Good external enclosure, but the height is just right for the thickest laptop hard drives.
The product is of good quality thanks to its metal casing, but has two major defects:
- The USB 3.0 cable is too short (40 cm)
- The USB 3.0 connector on the case side is very fragile. After a few weeks of use, it is already broken. A USB Type-C connector would be better, especially at this price.
It is exactly the same (reference) as the old LDLC case.
Quick and easy disk assembly, about 2 minutes with 2 left hands.
4 screws to hold the disc, 1 extra in case.
2 screws to close the case, 1 extra in case.
The disc is well held in place, nothing moves.
Minimum space requirement, hardly bigger than my wallet.
The box is very easy to use. In addition, it is very fast for data transfer. I can only recommend it.
