Using it for file transfers between Mac's & PCs. Nice build quality and having the permanent USB-C cable attached is a useful touch. Having purchased a number of cheaper drive cases with mixed results, I can say it's worthwhile to spend a little bit more on the Ineo. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ well worth the price, which was very reasonable *by L***D on Reviewed in Canada on 9 August 2020* used to clone my drive , worked just great ### ⭐⭐⭐ Customer Service issues *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on 2 August 2018* REVISED ReviewOut of the box the unit did not work as instructed. It came with instructions that essentially said plug in the drive, close the unit, and plug in the computer. Windows did not recognize the HHD (hard disk) in the enclosure. When I called the phone number on the box (the only place listed) for ineo it just rang and rang, then finally went to voicemail. I tried multiple days... weekdays. No calls were ever returned. Zero customer service. Then I wrote a 1 star review and suddenly I start getting emails.The issue was diagnosed by technicians I work with (not ineo) which had to do with cloning my HDD to a SSD, which also cloned an identical disk ID. Windows needed this ID changed to load the HDD in the enclosure. I had multiple emails with this company helping them to understand the issue. They now seem to understand the issue and they should be able to assist other customers if this issue effects them.This company ask me to revise my original 1 star review, so I am. I bring this now to three stars. I give this three stars for the following reasons:1) Customer Service. They told me that the reason they did not return my calls was that their colleague was out of the office for a few days. They never returned my calls. They only contacted me through Amazon email after my 1 star review. So, my customer service assessment is still 1 star. The company appears to be just a few people marketing an imported product.2) Tech Support. I had to have multiple emails with them to explain the issue and how my technicians and I diagnosed the problem ourselves. Additionally, it took more emails to get them to understand the fix. To their credit, they finally got it and they claim they have found an easy fix through Windows utilities to address the problem without resorting to a CMD prompt. So, if you have a problem with their unit regarding a cloned hard drive, they should be able to walk you through fixing it. Tech support 2 stars.3) Engineering. This unit seems to be very well made and works well, after proper configuration. Looks like it will be a safe and durable unit. The cable does not look replaceable, so that may be an issue later on. Four stars.4) Documentation. Zero user manual or pointers to online help. 1 starBottom line: I give the ineo company, their customer service, and their product an overall 3 star rating. If you have a non-cloned disk drive, it should work out-of-the-box. If you don't, good luck if you are not technical. ## Frequently Bought Together - ineo 2.5" USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C Rugged Waterproof & Shockproof External Hard Drive Enclosure for 9.5mm & 7mm SATA HDD/SSD [C2580] - BENFEI 2.5 Inch SATA to USB Tool Free External Hard Drive Enclosure, USB Type-C/Type-A to Sata Compatible for 2.5 Inch SSD(Optimized for SSD, Support UASP SATA III) - SP Silicon Power 4TB SSD 3D NAND A55 SLC Cache Performance Boost SATA III 2.5'' 7mm (0.28'') Internal Solid State Drive (SP004TBSS3A55S25) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/266246048-ineo-2-5-usb-3-1-gen2-type-c-rugged](https://www.desertcart.is/products/266246048-ineo-2-5-usb-3-1-gen2-type-c-rugged) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
