Excellent all around. Highly recommend
Performance with my 2.5” SSD is super fast. It was a little tough inserting the drive into the adapter but once I got it in it was snug and secure. The look of the product is clean. Seems to be pretty durable. The provided usb cables seems to be of good quality and it’s super easy to use. You literally just insert your drive and plug it into whatever you like and the drive pops right up.This is worth every cent I paid for it. Great way to store extra games on your gaming console or for storing a saved windows OS backup in case of a system crash. So many different uses for this. It’s basically a modular external SSD drive now.

Brittle, but for eight bucks, I'm happy with it
tl;dr: Brittle. Easy install. Data rates seem fine. Five stars for the price.This case comes in a box that fits like a skin over the case itself. The extras (a 300mm tip-to-tip USB cable, 2 little foam stick-on pads, and some paperwork) all come tucked into the case itself. Installation of my ssd drive could not have been easier.I opted for a clear case because I thought it would be neat to see the innards. It is. That said, I can tell the plastic is very brittle. One drop and this case IS going to shatter. Trust me. I would not be surprised if the black version is more impact resistant, but I am only speculating on that point. Were I to do it again, I would get the black one just to find out.Bottom line is, despite obviously being made of some pretty cheap, brittle plastic, the case works like a champ and did not seem to bottleneck transfer speeds in any way. For $8 at the time of this review, it's an easy five star.

Work great. Instructions were not helpful.
This hard drive enclosure is working as described, and it is just what I needed to house an external hard drive to store some old files and to use for backups.The hardest part of any of my DIY computer projects is opening the case, and this enclosure was no exception. After more than a few frustrating minutes, I was finally able to open the case. The rest of the install was quick and smooth. The pictures of the unit on amazon were actually more helpful than the instructions.Then came the formatting. I don't know what type of computer the instructions were written for, but if you have a Windows 11 OS, throw away the instructions. If you are trying to use a HD with existing data on it, just plug it in and go. If you are using a new hard drive (with Windows 11) you will need to initialize the drive, then format it. Both are done with the Disk Management utility. Google is your friend.Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase. It is working fine.

Easy to use and cheaper than ready to use drives
Easy to use, once one figures out how to open it (better instructions would be helpful). Once open the drive slides in, connects and seals up in seconds. Slim, nice looking and the computer finds this easily to partition the new drive and recognize it after that. Nice for backup that can be disconnected and stashed in the event of a crash or virus. It was cheaper to get this and an internal drive than to buy a ready to use external drive. I got two - one for an extra drive and the other for stashing data away from calamity. - and I got to choose the size storage I wanted.

POSUGEAR 2.5'' External Hard Drive Enclosure works perfectly
This POSUGEAR 2.5'' External Hard Drive Enclosure was purchased to make a 2.5" eSATA drive into a USB drive. It was very easy to add the drive to the case and once connected worked perfectly, without issue. The case is plastic but for me it stays in one place, attached to a DVR so I don't worry about it dropping or anything similar.

Works OK, but difficult at first to open the enclosure.
This review is for the POSUGEAR 2.5'' External Hard Drive Enclosure, 6Gbps USB C 3.1 Gen 2 to SATA III Tool-Free Clear External Hard Drive Case (ASIN B0C9TD9NVD). The enclosure works as it should, except for one thing: The enclosure was initially much harder to open than it should be, so one star off for 4/5 stars total. I could not open the enclosure at first, I was afraid of cracking the plastic. I sent a message to the seller asking for help. I received a prompt reply that included these words: "...our products need you to slide down hard to open..." So I tried to open the enclosure again but using more force. I found that if I pressed down firmly on the rear of the top piece of plastic in the area over the component side of the internal circuit board and slid the plastic cover forward at the same time, it would finally move then come off entirely. Be careful. I think if you push too hard, the sliding cover will crack. After the first time you successfully remove the cover, replace it and remove it again a few more times. It gets easier to remove with practice. Next time I will look for a metal drive enclosure that uses screws! But it will probably cost more.
