Thanks to the simple and fast installation with Plug & Play and the USB 3.1 port, the hard drive enclosure is ready to use in no time. Connect the hard drive via USB 3.1 Generation II and achieve data transfer rates of up to 10Gbps. Stand-up and horizontal operation possible Easy hard drive installation An impressive appearance The ergonomic rounded edges and the elegant black brushed aluminium give the FANTEC DB-ALU31A a distinctive look. It does not matter whether you prefer the case standing upright or lying flat on the table, it looks elegant and timeless in any environment. Easy and quick installation of hard drives Change the hard drive in a few simple steps. You have the choice, quickly and flexibly with the included screwless click system for the hard disk or classically with the help of four enclosed extra screws, with which the hard drive can be firmly screwed into the frame. USB 3.1 Generation II Experience the highest speed thanks to USB 3.1 Generation II support. Backup large data or retrieve it at up to 10 Gbit per second in high speed. The FANTEC DB-ALU31A now stops long data transfers. See for yourself. Optimised cooling thanks to passive heat release The robust aluminium housing not only looks extremely good, it also has another function. It absorbs the heat of the hard drive inside and releases it back to the environment via the external walls, so that the hard drive remains significantly cooler and the service life is extended. Review: OK but a bit fragile - The first one was DOA but desertcart was outstanding with a no-quibble replacement. The confidence that inspired made me get a Prime membership. The second box works but the connector feels flimsy and you have to be very careful when switching drives. It will work with 2.5" drives but they seems lost and flop about inside. In my opinion this Fantec box is best suited for installing a 3.5" drive once and never switching. If you want to use one box and switch several drives in and out I would look elsewhere for a more robust solution. Review: Alles top - Ich habe Bewertungen gelesen, dass Einbaumaße nicht passen. Konnte ich nicht feststellen. Mechanisch alles OK und Übertragungswerte bei Copy auch.

Konnte ich nicht feststellen. Mechanisch alles OK und Übertragungswerte bei Copy auch. Bin sehr zufrieden! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ottimo! *by S***O on 10 October 2021* Ne ho presi due, dentro ci ho messo due seagate exos x18 ST18000NM000J da 18TB a scopo di backup. Con la USB3 copia i file molto velocemente, a circa 300MB/s. Unica pecca i cavi corti, sia alimentazione che USB3, si sono sprecati... Per il resto tutto ok. AGGIORNAMENTO Dopo neanche 10 ore di utilizzo l'alimentatore cinese di uno dei due è letteralmente esploso, il box esterno funziona ancora e l'hard disk dentro anche, ma è esploso proprio mentre stava copiando dei file, e questa cosa mi da molto fastidio, è inaccettabile che vendano roba con alimentatori cinesi che esplodono. Ora scrivo una mail direttamente a FANTEC. AGGIORNAMENTO 2 Contattata FANTEC, mi hanno mandato un'unità nuova senza neanche volere indietro quella difettosa. Supporto mica male, rimetto le stelle, ma devono seriamente rivedere la qualità dei power supply cinesi che mettono in bundle. --- ## 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.tn/products/141986014-fantec-db-alu31a-external-hard-drive-enclosure-for-3-5](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/141986014-fantec-db-alu31a-external-hard-drive-enclosure-for-3-5) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-16*
