2.5 inch SATA to USB 3.1 Enclosure

This transparent black enclosure converts a 2.5 inch SATA SSD or HDD into an external USB 3.1 drive. It supports drives up to 8TB and uses a tool-free sliding cover for quick installation. The USB 3.0 to Type-C cable provides plug-and-play connectivity with no drivers required.

For laptop storage expansion and data backup

It suits users who want to reuse a 2.5 inch SATA drive for extra capacity or file transfers between Windows and Mac systems. The blue LED indicates activity through the clear PC shell. Buyers needing an M.2 interface or a 3.5 inch drive bay should look elsewhere.
