AVANTEK USB 3.0 External Hard Drive Enclosure for 2.5 inch SATA I II III HDD SSD Up to 4TB [Tool-free assembly] (Electronics)

Customer Review

Since 4 years I am angry about a Seagate Replica drive with 500GB that had permanent connection problems and drop-outs.
Now it reached me and I have the case cracked, gekloppt in the bin and the built-in Momentus laid in this Avantek housing.

Quite as simple as desired was the incorporation but unfortunately not.
First of all, in the manual in the installation instructions for the lock button is not mentioned.
One recognizes him though on the product image in the actual direction was forgotten on unlocking noted.
Accordingly, I could not easily push away as described and insert the disk housing.
When I discovered the lock knob and push it wanted to unlock it is contrary to please me directly.
But I could seemingly harmless fix again as I have clicked the button again.
I hope holds the .....

Then the top cover of the housing of the folding strap let move away.
Then I folded the strap down and pushed the plate.
Thereupon, the first hanger was but no longer fold.
Only with some "oomph" I have the plate a few millimeters can continue to push on the SATA connector.
Then I folded the strap again, pushed back the upper side, put the lock button to "lock on" and I was finally finished.
I honestly had imagined something simple.

Using the included USB 3.0 cable, the board then ran straight upstairs to my PC.
My Windows 7 immediately recognized a "Seatray HD215" drive and need for any additional drivers.
Prima!

The housing is also suitable for SSD's and will certainly also provide 250-300 MB / s or a little more transfer rate according to the USB 3.0 specification
As for me, the Seagate Momentus is the limiting factor, I came to write about 70 MB / s read and 85 MB / s.
So I am very satisfied!
By remodeling action I now have a three times as fast external hard drive as before.

The case is the way completely of plastic.
Worth mentioning is definitely still the blue top, which comes across completely different on the product photos.
It is metallic blue and has higher quality than expected.

A USB 3.0 connection is signaled by the LED luminous blue, a USB 2.0 connection white.

The currently supplied Polsterstückchen serves the fixation of eg SSD's with only 7mm height that would otherwise slack in the housing.

This external enclosure served its purpose and enables fast screwless drive installation when you have understood the system.
I give 4 stars because I do not think that's an above-average price-performance ratio OK and the installation by the bug in the guidance was harder than expected.

I hope this review could assist you in your buying decision ...
