Pros & Cons
Pros
Worked fine in usb 3. Male adapter to connect external drive to my pc. Initialize the disk ( a new 1tb wd blue) and voila. No loss in performance with read and write speeds. I have two that each have a 2tb samsung drive in each.
Sure, it's not the cheapest enclosure, but it'll outlast anything else on the market. The aluminum body is rugged and can really take a beating. Worth the price in my opinion.
Cons
Speed is not the issue in my case but random disconnecting is. Exchanged and got the same problem with the enclosure again after a few months. Attempts to partition or format it in disk management were a waste of time.
Highlights
Quality
My only issue is price but otherwise great build quality and performance for my oversized drive
Build quality of the case is good too
Didnt install with the adhesive but left the foam piece to provide resistance
Price
The price is a little high but this is much better than the rest of those cheap enclosures
But for the price youre paying is completely worth it
Competitiveness
Fits my 5tb drive perfectly so i can use it as extended storage for my ps4
I have two that each have a 2tb samsung drive in each
I am using this startech case to host a 1tb seagate barracuda ssd in the context of my audio system
Initialize the disk a new 1tb wd blue and voila
