic is not the strongest, but with the HDD in it, it was more than strong enough. For its functionality, ease of use, and low price, it is a winner.

Excellent item.

Great and simple product. As described. Great service.

Nice cheap enclosure. Feels decently made and works as it should. Crystal case in nice

I found it super easy to open, and install the drive. I would probably buy another one, when I need it. However… I had a strange “drive recognition” problem. The SSD tech support said, the problem just should not have happened, so I am thinking it is related to this case. If you have this case, and a drive that does not “show up” under “My PC”, but the drive IS listed and working in Device Manager, AND you see this device listed where you eject USB devices, …YOU CAN FIX IT! I have older DELL computers, maybe that contributes…we do not know. DO THIS, get to your Disk Management screen (not Device Manager). Scroll down, find the drive that says it is NOT initialized. Right click and initialize it. Then it may say “unassigned”, so right click, assign it, and give it a Drive Letter. Like a small miracle, your drive is now fine, accessible, and shows up in all of the expected places. For some reason, for some of us users, this is a necessary step to finish setting up the drive. There is a good chance it is this USB box, but it really is an easy fix, when you know what the issue is.

Perfect t little sad enclosure. Cheap. Works great. Suooorts usb 3

Turned my old HDD into a nice portable drive thank you

My previous hard drive enclosure failed on me after not too long having it. I've had this one for a few weeks and it still works fine. Thinking about buying another one.
