  • Excellent! I installed a SAMSUNG 860 evo 256GB inside without any problem, and the cable is a satisfactory length compared to some other Chinese junk.

    A fine case with a cable for 4€ and easy to set up.
    I didn't do any proper test but on an HDD it was writing at about 80 MB/s. For simple use and secondary drives, it's good.

    It is absolutely decent for its price (€4.20). For those interested, it uses the Initio INIC-3639PF chip which supports up to USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5GB/s) and 4TB drives (note, officially 2TB). Usually, Delock products use it. Windows recognizes it in the newer UASP mode (not BOT), but it doesn't reach full performance because it only has 16MB RAM. Note, it does NOT pass the TRIM command to the drive if it is an SSD, so prefer it for conventional drives.

    A simple plastic case to get the job done with little money. On the plus side, it opens without tools. You insert the hard drive. You close it and it works. On the downside, the build quality. It matches the money you pay. Simply acceptable.

    Simple, cheap, plastic solution. However, for simple use (e.g. occasional backup), I don't think it has anything to envy from other more expensive or even much more expensive ones... Of course, the ultimate judge of everything is time...

    The evaluation should be based on the money you give and if what you get is worth it. So, it is a plastic case which works properly with easy installation of the disk. I believe it does not offer protection in case of a fall. It is worth the 5€ I bought it for.
