Portable SATA drive enclosure

This pink 2.5 inch enclosure turns a SATA hard drive or solid-state drive into an external USB storage device. It suits laptop owners who want to reuse an internal drive for backups or file transfers. The ABS shell has a frosted finish and measures 120x73x12mm. A soft cushion is included to protect the drive inside.

USB 2.0 interface limits speed

The single specification that decides fit is the USB 2.0 connection, which caps theoretical throughput at 480mbps. This is adequate for mechanical hard drives but will bottleneck any SATA SSD. Buyers who need the full speed of a solid-state drive should choose a USB 3.0 or faster enclosure instead.

Tool-free assembly with mini-B cable

The drive slides into the case and connects to the internal SATA header without screws or tools. A USB 2.0 to mini-B data cable is supplied for the host connection. The mini-B plug is less common than micro-B or Type-C, so verify your computer has a compatible port or keep an adapter handy.

Questions about this item

What real-world transfer speed can I expect from the 480 Mbps USB 2.0 interface when the enclosure is in use?

The theoretical maximum is 480 Mbps; actual throughput will be lower due to protocol overhead and the drive's own limits.

Does the USB 2.0 to USB mini-B connection restrict the performance of a SATA SSD installed inside?

Yes, the 480 Mbps USB 2.0 link caps the SSD well below its native SATA speed.

What are the exact dimensions and drive-size requirement for the enclosure to fit a 2.5 inch drive?

The case measures 120 x 73 x 12 mm (4.72 x 2.87 x 0.47 in) and accepts any 2.5 inch SATA HDD or SSD.
