Compact case
the hard drive is extremely well protected and the USB3 connector allows for excellent plugging.
The case is suitable for 15mm thick disks, especially for a Western Digital WD Green 2.5" disk.

Not compatible with seagate barracuda 3TB
This enclosure is not compatible with the Seagate Barracuda 3to ST3000LM024, so don't trust the previous comment. But I don't think there are many compatible enclosures, because this is the third one I've tried and the drive doesn't work with it. It works well with the connector of an old case in which it does not fit ...

Does not work with all discs
Product bought for a 2TB Sata DELL drive in 15mm thickness.
Too bad, doesn't work at all with this drive, but it does work with a 7mm Western Digital (not too interesting.) and my 15mm drive works on Sata or in other enclosures. I even tried with a double USB cable. Too bad. fortunately it's not very expensive.Review automatically translated -

A correct article
This ICI BOX is simple, effective and affordable. With its USB 3.0 port and a light that tells you that it is powered. This L.E.D. flashes when the drive is active. This case has a write protect switch to prevent accidental data loss. The only regret is that the connection cable to the PC is a bit short. This means that it will cost extra to buy a longer one.

A very good product
Before buying a Seagate BarraCuda 3Tb (ST3000LM024) with a height of 15mm I had to look for a case which is complicated because the search filters do not exist. I have
Advance Mobility Disk S8 for seagate 2,5 which I am very satisfied I did not find in this brand. The only difference between these two cases is the external height. The connector of the different ICY seems more resistant. It is shorter, which I find more practical except if you connect several to the PC. I was hesitant to install the hard drive because it is not connected by sliding it horizontally, but at an angle, and to remove it, no problem, but it would be better not to do it too often because the system works on the flexibility of the connectors.
The plus point, not mentioned in the product description, is a protective rubber cover that can be slipped over the case. The big advantage is that it does not slip on a table. The description indicates "write protection" indeed a small button that can be manipulated with the fingernail to prevent deletion or addition of files. In the end I would say that this is a very good product at the right price, no more expensive than the 1Tetra or 2Tetra disks of 7 mm height. Very rare technological evolution which does not manifest itself by an overcost.Review automatically translated
