External enclosure Orico 2139U3-CR Storage Case 2.5" USB 3.0 transparent

The Orico 2139U3-CR is a compact external enclosure for 2.5" HDD/SSD, which turns an old or new 2.5" drive into convenient external storage via USB. It is suitable for a budget-friendly yet sensible solution for transferring and archiving data, backing up a laptop, or quick transfer between machines. Through the USB 3.0 interface, you get much better speed than old USB 2.0 enclosures, and the transparent case allows you to see what drive is inside. The enclosure is thin and light enough to carry constantly in a backpack or with your laptop.

What you get

The enclosure works with 2.5" HDD/SSD drives with a height of 7 mm and 9.5 mm, so it covers commonly encountered laptop drives – it is ideal if you want to use your old drive as an external one. The connection to the computer is via USB 3.0 with an included 0.5 m USB3.0 AM to Micro B/M cable, which is a sufficient length for a desk without excessive tangling. On the drive side, you have a SATA I/II/III interface and a SATA3 port, so the enclosure works well with both older and newer drives. Thanks to UASP support, actual transfers on supported OS and controllers are faster and have lower latency compared to standard USB transfer. No driver is needed – just plug it in and work under Windows/Mac/Linux.

• The package includes a 0.5 m USB3.0 AM to Micro B/M cable, long enough for convenient connection to a laptop or desktop computer.

Who it is suitable for

This external enclosure is suitable if you want a cheap and clean way to turn a 2.5" HDD or SSD into an external drive – for backup, carrying projects, movies, games, or work files. It also fits well for technicians who often test various 2.5" drives via USB. If you need a solution for 3.5" desktop drives or for a more serious NAS scenario, the limitation to the 2.5" format will not be sufficient for you.

The most sensible aspect of this model is the combination of USB 3.0, UASP support, universal compatibility with 2.5" HDD/SSD, and plug-and-play operation under major OS in a compact transparent case.
