    External enclosure for SSD

    No mounting problems. Immediately recognised by Windows 7 and 11. Conforms to the technical description.

    Great!

    I bought this enclosure on the advice of a technician to integrate an external SSD drive. The adaptation is perfect, a few screws to extract to open the case and then it's good, especially since the connection cable is provided: impeccable.

    Perfect

    The box seems to be solid (we'll have to see over time) - No problems with installation (mechanical disk and Samsung SSD) and recognition by windows and raspbian.
    I'm ordering a second one!

    R.A.S.

    As the title suggests, nothing to report.
    I'm not giving it any stars.
    I've been using it for a while now and it's a great value for the money, which is why I'm not giving it a star.

    Junk

    That's it, it's all in the title.
    The speed is barely better than USB2, and even then only for large files, because with small files it's slower!
    Another regret is that the connector on the case is in mini USB format, so it's not standard for USB3; and there's one more cable to lug around!

    Perfect

    An external case that does the job, a little light in appearance but still ok. Used to put the old hard drive in. Works well on a dell 17r n7010 with windows 7. I also used it to temporarily connect the new SSD for data transfer.

    Easy to assemble

    Sober and efficient. The assembly is done intuitively (my boss put it together and fiddling is not his thing at all) and everything works.
    It remains to be seen if the "great value for money" label can be validated in the long run!
    In the meantime, for a recovery use of an old DD, it does the trick.
