Fast USB 3.0 transfers

Packaging rates the USB 3.0 cable at 5Gbps and the USB 3.1 Gen2 cable at 6Gbps. UASP support adds to that speed, so large copies move far faster than they would over a legacy USB 2.0 enclosure.

Questions and answers

Does it fit my 2.5-inch SATA hard drive or SSD?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes. The enclosure takes 2.5-inch SATA hard drives and SSDs. The side of the case is printed with SATA 2.5 INCH Hard Drive Enclosure, so you can confirm the format before inserting a drive. Other drive sizes do not fit.

Will I get 5-6Gbps speeds on my computer?
w
Wanelo · seller

The packaging rates the USB 3.0 cable at 5Gbps and the USB 3.1 Gen2 cable at 6Gbps. Reaching those rates takes a USB 3.0 or newer port on your computer. On a USB 2.0 port, transfers will run far below these figures.

Do I need a USB 3.0 port to get the full speed?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes. The rated speeds depend on a USB 3.0 or newer port. A USB 2.0 port works, but it caps the speed well below the 5Gbps rating.

Is it worth it compared to a ready-made external drive?
w
Wanelo · seller

If you already own a 2.5-inch drive, you only pay for the enclosure. A ready-made external drive means paying for new storage you may not need. This setup puts the spare drive back to work and saves the cost of a second drive.

Is the cable permanently attached?
w
Wanelo · seller

It depends on the variant. The USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 Gen2 listings are non-detachable cables. The Micro-B USB 3.0 variant has a detachable cable. Check the variant before you buy if you need a removable cable.
