This portable drive enclosure turns your 2.5 in.
SATA solid-state drive or hard drive into
external data storage that’s easy to take with
you. Its compact, lightweight design makes it
convenient to tuck into your laptop bag or carrying
case.
To maximize portability, the enclosure features a
built-in USB-C cable, so you never have to worry
about forgetting to bring your connector cable
with you wherever you go. The cable wraps safely
around the enclosure while it’s not in use, to
prevent damage or tangles and take up less space
in your laptop bag. The USB Type-C™ connector is
small and reversible, which makes for easier insertions and less risk of port damage. The drive enclosure
is USB powered, with no external power adapter required, which means one less thing to carry with you.

enhanced performance.
