## Description

desertcart.com: SABRENT 2.5 Inch SATA to USB 3.0 Tool Free External Hard Drive Enclosure [Optimized for SSD, Support UASP SATA III] Black (EC-UASP) : Electronics

Review: Excellent Quality, Simple, and Works Perfectly - I bought the SABRENT 2.5 Inch SATA to USB 3.0 Tool Free External Hard Drive Enclosure (EC-UASP) after the USB connector on my previous external drive failed. Instead of replacing the whole drive, I removed the HDD and installed it into this enclosure—and I’m really glad I did. The build quality is excellent. It’s lightweight but still feels solid and durable. Assembly was incredibly easy—truly tool-free as advertised—and took just a couple of minutes. Performance has been flawless. It connected immediately, works perfectly, and I’ve had zero issues so far. It basically gave new life to my old hard drive. Overall, I couldn’t be more satisfied with this purchase. If you’re looking for a reliable, simple, and well-built enclosure, this is a great choice.
Review: Almost perfect - This was exactly what I was looking for. Easy access to swap a drive if I need to and best part of all IT HAS A POWER SWITCH ON IT! Now for those of you that wonder why I say that. First of all I work on computers and I also edit audio and video files for various companies for commercials, demos, theatrical events and that's my side business and hobby. So I move around a lot of large raw and wav and assorted video files and backup applications and then there's Windows 10. If you live and breath in windoze land and by their rules like an ostrich with your head in the sand or a sheep then you may as well stop reading this and move on. But if you run multiple operating systems like I do then golden rule #1. Windows watches and monitors EVERYTHING you do constantly. All my documents pictures and private things are kept on external drives specifically for this reason and also because I want to be able to use them in various flavors of linux or on mac as well. so ALL of it stays on externals nicely out of windows prying eyes. I can plug this drive the way I have it set up into any pc, and use the on and off switch when I want something from it. This completely stops all this "you need to scan and fix this drive before you can use it" crap. Now anyone that uses other operating systems knows no matter what you do, even if you use the little eject usb options in windows, if you run the drive on a different operating system first time you use it on windows again its going to do this and also it may ask you or tell you to reformat the drive. There is nothing wrong with anything except its just windows getting prissy cause you used another operating system besides theirs. this is the only reason this happens. I say prissy cause desertcart wont let me say B----y in a review but this is the bare facts. Windows thinks its the only thing in the world worth using and they want you to think that too. Anyway I dropped a Crucial BX500 1tb sold state drive in this and its perfect, and does everything I want it to and I'm getting great read and write speeds and a lot faster than any of the seagate or WD external drives and it does exactly what I want. The only thing that would make it any better was if it was externally powered so windows couldn't put it to sleep. If you use external drives and are tired of drives sleeping and windows constantly nagging you about what you do with it then try doing it thsi way. Its faster, its solid state so you don't have to worry about shock speeds or heat and its fast. Extremely fast depending on the drive you choose to put in it and best of all its actually lower in priceand you get better performance than the other "ready-to-go" off the shelf pre made externals. Read a little, learn a little and try it yourself and save yourself some money time and frustration. and dont let the odd usb cable fool you, they are easy to find and the connector is a lot less trouble free than a mini usb or type c and the best part of it, you can use this setup with a common cable they way I have it set up with any android or apple phone that allows external storage so its versatile as well. Just buy it. You wont regret it. I have mine setup with 2 partitions. one set up as storage and I have a 40gb partition with Linux Mint 64 bootable on it all set up as a service toolbox for other PC's as well and it just flies in anything I attach it to. A lot faster than a flash drive and 900gb of space to do or save anything else you want. You cant make a seagate or WD prefab external do that like this and have it run this well. There's absolutely no cons here, just possibly the perfect external drive case.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What exactly is this? An External HD?**
A: It is an enclosure that you mount an internal hard drive in to basically make it external. Once you mount the hard drive on it you can then use the usb to plug it in.

**Q: Does this work with an SSD SATA III?**
A: Yes. I purchased it to clone my laptop HDD to an 850 EVO 500 GB SSD SATA III http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-2-5-Inch-Internal-MZ-75E500B-AM/dp/B00OBRE5UE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1436897118&sr=8-1&keywords=samsung+ssd+850&pebp=1436897118987&perid=0KYJ973XR7E3QJP29AAR. After I installed the SSD into the laptop I use the Sabrent as a backup for the HDD I removed from the laptop.

**Q: Is this enclosure made of plastic or metal (aluminum preferably) I don't think it says anywhere in the product description. Thanks in advance!**
A: The case is plastic. Your laptop hard drive that you put into the plastic case is aluminum. The plastic case come with a USB cord to plug into another computer to access any stored files on the hard drive that you insert into the plastic case. The hard drive that you insert into the plastic case will also serve as an external hard drive. On the plastic case there is an on and off switch and a blue light that illuminates when turned on. VERY IMPORTANT: before you unplug it from your computer you must click on the icon and eject the device. You have to do that process with anything you plug into a computer. If you do not eject any device plugged into a computer you run the risk of erasing what is plugged into the computer. Also do not get any hard drive close to a magnet because the magnet will erase a hard drive

**Q: This is for Sabrent, is this Item model number: EC-UASP, made of aluminum or plastic?**
A: "Product Info.Material 	Plastic"

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works Great!!
*by G***K on March 20, 2026*

This review is for SABRENT 2.5 Inch SATA to USB 3.0 Tool Free Clear External Hard Drive Enclosure [Optimized for SSD, Supports UASP SATA III] (EC-OCUB). I have a 320GB drive and a 1TB drive from two very old Dell and HP laptops that I no longer have but I kept these drives “just in case”, never thinking that I’d ever be able to read them, EVER. Well, with this enclosure, I was finally able to access everything on those old drives. I actually bought this clear enclosure and an aluminum enclosure at the same time to compare them. While I like this clear enclosure for how cool it looks and how easy it is to insert my old SATA 2.5” drive into it, I thought the plastic felt a bit “weak” and wanting. The speed was also fast as far as i could tell. If not for the coolness factor, I’d say to go with the aluminum enclosure because it’s nice and solid but just takes a little more work to slip the drive into it. Overall, this is one of my best findings so far this year. After almost a decade of holding on to the old SATA drive from my laptops I can finally access all my old files and/or reuse the drives for backup. I am so psyched about this! I’m not too wild about the thin plastic feel of this enclosure so I’d give it a 4.5/5.0 - 03/20/2026.
