Purchased for mobile use and stocked with a WD 500GB running this part really great. Unfortunately, the connector has been processed internally flawed on the front panel and can the normal movements when plugging and unplugging as well positioned not mechanically endure. After 3 weeks, the super thin tabs of the connector to the board were already broken, since they are not mechanically fixed but freely a 90 degree bend down to the board. This could be made worse hardly. Because this happened on a longer trip abroad, I've saved the claim and the part disposed of easily. Clearly not recommended, unless you operate an external 2.5 "HD only locally with mechanically fixed USB cable.
