I suspect that this particular type of case has a functional issue. Sometimes it does not "open," while other times it "opens."

I wanted a case to upgrade a laptop from HDD to SSD. I bought the cheapest option I found because I didn't think about what could go wrong. After many failed attempts to clone the disk and after many trials and various programs and then contacting various technicians, having wasted days of my efforts, it occurred to me to try another case. Everything went perfectly on the first try. This specific one has the following problem. If you connect it to USB 3.0, even though it says it supports it, the disk disconnects. If you connect it to USB 2.0, it works but still defectively. It transfers data for 1 second and stops for 15 seconds. This specific one is not defective, I bought a second one and it has exactly the same behavior. Stay away from this product, it is the worst thing I have bought in recent years. Spend 2-3 euros more and get something that actually works.

It's not bad. The USB cable is 60cm long and is a type A USB, meaning it's a regular USB. The package has 3 screws, but only 2 are needed. My package came with a simple screwdriver and not a magnetic one. Be VERY careful how you put it on because I broke it a little at the joint.

In this particular case, it is true that you get what you pay for! It seems to have a sturdy construction, but if I had the opportunity, I would definitely choose another one. Be careful when removing the board, as it is very easy for it to stay in your hand! My previous one broke and also had frequent disconnections and connections after 1 year. However, I believe it is a fair proposition since it gives you a metal case at a very low price. If you want better quality, unfortunately, you have to pay for it!...

Stable and relatively fast. But it is true, as mentioned elsewhere, that when it is in use, the wireless mouse and keyboard do not perform well

So far, it works great (purchased 2 months ago) and it is also quite fast in data transfer. Additionally, the disk fits perfectly without many disturbances.

It does its job, stable, without disconnections as they claim. The negative point is the lack of isolation of the frequencies of the USB 3, which causes wireless devices operating at the 2.4GHz frequency (mice, keyboards, wifi, etc.) to either lose signal or, in the case of wifi, load/download very slowly. I believe it's worth spending a little more money to get another enclosure without the aforementioned problem.

Good and sturdy case. It connects very easily. It has two fixing screws. The packaging includes a leather carrying case and a screwdriver with spare screws. It claims to have USB 3 speed, but I have no way to measure it. Don't hesitate, get it. It does its job perfectly. Don't waste extra money unnecessarily.

2 cases that work perfectly ... the person with the negative reviews probably inserted a faulty disk or their case was defective ...

Maybe it is one of the worst cases on the market!
While in terms of appearance and build quality it predisposes you for something good, when it comes time to connect it to the computer, it reveals all its weaknesses straight away!
Constant disconnections, even though I took out and repositioned the hard drive in the case at least 5 times!

It was purchased 15 days ago to "accommodate" an internal laptop hard drive, after upgrading to an SSD. Unacceptable product. When placing the disk in the enclosure and connecting it to the USB, it constantly disconnects and reconnects, as if losing contact. After removing and reinserting it into the enclosure three times, the problem still persists, and now the same issue occurs with the adapter (SATA to USB) even outside the enclosure.

For another upgrade, this was purchased: https://www.skroutz.gr/s/7716530/Powertech-PT-198.html, which is far superior and cheaper. Their leather case deteriorated (included in the package along with the box for the hard drive)
