Desktop drive enclosure

The YINGHUA enclosure turns a 3.5 inch SATA hard disk or solid-state drive into an external USB 2.0 storage device. An aluminium alloy and ABS shell houses the drive and connects to a host computer through the supplied data cable. It is aimed at users who want simple access to desktop-class drives without installing them internally. No driver installation is required for the listed operating systems.

Aluminium shell with EU power adapter

The metal construction helps dissipate heat from mechanical or solid-state drives during extended use. A 12 V 2 A EU adapter powers the unit from 100-240 V mains, so the enclosure runs independently of the host USB port. The SATA interface inside mates directly with the drive, while the USB 2.0 link caps theoretical throughput at 480 Mbps. A screwdriver and mounting hardware are included for drive installation.

Ready-to-use accessory kit

The package supplies the enclosure, a USB data cable, the EU power adapter, a screwdriver and a component pack containing mounting screws. These items let you fit a drive and connect to a Windows or Mac system immediately. The bundled hardware removes the need to source separate power or fastening parts. Compatibility spans legacy Windows versions through Windows 10 and Mac OS 8.6 or later.
