It did everything it claims to do easily. The fit and finish here is excellent; drives snapped right into place, regardless of size, there were no rough edges, and it was easy to pull apart and put back together, and my older files popped up right away. No issues at all. Great for the price. Review: Quality product, No Write Block. Great for average use! - I've had mine for almost 2 months and have used it several times. Quality is what I expected, brushed metal finish with good accurate machine cuts all around. The cables it comes with are solid and it's nice to have the complimentary philips head and 4 screws to secure your drive if need be. Bridge is great too, I don't have testing data but it has worked great with 3 different HDD's at different speeds (5200 RPM). Would absolutely recommend. P.S: The one single thing I wish this unit or a more expensive variation of this unit would have is a built-in Write Blocking Feature. I think we're at the point in time where an additional $30-50 dollars for a switch that performs the function could be added. I own a similar product with an effective Write Blocker but doesn't have an enclosure, I made my choice between the safety of the drive and integrity of the data. Hard Call! ## Features - SATA-Only Compatibility: Fits 2.5" and 3.5" SATA HDDs and SSDs. NOT compatible with SAS, M.2 NVMe, M.2 SATA, NVMe PCIe, or IDE/PATA drives.

Yes, this will work fine for backing up your drives. The drive type for your internal drive doesn't matter unless you were planning to remove it and plug it into the external bay (you don't need to do that). As long as your internal drive is readable by your system, that's all you need for this to work. Buy a NEW drive for your backup that will fit into the external bay (SATA, or M.2 if you purchased that version), then copy the data from your internal disk to the external disk. You will then have your backup. Note that while the details specifies that it can support up to 20tb drives, it really only appears to be able to support up to 16tb drives (at least the original one without the M.2 slot). If you are stuck with your system only reading up to 2TB's of disk space, but you have a larger drive, that means you used the wrong partition style (MBR), for larger than 2TB capacity drives you need to use the (GPT) partition style. **Q: Is the power supply universal (110-240V) ?** A: 12v ps. Provided...do not use 12v supply with 5v drives. Some drives are ranged 5v to 12v . Some just say 5v. **Q: Will this product support a 6TB?** A: You will probably have to jump through hoops to do so. I tried to run in the firmware and kept getting an error. Contacted support and they wanted me to go through some 20 step process to do so and use a file not from their website. Nobody could explain to me why it wouldn't update with the firmware file on their website that had my product specifically listed. In the end I opted not to do it and went with a different product that natively / out of box supported 6TB and larger **Q: Is it safe to use this for media files and run 24/7?** A: Absolutely. I have had mine connected to my PC for 2 months 24/7, and it runs just like an internal Sata HDD. Have a good one! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Value *by E***S on September 29, 2026* I was very impressed with this little box. It did everything it claims to do easily.

Hard Call! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Supports 28TB, SMART (in some cases) and has OK heat dissipation *by S***. on June 29, 2026* I am using this enclosure with a 28TB Seagate Exos SATA HDD. No issues with the capacity, I set up the drive using Minitool Partition Wizard as GPT, NTFS, a single 28TB partition, used with a Windows 11 PC. Installation was easy. The case opens by pressing the large button, the drive inserts easily and the provided screws and screwdriver keep it secure. Note: this button serves as the power and activity light. The actual power is a switch on the back. SMART data is accessible via CrystalDiskInfo. Seagate's Seatools will not detect the drive in this enclosure. Therefore the disclaimer in the product description that SMART is not supported is partially true. It depends on the application trying to access the data. I am using the 28TB drive for backups. It is not intended to run 24 / 7. The temperature on the drive after several hours use is 53C. This is within spec for the drive which maxes at 60C. For comparison, a 10TB Lacie D2 Professional, a 16TB Lacie D2 Professional and an 18TB Iron Wolf in a similar enclosure from another vendor are all also hitting 53C after hours of use. Therefore, the heat dissipation is no better or worse than these fanless alternatives. Overall the performance is fine after two weeks of use. Given the price of a new Lacie D2 Professional and the design of the various plastic housing external drives, this enclosure is well suited to a bring your own drive situation. ## Frequently Bought Together - SABRENT USB 3.0 Tool Free Enclosure for 2.5” and 3.5” Internal SATA Hard Drives (EC-KSL3) - SABRENT 2.5 Inch SATA to USB 3.0 Tool Free External Hard Drive Enclosure [Optimized for SSD, Support UASP SATA III] Black (EC-UASP) - SABRENT USB 3.2 10Gbps Type C Tool Free Enclosure for M.2 PCIe NVMe and SATA SSDs (EC-SNVE) --- ## 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.ae/products/244814031-sabrent-usb-3-0-hard-drive-enclosure-2-5-3](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/244814031-sabrent-usb-3-0-hard-drive-enclosure-2-5-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-10-13*
