Nekteck Aluminum USB C Hard Drive Enclosure SATA HDD/SSD Adapter Case with USB Type C to C Gen 2 Cable Tool Free Hard Disk Enclosure - Silver 3.5In

This case is fine for those who want a backup drive, additional storage to add to NAS, or just to build some low cost high capacity desktop storage. It was easy to load and has worked well. For the cost, the power supply and USB are worth more than the case. For the downside, the USB port is in a strange location or maybe it is the power supply port or both. Either way something needs to go in a different location. The power button power and USB port are all on one side. This is a crazy stupid design. Put the two ports on the back or the power on the back, but not everything up front. This is why the best uses for the drive are stationary and not often powered on/off.

What I liked about this enclosure is the fact that there are rubber boots to go on both ends of the hard drive. This keeps the drive in place. In my opinion I feel the rubber boots also act like protection for the drive from any bumps of the drive. I’ve bought more expensive enclosures but this enclosure is my absolute favorite so far and the price is extremely reasonable. Only wish that I would have about the enclosure is; I wish the usb c cord was a little longer. However, the cord is definitely heavy duty. Still a GREAT deal if you ask me!

Read the reviews by others about the bad cable and disconnects, they are factual. This enclosure is the pits. If you even look at it wrong it will disconnect and then reconnecting it is a magic show of pressing a concealed button and hoping that it powers on. Oh and the power supply provided is awful and it buzzes in use. Really weird thing is that the unit will not work correctly with a different USB-C cable, I've tried multiple. The included USB-C cable it too short and too stiff making it fussy and causing the ejections mentioned. The drive connections are plastic too. It's just junk. I purchased this because it seems like it's basically impossible to get a decent 3.5" enclosure any longer and I was tired of spending the money. I was using this as a Time Machine/Backup drive for my Mac. But the experience has prompted me to just go to a 1TB SSD and an enclosure that I know actually works, and be done with it. Which, ironically is cheaper than buying a new mechanical HDD and enclosure, or a prebuilt mechanical "Time Machine" drive with enclosure.

Loved the price as it works great

I took an old wd mycloud and removed the drive (2tb). I formatted it to ex-fat and now use this to back up my galaxy s22 ultra pic and videos. Yes this drive is slow being a old HDD, and can take some time but I do this about once a week and the drive gives me a secure place to back up, and unload my phone for new space for videos and pics.

I was expecting little from the price but this enclosure runs at full usb 3 speeds and has a premium build with type c I see the reviews about the longevity but as of now it's outstanding

The actual product is not close quality depicted in the rendered pictures with gaps everywhere. However, it holds pretty tight with everything installed. It also works perfectly fine given you use the included cable or another usb cable rated 5gbps and above. I suspect most other buyers with negative experience have actually tried to connect with their phone's cable which most likely is usb 2.0. The included cable is also way to short at less than .5 meter. So prepare to spend on an extra cable with your purchase. Even in that case, this is still one of the best deal for a 3.5' enclosure shipped locally.

Poor design. doesn't fit well

Me gusto lo versátil, sus materiales de buena calidad y su uso me permite utilizar un Seagate de 4 teras sin problema.

Se instala fácil y viene con todo lo necesario, el cable viene bien empacado y es de alta taza de transferencia, siempre y cuando sea USB 3.2 o thunderbolt

Buen producto, le instale un disco duro 3.5pulgadas sin problemas, por el precio es de muy buen material y fácil de instalar, en el sistema operativo windows no tengo problemas al reconocer el dispositivo, pero en MacOs no me reconoce el dispositivo en puerto c ya con programas particiones de terceros.......dudo que exista otro producto similar por este precio, la entrega por parte de Amazon Excelente.

Muy difícil de abrir, pero muy fácil de usar, incluye gomas internas qué sirven para ajustar y anti vibración pero son batallosas de usar, en mi caso tengo dos Laptop en una laptop no quiere reconocer el disco sin importar el cable en la otra funciona a la perfección
