Excellent Case for hard drives, I have already 2 years using this

Rather than spend 100usd/hour at a computer repair (I could just buy the same computer for the price of 3 hours of labor at that rate), I wanted to try to recover my hard drive (most of which I'd had the foresight to back up 1 week earlier onto an external harddrive) which had some specific projects that were not backed up externally.

I installed an SSD in my MacBook Pro and wanted to be able to utilize my old hard drive as external storage, this was exactly what I needed.

This enclosure was a perfect fit for the laptop's hard drive and functioned just as advertised

This hard drive enclosure was delivered quickly in professional packaging.

I finally got on the ball and ordered this hard drive enclosure, when it came the hardest part was extracting the 2.5 inch hard drive from my old Sony Vaio laptop (built like a tank in about 1999 or 2000.

My laptop stopped charging and I had no way of accessing the information that I really needed on the hard drive

I am now stuck with a $2500 bill from a data recovery company because they said that the enclosure was not enough to protect this drive from shock

If you have an old laptop or broken computer whose hard drive still holds memories in the form of pics and videos and you wsnt get those handy or even store your current stuff in an external, then this product is perfect for you

unwrapping, removing hard drive and installing and uploading to new computer in 20 minutes, and now have a back up hard drive

Once that is done, I may get another hard drive for the Sabrent and create an external back up drive for all of our computers

The drive installed quickly with no tools and it works well.

easy solution to check hard drives content

hard drive snaps right in and works great.

The instruction illustrations were helpful but being given some assurance one would not break the case to press the hard drive into the padding would have assuage my concerns and perhaps others

No nice way to put this - it simply was not recognized as an active accessible drive by my Windows 10 laptop

In that case, you would need to get the connectors out of your hard drive and buy a new enclosure

I am pretty clumsy/careless at times and can not begin to tell you how many hard drives I have ruined, as a result.

The hard drive shakes inside

Took an old hard drive out of my '11 MacBook Pro, and used this case

Easy to swap out hard drives.

Most external hard drives do not have an on/off switch so the hard drive will be constantly on when connected to the Xbox One USBs (which are constantly powered on).EDIT: I bought two of these and just tried it with the Seagate Firecuda 2TB for my laptop.

I replaced my HD in my computer with and SD and this is what I am using to protect and make my HD a usable external hard drive.
