## Description

desertcart.com: Inateck 3.5 Hard Drive Enclosure, Tools Free HDD Enclosure, FE3002 : Electronics

Review: Perfect enclosure - I use this with Ubuntu Server and use it as an NAS. It is quiet and you can only hear it when it spins up. I had vantec enclosures previously which were great, but I grew tired of noise the fans made and this is a great replacement. I have no issues with connectivity. The only downside is that it won't power on automatically when the computer boots so you have to power it up separately with it's own power button. I don't find that a real problem because I keep it on. I'm running a media server, Pihole and Vorta backup. It's been great.
Review: Easiest Case to Install a Drive - The case is easy to open with no screws slides on grooved edge instead. The power button is on top and easy to get to. The material is made from cheap plastic. Not sure how it would hold up to the case being moved around a lot but for stationary purposes it is fine. It took about 30 sec to remove all the screws from the old one 6 in total and about 5 sec to install and shut the new case. There is a little sponge that sits on top of the hard drive to cut out the play from the hard drive to the case. I think it needs to be a little thicker. Again if it is going to be moved around a lot I would think twice about this case but for sitting on your desk ot is great.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Like it for now works well
*by B***G on December 21, 2020*

I did so much research on many HHD enclosures I did not want to buy any of them. So many problems out there for such a simple device, I can't beleive it. LIKED: Holes in the bottom for air to get in, I may add some to the SIDING TOP Also. I put a crashed old 500 WD drive and this device said the drive had problems and asked to run a checksum. My old drive is now working again noisy but working SSD REPLACEMENT for this old drive. Only used twice and I like it so far. These manufactures have to come up with updates on the firmware. Otherwize these little boxes go south very fast. If this box stops working Iam going to a USB cord with a adapter for HHDs and12v power supply China sells for 5 bucks. Not going to play their game of replace every year. Good luck.
