Product description

1. Before using this product, you must confirm your hard disk is not encrypted, otherwise it will not be recognized when the hard disk box is connected to the computer!

2. If the previous operating system of your hard disk is MAC OS, use the hard disk box to connect to the computer of the WINDOWS system, and open "My Computer", the disk partition can not be seen,enter the disk manager to re-partition and format then can be used normally!

3. When using a mobile hard disk box, please do not connect the front USB port of the desktop, nor the USB port on the motherboard close to the keyboard or mouse port, because it is used for low-power devices such as USB flash drives and keyboards, which cannot be mobile The power requirements of the hard disk.

4. If the nominal current of your hard disk is greater than or equal to 1.7A (find it on the label of the hard disk), we recommend you use a HUB with external power supply to use the mobile hard disk, because the maximum power supply capacity of the USB 3.0 interface is 1A. The high current demand of the hard disk, the high power consumption, and the USB interface can not meet the power requirements, it will cause the mobile hard disk to be unable to recognize, or to recognize and cannot read and write data, or the mobile hard disk to disconnect from the computer.

5. If the mobile hard disk cannot be recognized when connected to USB 3.0 or can be recognized but does not work normally, you can try to connect to the USB 2.0 interface to reduce speed and power consumption. But this is not a panacea, some can be used to reduce power consumption, and some can not be reduced.

6. Do not move the mobile hard disk box randomly during use, otherwise it will cause data damage or loss of your hard disk firmware, and the hard disk will be completely scrapped! Please remove the data cable from the mobile hard disk box when the mobile hard disk is not in use, otherwise the USB interface may be damaged.

• Only Support 7+17 PIN（or 8+18 PIN)2012 Version MacBook Air A1465 A1466, MD223 MD224.
• NOT fit 12+16pin.(If you are not sure,send us the specific model and picture before purchasing to confirm whether it fits.)
• The SSD work will release heat,the shell fells very hot,this is normal.
• Please note: Mac OS and some digital camera system use disk format can't compatible with Microsoft system,new SSD if there is no partition,open the "my computer" can't see the ssd, please use the Disk Manager in Windows to delete the partitions or to create a new partition on the SSD

Question:	what model chipset in this enclosure
Answer:	This weblink indicates that this enclosure should fit your ssd: https://beetstech.com/product/solid-state-drive-128gb-655-1799 I bought this enclosure thinking it would fit the ssd out of my wife’s Macbook Air, but I was mistaken.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it still have the optional port for power? Many reviews says it does, but the pictures provided don't show it. It seems the color changed as well
Answer:	"Product Info.Material Plastic" https://www.sabrent.com/product/EC-UASP/2-5-inch-sata-usb-3-0-tool-free-external-hard-drive-enclosure-black/
Question:	Does this power down after X minutes of inactivity
Answer:	Other answers are not completely accurate. This device does come with the needed USB type A male to type A male cable but this is NOT a conventional cable. The usual cables needed to connect USB drive are USB type A to USB type B and will NOT work with this enclosure.
Question:	What chipset/ controller does it use
Answer:	Yes. I purchased it to clone my laptop HDD to an 850 EVO 500 GB SSD SATA III http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-2-5-Inch-Internal-MZ-75E500B-AM/dp/B00OBRE5UE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1436897118&sr=8-1&keywords=samsung+ssd+850&pebp=1436897118987&perid=0KYJ973XR7E3QJP29AAR. After I installed the SSD into the laptop I use the Sabrent as a backup for the HDD I removed from the laptop.
Question:	I’m getting about 100mbs write/500mbs read with samsung evo 850 on my 2016 macbook pro through supplied usb c-c cable. usb c-a cable the same result
Answer:	It is an enclosure that you mount an internal hard drive in to basically make it external. Once you mount the hard drive on it you can then use the usb to plug it in.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it safe to use this for media files and run
Answer:	Absolutely. I have had mine connected to my PC for 2 months 24/7, and it runs just like an internal Sata HDD. Have a good one!
Question:	Will this product support a 6TB
Answer:	My 6TB Seagate hard drive didn't work for this product. On Amazon website said 3TB desktop, it might be up to 3TB.
Question:	Is the power supply universal (110-240V
Answer:	12v ps. Provided...do not use 12v supply with 5v drives. Some drives are ranged 5v to 12v . Some just say 5v.
Question:	I have a 1TB internal hard drive which I want to convert to external for backup storage.Is this a viable solution
Answer:	Depends on the HDD or SSD you are using and how you intend to use it. This drive is really made for fast-access to a variety of different drives for shorter periods. The interface is high-speed, but the case does NOT seal out dust, it does not give any sort of shock/impact damage protection, and not having any sort of cooling, it can get very hot with high speed HDDs. I have a 10k RPM WD Raptor from quite a few years back that I wanted to pull music off of. Over about an hour of usage, it got quite hot. While perfectly fine for intermittent usage, this is not ideal for frequent or prolonged usage given heat is a major catalyst of premature hard drive failure. So with higher RPM HDDs, this is not as good a choice for constant usage as a dedicated enclosure with some shock protection and a cooling fan/heat sinks. With a SSD, this is obviously not of concern. So if your 1tb is a HDD and you want to have it running constantly for backups, an external with a fan and shock protection would be a better match, IMO. Depending on the age of your drive though, it may be worth considering buying a new drive outright given you can get enterprise grade drives like the WD RE4's in that size for under $70 and SSDs have even gotten very affordable. While predicting when a specific drive fails is very difficult to do, standard consumer-grade HDDs tend to have failure rates increase at the 3-4 year mark and really spike at the 4-5 year mark (Google's study on this is the most detailed I know of to date.) An enterprise drive would give you a more reliable backup system with a longer reliable service life, and usually read/write speeds that are 2-3 times faster than standard internal HDDs (of which you would need to use USB3 or ThunderBolt to take full advantage of.)Sorry for the long response.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this enclosure support trim

Question:	Is the case plastic or aluminium
Answer:	We(SSK) are the manufacturer, and chipset model number is JM583.
Question:	I've read other reviews that state the included cable doesn't work well. Has the included cable been replaced with one that works
Answer:	Yes, I had a small SSD (256GB)which I replaced with a 1 TB SSD. You place the new SSD in the adaptor and connect it via the included USB 3.1 (or C) cable to your PC, laptop, etc, then format the new SSD. I then ran a program called Paragon Hard Disk Manager which clones your old SSD. Once finished, I replaced the old SSD with the new SSD and booted up the system. It ran beautifully and looked just like my old SSD; just with more space on the SSD. All the old programs and bootups were exactly as they were before; I've had mine new SSD for a couple weeks now and have yet to notice anything different from my old SSD. I couldn't be more pleased.
Question:	What chipset/bridge controller does "enclosure usb 3.1 gen 2" use
Answer:	I am on a ThinkPad T480s and just bought a Samsung EVO 970 Plus 1 TB NVMe m.2 SSD and put it into this enclosure. My goal is to use the Samsung Data Migration software to clone my current SSD (also Samsung, 512 GB) to this new SSD so it will be running faster and have more storage space. The new SSD in this enclosure has been recognized by my Windows 10 system (after setting it up in the Disk Manager) as a normal external drive. Unfortunately, as mentioned by other users, it will not be recognized as a Samsung drive by the Samsung Data Migration software, no matter using the USB-C to C cable or USB-C to A cable. After doing some research, I think the only way out is to use some other cloning software. Hopefully, this is helpful.
