Ottimo!

Cosa dire di più? E' fatto di plastica molto robusta, la chiusura ha un profilo che ne garantisce l'impermeabilità, il disco interno si assembla senza l'uso di viti e cacciavite. Se proprio devo trovare una cosa non ottimale è lo sportellino che protegge il connettore: quando lo si apre per collegare il box al computer bisogna prestare attenzione a posizionarlo correttamente (ruotandolo di 90° verso l'alto) pena qualche difficoltà ad inserire il cavo di collegamento.Consigliato (io ne ho presi due)!

5.0 out of 5 stars This review is for Rugged Hard Drive Enclosure, Military Rated (S251BRU33) - Perfect protection for your SSD!

2026-02-12    -Heromojo

I wish Amazon/sellers would stop bundling reviews for completely unrelated products together it's highly unhelpful!This review is for: This review is for Rugged Hard Drive Enclosure, Military Rated (S251BRU33)I received this product yesterday and after using it for the whole day I'm quite happy with it. I will change the review if I encounter any problems. I have USB2 ports only, so can't comment on the speed. That is, USB2 is my bottleneck and I get about same speed with all enclosures. The enclosure is very well designed and is indeed Rugged. It's for sure suitable for use in military or on a starship! It is made out of durable plastic (ABS I think) and looks like mechanically it'll last a long time. The hinge and the closing latch have metal rod inside which gains my respect instantly, unlike some of those cheapo screwdriver set boxes that use bendable plastic. There's a rubber door that holds the USB port covered when not in use. The case is not waterproof as I think the water will come through the usb port if submerged, but I think it'll do excellent job to keep humidity and moisture away in harsh environments.My reason for getting this enclosure is to store photos while traveling. I use a PNY SSD drive inside this enclosure instead of HDD to avoid damage due to jolts/drops to which moving parts of non-SSD drive are far more susceptible. Enclosure comes with padding to hold SSD in place because it's thinner than laptop hard drives.With the rubber bumper, the dimensions are almost exactly as that of standard (big) hard drive making it rather bulky for my taste. The dimensions **without** the bumper are about 5 1/4 x 4" x 3/4" and are much more pleasing. If you're going to use it for SSD, the bumper is superfluous as the case is hard enough on the outside and is actually padded with thick rubber on the inside already! It looks much nicer without the rubber bumper. I'm quite confident that if I throw this enclosure against a concrete wall with all my force the SSD inside will not be damaged in fact the case will probably survive as well! Rubber bumper is probably useful if you're going to use HDD inside, as it will absorb the shock if dropped.As others mentioned this case may NOT be suitable for non-SSD hard disk drives as they generate much more heat while in operation and can be damaged if you keep the door closed. However if you keep the door open while HDD is in operation, it'll be cool enough. The door stays open at 90 degree angle and doesn't open further so it might look weird and highly impractical for everyday home use, but if you're getting this enclosure for use while traveling and need good protective case anyway, opening/closing door might be acceptable compromise. For SSD you don't have to worry abut this as they generally don't get too hot.If manufacturer could have a model with and without the bumper to make it a bit cheaper would be perfect. Aside from that, really happy with this product. Wish my MacBook had a USB3 port (instead of useless thunderbolt) to use with my new SSD drive!Other thoughts:Due to the angle at which drives are inserted if you will be frequently inserting/removing drives into this case, the connector inside might eventually break it. For normal use this is not an issue. There's an access LED light inside, but you won't see it unless you open up the case.Edit:After couple of years of use, I'm very happy with the unit and just bought two more. These two I'm using with Seagate BarraCuda HDs (not SSD). And they do get hot iside. For casual use it's probably not an issue, the temps don't go too high, but if I intend to transfer large files I always open the cover to be on the safe side. With the first enclosure I use an SSD drive, so I never have to bother, even with heavy transfers it never gets too hot.

3.0 out of 5 stars Bulky, tends to overheat

The SSD I installed tends to reach maximum operating temp quickly during continuous write in this enclosure. The micro-b plug is annoying and fiddly, and I have no idea why they wouldn't just use a USB A plug instead. The enclosure itself is relatively large and bulky. Expensive. The HDD activity LED is located on the adapter board inside the drive and cannot be seen from the outside when the unit is assembled. Can't recommend it.

Ottimo!

niente da aggiungere, mantiene le promesse. è un po' voluminosa ma il disco rimane certamente protetto

I purchased two of these cases. They look cool and seem to be very durable. The plug on the unit is the wide USB 3 plug that carries power to the unit is annoying when trying to connect the cable. Other than that they are straight forward. After a week or two one of the units started to disconnect and reconnect sporadically. So it's now on the junk pile... The other unit is still working. So I've had a 50% success rate with this device.

Great

So far I’m very happy. It is well built and sold by a brand name company. I’ve bought the non-brand name stuff before and always had issues so I’ve started just buying better stuff. My work buys a lot of their stuff and swears by it. This company is Canadian (London Ontario) which is even better. Put a WD1tb drive in and have been using it with a Mac as a backup drive. Couldn’t be happier.

4.0 out of 5 stars 4.5 stars, nearly perfect, material feels HQ and drive is packed tight inside

2026-02-16    -Ore

Bought this after having to return an external hard drive for a poorly made loose USB port, and deciding to just make my own external with higher quality casing. I like the snap lock design, came with a nice pad to cover 7mm drives with and keep snug in the case. I would reckon a 9.5mm drive would fit just fine without the pad, would be snug and the padding has a slight give. The material all feels high quality, the padding on the inside seems thick and foamy with a “grabby” texture to it, I feel like my drive is very secure. The rubbery bumpers bulk up the size a bit and are much more elastic than they look in photos, lint magnets but very easy to put on and take off. Soft velvety texture that feels durable. The UASP support is an awesome feature.My only gripe is the seal tab on the docking port. The port itself seems in good shape, no dreaded wiggle or give to it when plugged in, but the little tab that pulls back sort of covers the port and has to be pulled put of the way to plug in. Then when you let go theres a bit of tension on the side of the plug and no space inbetween. I dont plan on taking this outside of my room and needing the waterproofing, so I might just take off the cover to keep any tension from being on the plug and keep connection integrity at its best. If this cover tab was seated even a milimeter or two over this drive would be five stars, but risking tension on the plug is a bit of a hang up for me since port connection seems to be the first thing to go with externals and enclosures.But other than that minor detail this thing is a beast. Everything in there is packed snug, if I lightly shake theres nothing moving around inside. Love it. Have a feeling this will last me a long time but I’ll edit if I encounter any issues.
