Update:
Ok, assembled 4 of these so far. I did read that one person had problems with the circuit board touching the aluminum case. When you attach the drive, and insert it into the case, try both ways, flip it around, i always found that it fit better one way rather then other for whatever reason, but they all assembled fine. None of mine touched the case, BUT, if the 2 screws get loose, i can see the small soldered ends possibly can touch. So what i did, was the cases come packed with like this black foam, i cut just a super thin layer of it, to cover the ends and just shoved it on top, i'll see if i can take a pic and post it, but it's just the foam, i just pushed it on there, super thin layer lol. So far though, i have one on my ps4 pro, i have one on my network router, i'm using one as a small backup for my laptop, these are great so far. using 3 2.5" drives, 2 standard, 1 ssd, 1 hybrid, they all work fine.
Build/Quality: 10/10, 5 stars, can't get better. The brushed aluminum feel is incredible in the hand, has held up well to scratches, and looks great. The hard drive is plugged into a SATA to female USB adapter, which is locked into the enclosure by 2 screws. The hard drive is a snug but appropriate fit, so I know my hard drive is safe and protected inside. You could never tell that this was an enclosure.
Functionality: 10/10, again, this was so easy to install (and oddly satisfying). The speed of this drive is dependent on the actual hard drive (this is, again, just an enclosure), but from the case's end, you will NOT be limited. The connection is USB 3.0 and SATA III, so you will get the max speed of any drive you put in it. It works well even with the slow, cheap 5400 RPM drive I installed.
Again, if you retire a laptop, or upgrade to a larger or faster HDD/SSD, please don't waste you old hard drive. Use this enclosure, and give it a new life as a portable hard drive! Depending on your hard drive, you will end up with a product just as good if not better than more expensive portable drives you buy off the shelf.
the performance of the enclosure is as expected, which is to say good enough for almost any use case. sequential read and write speeds topped out at 257.5 and 237.8 MBps respectively (crystaldiskmark snapshot attatched), which is more than fast enough if you plan to be using it with a standard mechanical drive, but not fast enough if you plan on installing an SSD and need the full speed of the SSD. the drive wast tested with a samsung 840 evo 120gb, which has been tested to have around 500MBps read and write speeds when connected through SATA III, so it seems that this enclosure is only SATA II compliant, which is in line with the product description.
the place where this enclosure really hits it out of the park is value. what you get is an attractive looking enclosure that is plenty fast for file transfers unless you are putting a SSD in it and NEED SATA III speeds. the build quality of the enclosure is a bit of a let down, but for the cost of only a few cups of coffee, I can't help but recommend it.
