Fast setup. Nice size. Works well with Macs and PCs if formatted correctly before using.



easy to install disk easy to use fast

I was a little leery about buying this, having been burned in times past, but I'm happy to report it does exactly what it says: Makes a true SAS hard drive visible via USB. I tested it under Linux (Kubuntu 24.04 LTS), with an old HP 146GB 2.5" drive, and experimented with both wxHexEditor and the standard Linux partition editor. I was able to, with the hex editor, literally step through every sector/byte on the drive and easily alter or search. This is a Great Thing for file recovery and similar disk forensics. As far as the partition editor goes, I was able to create a standard FAT32 partition on the SAS disk and write/read files on it. Was it the fastest thing on the planet? Of course not. You're going through the overhead of a USB port plus the USB-to-SAS bridge circuitry. But it WORKED!

Low-cost solution for duplicating M2 NVMe

The case holds the 3.5" HDD's nicely. I store the drives in ESD bags and the bags in the slots and it works well

Nice and compact

- Simple and easy to use. - Small footprint. - Multiple connection options.

Very portable, inexpensive and do not require any tool. The two 1 TB old laptop drives I had worked like a charm.


Feels quite tough, like it will certainly survive a fall. Inside is soft lined. Cooling does not seem to be an issue with regular hard drives - After 2 hours of transferring onto my new HGST 7K1000 1TB drive, it is only at 38c. Includes additional foam pad for the super thin drives.

-Easy to install -Comes with thermal pads which seem to be decent -Good read and write speeds.

Nice HD 2.5" case.
