Wintech External USB 3.0 SATA Hard Drive Enclosure 8.8 cm (3.5 inches) black (accessories)

Customer Review

I was a bit skeptical. There is hardly affordable 3.5 "SATA USB 3.0 external housing of this kind. But the part made a reasonable impression, so try it!
Operation with a 2TB Hitachi HDS5C3020ALA632 turns out without any problems. Reading and writing 33-30 MB / s and no transfer errors. Thus it already beats any other USB2 adapter that I own.
Works so far at all USB2 devices, no problems with the media player of my Samsung TV.
USB 3.0 I can not test. However, the device transmits the SuperSpeed ​​logo, making it the highest transfer rate of 5Gb / s capable.
Installed is a ASMedia controllers ASM1051 certifies the highest on the internet speeds and good reliability.

In case no rubber feet are in the process that would have been for a hard drive enclosure attached but really!
The supplied 12V power supply makes a more significant impression than most cheap power supplies that are packed somewhere to. The measured voltage of 12.3 V is fully in order and within tolerance.

Also praiseworthy: firmware update can be found at Wintech on the website has to offer also plates to greater use 2TB.

Conclusion: no scrap, but inexpensive and useful quality.

Addendum:
The first housing really seemed to have a quirk (see comment). The second has no problems, not even with static electricity.
Since my new notebook USB3 support: The Hitachi drive makes it its full speed of up to 140MB / s. Burst loudly benchmark 150MB / s and thus probably the maximum speed of this housing or USB. 3
