You get what you pay for and that is a solid SSD/HDD Enclosure

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2018

****THIS IS AN UNBIASED REVIEW. I HAVE NOT BEEN PAID, COMPENSATED OR GIVEN THIS PRODUCT FOR FREE OR AT A DISCOUNT. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER OR THE SELLER. I HAVE BOUGHT THIS ITEM WITH MY OWN MONEY AT THE FULL PRICE****

Keep in mind my MBP has a keyboard cover and a 3M space gray Palm Mat on the Computer

I replaced my 2011 Macbook pro with my 2016 one. I really wanted to put the Crucial SSD that was in my 2011 Macbook Pro into an enclosure that was well built, looked nice, and had a USB-C connection (I'm converting all my stuff over to this lol). The main things I was looking for was BUILD QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, and AESTHETICS.

BUILD QUALITY:
+ Built very well
+ Looks to be made out of one solid Aluminum Piece
+ Cable is a USB 3.0 Cable (I measured the transfer speeds)
+ Cable is of good quality and seems to be made strong
+ Tray inside that holds the SSD/HDD sits inside the Aluminum case slightly, This slight gap is beneficial in drops because the aluminum protects the tray/area where you plug in your USB
+ No strange hardware, it is small phillips screws that you can you an eyeglass repair kit to open and close
+ COMES WITH SCREWDRIVER!
- No silicone/ rubber grips on bottom of drive, (I will add some to mine later)
-Tray that holds HDD/SSD is slightly and I mean very very slightly shaky (I may have not tighten the screws enough)

PERFORMANCE: SSD,HDD (I know enclosures usually don't effect performance but others who are wondering about this take a look)
+ SSD Speeds were 350/400 write and read
+ HDD speeds were 35/40ish
+ USB Cable is a 3.0 Cable (Keep in mind you must have a device that is USB 3.0 Compatible)
+ Doesn't act up or short out at all.

AESTHETICS:
+ Space Grey/Gray is pretty close to the Macbook Pro Space Grey color. I'd say its closer to the 6/6s Space Grey.
+ Being built out of one piece of aluminum makes it look very sleek.
+ Logo placement IMO is perfect (Discreet but noticeable)
+ Small LED light shines blue when device is connected
+ USB-C connection is placed in the middle of the tray (looks very clean)

Great performance, great price, good looks - A definite BUY

Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2017

This housing is just what I needed in my transition to USB-C. The case in nice anodized aluminum, though as others have pointed out, the edges are unfinished. Mine had no sharp corners and looks quite nice on my desk. Installation took a couple of minutes. All of this wouldn't matter if performance wasn't good, and my results have been spectacular. I ran disk speed test with my OWC SSD mounted in my iMac versus mounted in the Satechi external USB-C housing. The results were nearly identical. A very strong BUY recommendation.

When I upgraded to my new 15" Macbook Pro I had to remove one of the hard drives from my old MBP. Since the new computer only has USB C connections I purchased this enclosure so that I could still use that hard drive and hopefully be able to have decent transfer rates since this is rated for USB C 3.1 speeds. Installation of the old drive took all of 30 seconds and I was up and running. It's worked flawlessly and while I haven't tested the transfer speeds it's definitely reading/writing fast enough for my needs. This enclosure is a nice, low cost way to add additional storage to a USB C based machine.

Easy to use, though the two screws are super tiny - they do include a tiny screwdriver. Good fit and finish, with a one piece aluminum shell. I used with a Samsung 840 SATA III SSD, connected to an Intel® NUC Kit NUC6i7KYK. I haven't benchmarked that yet, but it seemed fast to boot from. Satechi: The two screws could have been bigger, and so been easier to work with. As it is, they are visibly countersunk into the aluminum case.

Great enclosure, the cable is holding it back from being 5 stars!

Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2016

Verified Purchase

This drive does deliver its promised 10GBs speeds as long as you have a good and reliable SSD inside. I've been using this drive for over a month now and I am very happy with its performance. The only reason why I don't give this enclosure the full 5 star rating is because the USB Type C wire that comes with the drive isn't really "USB Type C". In the beginning my drive would constantly disconnect from the pc at random times while I was in the middle of editing a picture or video for a client. Which of course you all know that's the last thing you want to happen but hey I back up my data constantly and I am always afraid of complete data lost so I have redundancy plans to prevent total data loss.

Back to the discussion at hand, I contacted the company and explained the issue I was encountering with the drive and without any issues they sent me a replacement drive. Then the issue continued and at that point I thought dammit I just got another bad enclosure. So I did a little bit more research and started using different cables. So I both a USB Type C from Plugable which is thunderbolt 3 certified and guess what? it worked!! The drive doesn't cut out or disconnect. It's reliable fast and works for my needs.

I am able to edit pictures and videos directly from my external drive without any lag. So 4 stars because it's an amazing fast drive but it's just missing that cable that will make it reliable. Sucks that I paid $30 for the drive then another $30 for the cable but hey the drive is working and it's blazing fast.

That's my only recommendation to the company, change the cable to a thunderbolt 3 certified cable and the drive works amazingly! hope this helps anyone looking to purchase this drive.

I put a 2tb ssd into this enclosure and it works great. It’s light weight solid/strong aluminum. I’m impressed with the durability and I love the compact size as it’s easy to travel with in my laptop case. With a ssd drive inside it’s extremely fast and I can edit raw 4k video on it with no slow downs.

Ce boîtier pour disque dur est tout simplement excellent, robuste et de très bonne qualité grâce à l’aluminium. Ce boîtier apporte d’excellents taux de transfert vers mon MacBook Pro 2018 branché en USB-C grâce au câble fourni.
