Top-rated products in the Hard drive enclosures category
Here's a ranking of the top rated products in this category. To give you a quick overview, we've also added some key information about the products.
1. Icy Box IB-1817M-C31
With the IB-1817M-C31 external USB 3.1 Type-C enclosure, an NVMe SSD can be quickly and easily carried along. It allows access to M.2 disks of up to 2 TB no matter which host computer it is connected to. The integrated cooling plate transfers the resulting waste heat from the SSD to the housing and thus optimally cools the SSD. This prevents the usual premature reduction of the transmission rate to protect against overheating.
2. i-tec MySafe USB 3.0 Easy
The Advance Series represents our premium accessory products. These combine cutting-edge technology with innovative design and exclusive packaging.
The i-tec MySafe USB 3.0 Easy is an external enclosure for connecting 2.5" SATA hard drives of all capacities to your PC, laptop, TV, or other multimedia devices via the USB interface, which also provides power to the device. The enclosure is also suitable for data transfer from damaged laptops. The USB 3.0 connection offers fast and easy data transfer speeds of up to 5 Gbps. Of course, it is backward compatible with USB 2.0.
Operation is very simple: the hard drive just needs to be inserted into the enclosure, and upon first connection to the computer, the drivers are automatically installed. For a quick hard drive connection, you can use only the standalone adapter of the external enclosure, or the hard drive can be transported in the included plastic box.
3. Icy Box Ib-183m2
The IB-183M2 is a particularly compact SSD enclosure for an M.2 SSD. This allows you to install the small drives into an external case and take them anywhere. The USB 3.0 connection also ensures a particularly high transfer rate, so the SSD won't be left waiting.
