About this product
This is a Seagate Backup Plus Portable USB 3.0 Enclosure, designed specifically for 2.5-inch hard drives with a 15mm thickness. It serves as a protective silver case, allowing users to house and connect an internal drive externally via USB 3.0. While branded Seagate for the enclosure model, the associated brand listed is Samsung, which might indicate a component or compatible drive. This item is offered as a part, implying it's an empty case.
Our take
If you've got a spare 2.5-inch, 15mm hard drive lying around and want to give it external life, this Seagate Backup Plus enclosure is a practical option. The USB 3.0 interface is crucial for decent transfer speeds, making it suitable for backups or portable storage. The silver finish is visually appealing, and it's nice to have a dedicated case rather than a bare drive. However, it's important to remember this is just the enclosure; you'll need to supply your own drive. The listed brand 'Samsung' for a Seagate enclosure is a bit confusing, but it doesn't detract from the enclosure's function as a case.
