What's in the box? * SABRENT EC-UASP Hard Drive Enclosure * USB 3.2 Cable Review: Does What It Says (ChromeOS review) - My Toshiba Satellite L-550 Pro laptop was ready for the e-waste shelf. I had the hard drive replaced back in 2015, so I wanted to take that out, as well as the RAM, before I dropped it at Curry's. Anyhow, the hard drive is the ol' Western Digital Black 500GB (WD5000LPLX). It has a 2.5-inch (Slim 7mm profile) form factor. The interface is SATA III. It is a little fiddly to get the drive in and slide it down, but once it clicks, you are confident it is inserted correctly. There is nothing to it. Remove the case top by sliding up and then lifting. Very easy to open. Plug in the included USB-A, turn it on, and it is plug and play. The Chromebox recognised the drive immediately. It was formatted into exFAT in less than a second. I did some file transfers and they were quick enough for me. I have no idea what speeds. I did transfer a couple gigs though. Now, I have a good external drive. The box says it is Windows and Mac compatible, but it works fine on a Chomebox, Chromebook whatever Chrome device you may have. Good, inexpensive purchase. Saves you from having to destroy a hard drive. The average person isn't capable of wiping it. Review: Great product - Best value for money, prompt delivery, perfect, fast and as described. Great way to render hard drive locked in your useless laptop as brand new external storage with this robust enclosure.

An External HD?** A: It is an enclosure that you mount an internal hard drive in to basically make it external. Once you mount the hard drive on it you can then use the usb to plug it in. **Q: Does this work with an SSD SATA III?** A: Yes. I purchased it to clone my laptop HDD to an 850 EVO 500 GB SSD SATA III http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-2-5-Inch-Internal-MZ-75E500B-AM/dp/B00OBRE5UE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1436897118&sr=8-1&keywords=samsung+ssd+850&pebp=1436897118987&perid=0KYJ973XR7E3QJP29AAR. After I installed the SSD into the laptop I use the Sabrent as a backup for the HDD I removed from the laptop. **Q: Is this enclosure made of plastic or metal (aluminum preferably) I don't think it says anywhere in the product description. Thanks in advance!** A: The case is plastic. Your laptop hard drive that you put into the plastic case is aluminum. The plastic case come with a USB cord to plug into another computer to access any stored files on the hard drive that you insert into the plastic case. The hard drive that you insert into the plastic case will also serve as an external hard drive. On the plastic case there is an on and off switch and a blue light that illuminates when turned on. VERY IMPORTANT: before you unplug it from your computer you must click on the icon and eject the device. You have to do that process with anything you plug into a computer. If you do not eject any device plugged into a computer you run the risk of erasing what is plugged into the computer. Also do not get any hard drive close to a magnet because the magnet will erase a hard drive **Q: This is for Sabrent, is this Item model number: EC-UASP, made of aluminum or plastic?** A: "Product Info.Material Plastic" https://www.sabrent.com/product/EC-UASP/2-5-inch-sata-usb-3-0-tool-free-external-hard-drive-enclosure-black/ ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does What It Says (ChromeOS review) *by P***H on 10 February 2026* My Toshiba Satellite L-550 Pro laptop was ready for the e-waste shelf.

Great way to render hard drive locked in your useless laptop as brand new external storage with this robust enclosure. Works without any difficulty and clear and easy steps to assemble. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great! *by R***. on 3 December 2023* I bought this to be able to connect an SSD to my Nintendo Wii, but I will likely be buying another one of these to use with another HDD or SSD to create a portable hard drive in the future. I've used Sabrent products before, and I've always been impressed with how intuitive their products are and how easy they are to use. In the box there are some instructions along with the enclosure and a USB 3.0 A male-to-male cable. The enclosure is designed for 2.5" inch drives, and it's quite straightforward to fit the drive inside the enclosure. While the enclosure is mostly plastic, it feels very well-made and would offer some protection to the drive inside. The speed of the enclosure is going to vary greatly depending on the drive you have inside it, along with the system you are connecting it to, but I got the levels of performance I expected during my usage with the enclosure having virtually no negative impact on speeds. Overall, this is a great, affordable enclosure that can be used for various tasks. I look forward to using the one I currently have more going forward, but I feel like I will be purchasing an additional one shortly. Update - July 2024: I ended up ordering another one for my PS5, as I had a 1TB SATA SSD lying around that I wanted to use with the console, as I was running out of storage. Similarly to last time, the enclosure is working exactly as expected and works well enough to store more modern games on it without any noticeable performance loss. As a general rule of thumb, these enclosures are only as good as what you put in them, as well as other limitations such as the device it’s connected to. Once again, I'm more than happy with the result. ## Frequently Bought Together - Daisy corsets womens Sleeveless Corset - SABRENT SATA to USB Cable - USB 3.0 to 2.5” SATA I/II/III Hard Drive Adapter - External Converter for SSD/HDD Data Transfer (EC-SSHD) - SSK Aluminum M.2 NVME SATA SSD Enclosure Adapter, USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) to NVME PCI-E SATA M-Key/(B+M) Key Solid State Drive External Enclosure Support UASP Trim for NVME/SATA SSDs 2242/2260/2280 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/47937987-2-5-inch-sata-to-usb-3-2-gen-1](https://www.desertcart.is/products/47937987-2-5-inch-sata-to-usb-3-2-gen-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-08-22*
