Here are some of my thoughts: Pros: -Quality. The enclosure is made of metal, with plastic ends. Because of how warm 3.5" hard drives could get, I feared that purchasing a plastic enclosure would not withstand the heat of the drive. I'm glad to say that this enclosure does the job well, while also having a solid build quality. The metal sort of acts as a heatsink, so it will get warm to the touch during operation. Nothing about the enclosure feels cheap or flimsy. -Simplicity. It was very simple to get my old hard drives up and running. The product comes with everything you need to get started, even a screwdriver! It's as simple as plugging in the hard drive into the SATA connector, screwing it to the frame, sliding it back into the enclosure, and tightening the whole thing up. -Price. For a few dollars more than plastic enclosures, I thought $25 for a metal one is a reasonable price, especially considering the benefits of a more durable metal enclosure. -Compatibility. So far, this has worked in a multitude of my PCs without a hitch. Cons: -Power brick. This is a bit of a nitpick on my end, but to me, the included power supply is a bit large. I would have liked a smaller power supply, but I cannot complain. Overall, this is an excellent hard drive enclosure that could help you make old hard drives useful again. One more note, if you install a new hard drive into the enclosure, be sure to open "Disk Management" in Windows or "Disk Utility" in macOS and ensure that the drive is initialized and formatted before use. Otherwise, the drive will not function. I hope my review has helped you out! Review: One of the best 3.5 HDD enclosures period. - Following from my previous review of the Inateck 2.5 inch HDD enclosure, I think inateck has done it again with their larger size 3.5' one. Build quality is fantastic with a brushed aluminium exterior and plastic panels on front and back for I/O. Two leds (one green and blue) indicate activity and power are a nice touch albeit low brightness. Overall, this is your standard Anker/ ORICO type quality of aluminium with nice edges and anodizing. The aluminum is thick; despite the propensity for metal to transmit vibration, both 2.5 and 3.5' hard-drives had minimal buzz when in operation. Quality aside, I can CONFIRM that the chip being used is the Asmedia 1053e, which, in my opinion, for USB 3.0, is still one of the best chips available. Compared to the 1051 and JMicron an using a travelstar 7k1000, the 1053e on the intateck performed the best, with over 15mbps on the write and 23 on the read. These aren't insignificant numbers, and given that all of the enclosures I tried were powered, shows the superiority of the chip. Also, just to note, the supplied Type B cable is also pretty thick and I was impressed by the spare screws and single set of feet that were included. So overall, this is another knockout product from inateck. With better build and less issues than its 2.5 brethren, and a low price in general, I recommend this to anybody who wants to upcycle a harddrive or replace a cracked or broken external HDD. I could see this as suitable for security or test bench usage as well; though do note that the air vents are quite small and so prolonged use may not be the best. Now while some of you people out there may say that i'm too positive or haven't seen the world of high end enclosures, you're wrong. I specifically had this sent to a PO box in NY (so no, this was not a paid review) before I brought this back to Asia , where ORICO and many others are widely avaliable. Certainty, yes- this chip can be found in some thermaltake cases, stock sata bridges and in the basic (I believe S3 model) of ORICO's enclosure lineup, but I think inateck delivers superb (and I will update this should my experiences change) value. I have also tried mediasonic, vantec (1053e 2.5), and OWC enclosures before. ## Features - 1.

This works if you need to boot the os for a raspberry pi from an external sata ssd. I tried ugreen and sabrent and all of them imaged fine but failed to actually boot.
