Minimal greater than a 2.5-inch hard drive

Everyone has sometime left an old 2.5-inch hard drive from an old notebook and then put them in a hard drive enclosure.
There are countless housing and many are very good. One of these is the housing of DBPower, namely, the PC-500.

This housing has a significant advantage, in my view, it hardly contributes to. Only in length some space is required for the electronics with just 1cm. Otherwise, the case is 5mm taller and wider.
During my tests, the heat the hard disk has been dissipated, so that the hard disk itself does not overheat. That's what I already experienced differently with other enclosures. As it also happened that long Writes were eventually canceled due to the hot spots.

The hard disk is easy to use and install.

Only the included USB3.0 connecting cable is laid on the plate side with a mini-USB connector. All other hard drive enclosure that I own, have a micro USB connector USB3.0.

With CrystalDiskMark sequential acceptable 61MB read and 54MB write almost be determined what the face of my old Festplattte quite well are values.
Here is the complete readings:

* MB / s = 1,000,000 bytes / sec [SATA / 300 = 300,000,000 bytes / s]

Sequential Read: 61,750 MB / s
Sequential Write: 59 480 MB / s
Random Read 512KB: 19,784 MB / s
512KB Random Write: 25,050 MB / s
4KB Random Read (QD = 1): 0.225 MB / s [54.9 IOPS]
Random Write 4KB (QD = 1): 0.563 MB / s [137.4 IOPS]
4KB Random Read (QD = 32): 0.393 MB / s [95.9 IOPS]
Random Write 4KB (QD = 32): 0.582 MB / s [142.0 IOPS]

Test: 1000 MB [F: 76.5% (356.4 / 465.8 GB)] (x5)

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 [6.1 Build 7601] (x64)

All in all, the case very well made and does the job very well.

From me it gives a thumbs up and my buy recommendation!
