Thanks to UASP SATA III support, transfers reach up to 5 Gbps, which is noticeably faster about 70% faster than traditional USB 3.0. Tool-free installation was very simple: just slide the cover, insert the drive, close it, and you're done. What stands out most is the dual USB-C and USB-A compatibility: I don't have to search for different adapters depending on the device. Its versatility is also excellent: it works with Windows, macOS, Linux, and even consoles like the PS4, and accepts drives up to 6 TB and 9.5 mm thick. Overall, I think it's an excellent purchase. It's ideal for anyone who needs to expand or reuse drives quickly and efficiently especially for those who frequently move large files. I would especially recommend it to students, professionals, or gamers. I would definitely buy it again. Fir just fine for my full size 14tb mechanical drive. Thought heat would be a problem, but runs cooler than I thought (we'll see in the long run). Glad for the USBC IO and powe, the included cables (albeit short..), and decent "GaN" charger that was provided (might actually be authentic too...runs cool and is very compact and light, but I never actually looked more into it.
Totally works and speed is completely acceptable. As others noted its a press and fit setup...screws aren't a thing here. They give foam to put on top or bottom or wherever to keep the drive in place...which more or less for 80% + use cases I think is still totally fine for most people. In my case, the drive won't be really portable. Just sitting on a desk with occasional moving to other PCs for backups.. but even if I was extremely mobile with the drive, it just happens to be that the 14TB Western Digital Red 3.5 inch drive fit exactly the way the bay came by default, I actually had to pop the front panel off to connect the drive and then work it onto the body because the fit was so exact. Nothing rattles, am totally satisfied.
