Very good.
To recondition a 2.5" HDD into a portable HDD, this box does the job well.
However, the screws seem "light" to me.

nice hull but bad product
The screws supplied are too short to reach the chassis. What's more, the chassis is made of very poor quality plastic. It's a shame, because the metal casing looks solid.

Simple and effective
On receipt, the box was in place in 5 minutes.
No need for instructions. Installation is very intuitive. All you have to do is screw it in two places and plug it in.Review automatically translated -

Very good little box
Beautiful finish. Comes with a small screwdriver and two extra for clumsy people like me.
Works very well. I'm happy with the performance, having used it to turn a 250 GB SSD into a backup.Review automatically translated -

Wrong equipment
Very bad equipment! I tested several hard drives and :
- a 1 TB drive not recognised
- a 2TB drive recognised, but the hardware spent all its time connecting / reconnecting when reading from the HDD
I wouldn't recommend this equipment!Review automatically translated -

This box suits me perfectly.
Very easy to use. The colour was just what I was looking for. The delivery was quick.

Correct, a bit expensive compared to the same ones sold on aliexpress
but the charges and taxes in France explain the price difference, otherwise the box is well made

Beautiful, but that's it. Let's hope it will be reliable in use.
If the external aluminium shell is very nice and solid, the hard disk support itself is in a not very rigid plastic.
The whole thing is closed by 2 micro-screws (wood thread type) screwed into this plastic: not at all made to remove / put back several times a hard disk in the case.
I would have preferred 2 mechanical screws to secure the case to the hard drive. For a thin disk, it is especially the fitting in the electronic card which prevents the disk from moving around in the case: not great.
To top it all off, it took 2 exchanges of the product to finally get a USB cable that works (the first 2 worked in USB 3.0, but not in USB 2.0, which was a malfunction, USB 3.0 being backwards compatible).
Maybe you can't get better for the price ...Review automatically translated -

Heden box
Good box, relatively resistant and without connection problems. It diffuses heat well and is well made.
It's a pity that the screws to close it are missing!Review automatically translated -

Highly recommended for one-time conversion from internal to external disk
The pros: Compact, easy to assemble, lightweight, pretty sleek, feels solid.The cons: Requires a screwdriver, somewhat cheap construction -- the plastics aren't the most premium, and the screw threads didn't line up perfectly on mine. The -: Requires a screwdriver, slightly cheap construction -- the plastics are not the most premium, and the screw threads were not perfectly aligned on mine, but this was not a problem, the screw did dent the plastic a bit, but it is not noticeable when mounted.Highly recommended for a one-off internal to external drive conversion -- in this case the product's shortcomings are hardly felt and are worth the few euros saved over the higher end options. If you are likely to change the drive inside regularly, I'd recommend something that doesn't require tools and is manufactured with sufficient precision not to be damaged by successive assembly and disassembly.

Good product
I could say discreet.
I'd give it 5 stars if it wasn't for the blue LED that shines all over the place.
A little discretion !Review automatically translated -

Good value for money
Nice case, easy to assemble. Quality is good for the price, no functional concerns. Not the strongest in the world, and one of the screw threads is not perfectly moulded. This was not a problem, these are simply indicators of a cheap manufacture. Comes with the necessary screwdriver for assembly, which may be a positive for those who don't have a tiny screwdriver, or a negative for those who already have countless of them lying around in drawers.

Product with a good price/quality ratio.
Similar quality product to its 'competitors' for the price.
If you value the look, you SHOULD not be disappointed.Review automatically translated -

Good enclosure for 2.5" hard disk
I have been used to using ICY BOXes which are robust and have very good read and write rates (USB 3 out and in, SATA 6Gb/s (SATA 3)). Based on good reviews of this Heden box, I decided to order it. It's a good solid aluminium case for the outside, inside there is a docking card with connectors. This card is made of plastic. The hard drive is well seated and does not move. Once the disk is installed, all that remains is to close the case with the two screws (screw driver supplied). The USB 3 cable is long enough to be connected to a laptop or a tower with USB on the front. The drive is recognized without problems on Windows 10 64bits (no need to go looking for drivers etc). Data transfer rates are good. Access to the drive is fast. I use this case as a backup for a recent 1TB Samsung SSD in my laptop. In my Heden case there is a 1TB 2.5 9mm hard drive. I recommend this case.
