Very good advice from LDLC, not only on the DD case purchased but also on peripheral questions concerning increasing memory on an old PC tower.

Does not work with USB3
I should have read the reviews... As two other buyers have found, this box only works in USB2. In USB3 the drive keeps connecting/disconnecting. Tested on two different computers.
In short, do not buy!

Removable hard drive troubleshooting.
Congratulations on the welcome, I went once again to this Company following a malfunction of one of my removable hard drives.
The technician who received me was already busy on a Pc but kindly took care of me to solve my problem. He could have told me "I'll keep the drive for diagnosis, come back tomorrow".
That was not the case and after analysis I left with my drive viable again.
Thank you for the welcome and the availability!!
I will come back to leave a gift as a token of thanks in a few daysReview automatically translated -

Mixed reviews
At the end of December, I ordered a 4TB external hard drive and a case to install it in, after consulting one of your technicians in July 2025 (I was unable to order earlier, as I had to postpone my purchase for budgetary reasons). I chose the enclosure he recommended, and for the hard drive, I chose a 4TB equivalent because the one he recommended was no longer available. I have just realised that the enclosure does not support hard drives larger than 2TB. This means I cannot take advantage of the 4TB capacity of the hard drive.
Nevertheless, the shipment was quick after I placed the order.Review automatically translated -

Good services and product offerings.
The service and advice provided by the shop assistant were helpful, despite the fact that the waiting time was a little long due to the small number of staff in the shop.

Decevant
An unreliable case, the hard drive inserted into it was recognised 1 time out of 2 by my PC (MSI Gaming Wifi pro motherboard) and works very well in another tower connected in SATA3.

Seems more solid than models from 10 years ago.
I bought this rack to replace one of the same brand which, after a few drops of the disk, worked too randomly.
On my 2 old models, the SATA connector and the disk power supply are soldered to the electronic board, but a little play is possible. On the model I received, these connectors are rigidly fixed to the board, so there is less risk of the contacts being damaged in the long term.
I'd like to point out that I use these racks with different hard disks, so I don't use the cover. So far, the new rack is working fine.Review automatically translated -

My 3'5" hard drive wouldn't fit in the tower, so I used this box, which works very well. The hard drive is connected via USB3, there's an independent power supply and an on/off button on the box.

perfect
I'm happy with the case. A small screwdriver is provided, screws are included, rails to guide the hard drive and most importantly, an on/off button so that the hard drive is not spinning all the time.
Now, this case, like all of them for this price, do not offer a cooler for the hard drive. I had to dismantle one end of the case to let some heat escape. I put in an old 1TB drive where I discarded 4 bad clusters. But at the rate it's heating up, enclosed in the case, it will soon give up the ghost.
On the other hand, bad point for LDLC which continues not to get boxes in relation to the contents. Having large boxes for three times nothing inside, that forces to go to seek the parcel to the Post office rather than to have it in the letter box!Review automatically translated
