Quality


Specifically im using it to stream audio samples into a software sampler so its a lot of files being accessed in concert quickl...  Read More


This is my fourth version from them and i have been quite impressed by the manufacturing quality of these products


My real concern with this device is the quality of the plastic enclosure i’m not sure it’s going to make it through the long haul


This quality looking device is a machined aluminum enclosure for a sata hard drive or ssd and will readwrite data at usb 3

Shipping


Its not nearly sata iii fast since its not a sata iii drive but fast


With no moving internal parts it is less likely to mess up and it is fast


And with this enclosure the wd hard drive is hitting readwrite speeds that are almost as fast as the sandisk extreme

Packaging/appearance


I havent had any problems except for bad cables out of the box for a couple of the startech


Installing the kingston ssd inside the startech enclosure was extremely easy and from there it was just plug and play

Competitiveness


Great speeds on a rmbp and samsung evo 850


I had an old 500gb laptop drive that i thought would be nice to use as a portable drive


I did a crystaldiskmark test and saw a sequential read speed of 117


I own other proucts made by startech including other enclosures similar to this one usb3 sd card readers and a usb3 hub as well
