Great aluminum enclosure! Drive is easily installed and the aluminum makes a very good heat sink. I now own 4 of these.

I used this to house the 2.5 hard disk from a dead MacBook laptop. After removing the mounting hardware from the drive it fit this enclosure. Although the older Mac Mini I’m using has no USB 3.0 ports, the enclosure is backwards compatible with the older USB ports. The MacBook drive works well as an external drive.

Had no errors and impressively good performance doing partition clones using CloneZilla. Saw effective speeds exceeding 3 MBPS on large transfers from local SATA 3 disk to SSD and or SATA 3 HDD in this enclosure. Transfers were 150 MB to 980 MB.

I’ve been running VM’s from noname USB-3 drives, with indifferent results. I finally decided to get a capable USB-3 enclosure and the Startech fills the bill. I’m seeing much better response times from the virtual machines I need to run.
