2.5″ SATA USB 3.0 enclosure

This silver aluminium enclosure converts a single 2.5″ SATA drive into a portable USB 3.1 Gen 1 device. It draws power from the USB port at 5 V and requires no external adapter. The case measures 129 mm by 79.9 mm by 13 mm and weighs 86 g without a drive installed. Transcend Elite software is included for data management.

Suits single-drive portable storage

Builders who want to reuse a 2.5″ SATA HDD or SSD for backups, media libraries or OS migration will find the plug-and-play design convenient. UASP support improves throughput on compatible hosts. The enclosure is not for users who need to install more than one drive or who require an internal mounting solution.

SATA III 6 Gb/s internal interface

The internal connector is SATA III 6 Gb/s, so any 2.5″ SATA hard drive or solid-state drive fits without adaptation. If your drive uses a different internal interface this enclosure will not accept it.

Questions about this item

Does the aluminum case keep the 2.5" SATA drive cool when it runs all day?

The enclosure operates between 5 and 55 °C and uses an aluminum case that acts as a passive heatsink, so the drive stays within safe temperature limits during continuous use without any fan noise.

What must I already own to use the TS0GSJ25S3 with my laptop?

You need a 2.5-inch SATA hard drive or SSD and a computer with a free USB Type-A port; the enclosure draws power from the USB DC 5 V connection so no separate power adapter is required.

Will this USB 3.1 Gen 1 enclosure work with the USB 2.0 ports on my older desktop?

Yes, the external interface is backward compatible with USB 2.0, so the enclosure will function on older ports at USB 2.0 speeds while still supporting UASP when connected to USB 3.0.
