External HDD Enclosure Case 2.5" SATA to USB 2.0 - Plug and Play (EN305)

Turn a spare 2.5" hard drive into a portable USB storage device. This external HDD enclosure houses a 2.5 inch hard drive and connects to your computer over USB 2.0, giving old or spare drives a second life as portable backup or transfer storage.

Setup is plug and play — the enclosure draws power directly from the USB connection, so there's no separate power adapter to carry around. It's compatible with a wide range of operating systems including Windows 98 through XP and Mac OS 9.0 and above. The included leatherette case adds a layer of physical protection when the enclosure is on the move.

Good to know

This enclosure is designed for 2.5 inch drives, the size used in laptops, so it won't accommodate larger 3.5 inch desktop drives. Fitting your drive is straightforward using the included screwdriver, and the bundled CD and manual will guide installation if drivers are required.
