Ineo 2.5" USB 3.0 Type A Rugged Waterproof & Shockproof External HDD Enclosure - IP66 Rated, Compatible with PS5, Xbox, Laptops, MacBook, WD, Seagate, Toshiba, Samsung, Hitachi [T2566-II]

First of all the cable is permanently attached.I LOVE THATYou don't lose the cable, you don't have an extra one to keep up with, it stows well, and it works well. I get great USB 3 transfer speeds. If you're like me and you happen to have a bunch of 2.5" drives sitting around gathering dust, this is an excellent way to turn them into portable drives.This model is the rugged one. It's a little more difficult to install the drive than the budget model, but it's worth the extra work. This thing reminds me of mobile phones I've carried around in Otter Box cases in the past. I carry a drive in my military style MOLLE backpack and I'm not worried about damaging anything. It's water resistant and impact resistant, exactly what someone who's rough on stuff like I am needs.I keep budget ones at home, I keep this one with me.

Great design at a great price.Opens easily with 6 phillips screws that keep hard shell secured around a pliant rubber gasket/bumper and carrier that cradles the drive. Drive slides into carrier securely. Carrier provides very substantial shock absorption and looks like it should also be well-sealed from moisture (i didn't test but it leaves no doubt). Shell is rigid and strong. Integrated sturdy USB cable stores easily and securely around outer edge of bumper offering further shock absorption for an edge hit. Cable storage provides protection for the USB plug. Installed drive is detected immediately. Data transfers at full drive speed (e.g., 75 MB/s) Blue LED shines through one side of case to show operation.

I have a bunch of external drive cases. These are the best I have tried so far. 2.5 inch drives install in no time with no effort. They have a rugged design, plenty of protection, they are super light weight and the price is great. There is a nifty status light that compliments the case and it works.I would recommend this product for anyone that needs to use an external solution for laptop storage, backups, or portable media storage.. If one was so inclined, most operating systems that matter can be installed and run from the USB 3 interface. It would be cool to have several different colored cases for various uses. I usually find something to nitpick about but so far I believe these are a great investment to protect and organize my external drives. Also, they fit well in my laptop cases. I'll get some more of these cases. Good job ineo.

I bought a 1TB SSD to use with a new laptop that has limited, very expensive M.2 RAM.Since the SSD is expensive, I shopped for a shock-resistant case and this one with its promise of meeting a MIL spec looked good.I've noted the complaints about seemingly "defective" units and the remedies offered, so I was really careful about making sure that the SSD was fully seated. You have to push aside the seals to make visual verification of proper seating. It's easy to see how people may have inserted a drive and thought it was fully seated when it was not.Anyway, I put in the SSD, plugged the six-inch built-in cord into the USB 3.0 socket and the unit and then the drive were immediately recognized. I also tried it on a powered USB 3.0 hub with the same results.The six-inch cord length may be dictated by the design of the unit, but it is, in my opinion, too short. I will be carrying a short USB extension cable with this. On the other hand, the six-inch cable wraps snugly along the side and it isn't going to be lost or misplaced, which is one of the reasons this unit appealed to me.I don't know if this unit will live up to its shock-resistance claims and I am not going to be dropping it on a concrete floor to test it. But if appearances are any indicator, this unit is definitely built to absorb the effects of bumps and falls. Very impressive, in fact.The enclosure has a "macho" design which doesn't move me much and it is understandably larger than normal external drive housings.Six tiny screws secure the base plate to the housing. A small screwdriver is provided and my unit came with eight screws, which is nice because these screws dropped on a carpet are not going to be easy to find.The screws are going into silicone, not metal or hard plastic. You have to be very careful of not over-tightening them.Overall, I think I'm getting my money's worth in this case and that my SSD will be pretty well protected. I did use CrystalMark to benchmark my SSD in this case and it seems fast enough in my limited testing, which is good enough for my needs and under these circumstances. I'll be using this primarily for project storage and will transfer necessary files to the internal M.2 of the laptop, which is blazingly fast.Jerry

Good product and excellent seller and trustworthy for fast shipping

I was shocked at how easy they made this product to work with, the old SATA drive fit perfect booted straight away and has been working overtime with no problems

Very helpful device. I had a hard time with my laptop operation system, Windows didn't want to work. I had a lot of inportant information on my laptop hard drive so I google how to transfer it. Everybody just buying special cables for transfering data, but for me it wasn't enouph. I decided to find case for it and find this enclosure, it completly resolved all my problems.Abot device: -great solid hard drive enclosure.-usb 3.0 transferring my data very quickly-included screws and screwdriver to put case together.Does the job as it should!

It is just a case for your hard drive and it does not get recognized by the computer
