Vention 2.5″ SATA Hard Drive Enclosure USB 3.0 Black (KPAB0)
The Vention 2.5″ SATA Hard Drive Enclosure USB 3.0 Black (KPAB0) turns a spare 2.5-inch SATA HDD or SSD into a portable external storage drive, so an old laptop drive doesn’t have to sit unused in a drawer. It connects through a USB 3.0 Micro-B interface, and, as a result, delivers data transfer speeds of up to 5Gbps, fast enough to move a 1GB file in around 3 seconds under ideal conditions. In addition, it supports UASP and TRIM acceleration protocols, which optimize CPU usage and keep an SSD running at its best over time. Furthermore, the enclosure works with any 2.5-inch SATA I/II/III drive up to 6TB, with a maximum drive height of 9.5mm, and installs on a tool-free, slide-open basis, so no screws or screwdrivers are needed. Its ABS shell with nickel-plated connectors resists corrosion, while an internal anti-vibration foam cushion protects the drive from shocks during transport, and a blue LED indicator shows working status at a glance. The enclosure draws power directly from USB, so no external adapter is required, and it works across Windows, macOS, and Linux.
