As mentioned, the product works with the 2 drive formats: it is practical for occasional use, less practical for permanent use such as playing a game installed on the external drive (as mentioned in other comments, the stability of the hard drives in the equipment is uncertain).
The plastic of the case is fairly low-quality and seems fragile on the hinges. The system is clever, however, and makes it easy to plug in the hard drive.
NUL, plastic bric-a-brac...............................................................................
Solid case and accepts both 2.5 and 3.5 inch discs.
Nothing else to say, really does the job.
Enclosure used with a Seagate BarraCuda 4Tb (ST4000DM004) 3.5" drive.
No problem with installation or use.
This enclosure is a combination of:
- a transparent semi-rigid plastic box.
- a sata to USB 3 adapter.
- a transformer to power the adapter.
And that's all. This is more than enough for me: use: occasional backup on external disk.
You don't have a way to fix the drive inside, so it floats a bit, especially for a 2.5 inch (I used pieces of plug).
The transformer also requires an electrical outlet but allows, I suppose, to run a disk whatever the power consumption.
The only defect in my eyes, the power supply cable is a little short (50cm?). In my case, this was not a problem because I have a power strip nearby, but I don't find it very practical.
