The enclosure is very easy to open and slot a drive into, and I have switched out multiple drives with this and all have worked. I have downloaded large files onto the Crucial ssd with no issues at a very reasonable speed. Now, I have not speed-tested this enclosure, so refer to other reviewers on that regard, but I do not believe my 2.5 inch SATA ssd can even surpass the advertised speed, so I do not believe I can even fully test this enclosure's speeds. I have also used this with a 500gb Seagate hard drive, which works great (for a hard drive, at least), and I have used this with another old hard drive as well. Included with the enclosure is a USB C to A cable and a C to C cable, both of which I have used and work well. The one complaint I have is the build quality. While the aluminum top is nice and works well for heat dissipation, the bottom plastic section has a very weak clip, and does not stay on extremely well. It stays, but a nicer clip, or a latch of some sort would be a much more elegant and functional solution. Also, most modern thin 2.5 inch drives will flop around in the enclosure if it is moved because of all the extra space in the enclosure. A very small insert is provided to aid in this regard, but once again, it is not a very elegant or practical solution and a better solution should have been provided. All things considered, these are very minor concerns, as the enclosure does its job where it counts, and has worked well in my testing. Now honestly any new ssd buyers should probably just opt for an affordable nvme ssd instead of a 2.5 inch drive as prices for nvme drives have been dropping rapidly in the past year, but for those who opt for a 2.5 inch drive, or in my case, have older 2.5 inch drives, it works excellently. ## Features - USB C 2.5 External SSD Enclosure supports a 2.5" SATA SSD or HDD drive; portable external hard drive in a sturdy aluminum housing protects the SSD drive and assists with heat dissipation - Portable USB 3.1 SSD enclosure offers convenient and fast data back-up for temporary or long-term use; Diagnose internal SATA SSD drives for replacement or repair with this SATA HDD adapter - Tool free SATA hard drive enclosure offers a data transfer rate up to 10Gbps with a compatible computer; 10Gbps data transfer rate is 2x faster than USB 3.0; Thunderbolt 3 computer compatible with the included USB C cable; Supports the maximum SATA III 6Gbps data transfer rate - SSD hard drive USB C to SATA storage solution is compatible with Windows or Mac computers as a Thunderbolt 3 hard drive enclosure; USB C SSD enclosure provides a cost-effective solution for adding additional memory without opening up your laptop; UASP, TRIM and S.M.A.R.T support with compatible computers, drives and OS for increased data transfer speeds, improved CPU utilization and failure detection - 10 Gbps USB C hard drive ENCLOSURE is compatible with SATA SSD or HDD drives up to 9.5mm, including 7mm; SATA to Thunderbolt 3 hard drive enclosure is compatible with SATA drives such as the Samsung 860 EVO, Kingston A400 SSD, SSD Plus, Crucial MX500, WD Blue 3D NAND PC SSD ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07CQD6M5B | | Best Sellers Rank | #60 in Enclosures | | Brand | Cable Matters | | Built-In Media | CD | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer, Laptop | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,406 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 10 gigabits_per_second | | Enclosure Material | Aluminum | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 2.5 inches | | Hardware Interface | USB | | Hardware Platform | Windows | | Item Highlight | Premium Aluminum, Includes USB-C and USB Cables, Compatible with Thunderbolt 4/USB4/Thunderbolt 3 Ports, MacBook Pro/Air | | Item Weight | 96.39 g | | Manufacturer | Cable Matters | | Material | Aluminum | | Memory Storage Capacity | 5 TB | | Mfr Part Number | 201079-BLK | | Model Number | 201079-BLK | | Number of Items | 1 | | Supported Devices Quantity | 1 | | UPC | 818707023549 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 1-Year Limited Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Cable Matters - **Color:** Black - **Hardware Interface:** USB - **Hardware Platform:** Windows - **Material:** Aluminum ## Images ![Cable Matters Aluminum 10Gbps USB C Hard Drive Enclosure for 2.5" SSD/HDD - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/814GOZosKtL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What drives are compatible with this enclosure?** A: This enclosure supports 2.5-inch SATA SSDs and HDDs up to 9.5mm in height. 3.5-inch drives are not supported. **Q: Which operating systems are supported?** A: It works with Windows, macOS, and Linux.

The Crucial SSD in an Inatek case would backup at a rate of about 530GB every hour for a 1.6TB backup (3 hours). I had to temporarily switch to doing partial clone-backups with my smaller 1TB Samsung 860 SSD, in a similar Inatek case (not backup iTunes media), and saw 600GB per hour while copying my 16" MacBook Pro (upgraded cpu, gpu, 32gb/2tb). So, the Samsung was slightly faster. Well, I bought this Cable Matters case with a 2TB Samsung 860, and Carbon Copy Cloner just hit 980GB copied in the first hour! Black Magic Disk Speed Test shows 485 write and 528 read, which is almost the speed of my old 2014 Mackbook Pro 15" internal SSD. I attribute the 70% speed increase over the other Samsung 860 to the Cable Matters case. On top of that, the Space Grey color is a perfect match to the color of my 16" Macbook (see pics). I have to say this case is a winner, despite being 1mm thicker than my other cases. Also, the top and side are a nice aluminum, but the plastic removable bottom for internal access is a slight letdown. The USB connection clicks in crisply with the included cable, and doesn't feel loose. The 12" cable is sturdy, but it could be a little more flexible as it's too stiff to slide the case snugly against my Macbook (see pics). I could likely fix this with softer cable, but that might slow it down. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cable Matters Premium Aluminum 10Gbps Gen 2 USB C Hard Drive Enclosure for 2.5" SSD/HDD with USB-C and USB-A Cables - Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 / Thunderbolt 3 Port Compatible with MacBook Pro, MacBook Air - SAMSUNG 870 QVO SATA III SSD 8TB 2.5" Internal Solid State Drive, Upgrade Desktop PC or Laptop Memory and Storage for IT Pros, Creators, Everyday Users, MZ-77Q8T0B - UGREEN USB C Hard Drive Enclosure for 2.5" SATA SSD HDD Aluminum USB C to SATA Adapter USB 3.1 Gen 2 Support UASP SATA III Compatible with MacBook Pro Air WD Seagate Toshiba Samsung Hitachi --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ma/products/80266760-cable-matters-aluminum-10gbps-usb-c-hard-drive-enclosure-2](https://www.desertcart.ma/products/80266760-cable-matters-aluminum-10gbps-usb-c-hard-drive-enclosure-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Morocco* *Store origin: MA* *Last updated: 2026-09-15*
