- My only concern, like a few complaints that I read on Amazon before ordering this, is that there needs to be an additional hardware added to this device to cause the HDD drive to "spin down" or "sleep" so as to not cause the drive to burn up due to constant power on. The power switch on the side is a nice attempt but I may forget to turn off the power when I get up to go do something or if I leave it on overnight due to copying large files etc. While this was built to handle either SSD or HDD, I think it is better suited for SSD's due to the lack of its' power down ability. I'll wait for the SSD price to align more with the HDD prices and then I break down and buy an SSD and then this won't be an issue. Yes, I do recommend this device.
I have 3 of these Inatek 2.5 Inch USB 3.0 enclosures that house extra HDDs that were replaced with SSDs in newer company laptops and 1 laptop that was recycled due to age and other issues.
The HDDs were replaced in the newer laptops since all of our company laptops are used for traveling to demos and meetings, besides office applications. I did not want our company or client data to be risked since the HDDs are unstable for lots of traveling.
Additional reasons have to do with data processing using larger data files which were formatted and processed with SQL applications for submittal to Watson Data Analytics; this required optimal data speeds across the data-stream platform. The SSDs are much faster.
These Inatek enclosures with the 3 extra USB 3.0 ports are handy since they do allow for fast 3.0 data speeds and file transfers from other USB storage sources. I have tried to "daisy-chain" these drives into each other's USB ports with of them plugged into a USB-based power source on a laptop's USB array of available USB 3.0 ports - that "daisy-chaining" the drive in a serial type of fashion does not work very well. The power requirement for the HDDs is higher than what I was experimenting with to find out just how many USB ports I would actually need to drive all 3 of these at once, plugged into each other, with one providing an external power source. They might show up on your Windows File Explorer, but while I had that, one of the HDDs started to "click", indicating something. I plugged all 3 into their separate power sources and everything was faster with no "side effects" from inadequate power being supplied while "daisy-chained".
The power profiles as measured using a DROK USB Meter ([...]) rated as best as of Aug. 2016.
Daisy-chaining the enclosures with the lead enclosure only plugged into an external power source: ~ 4.7 Volts on all USB 3.0 ports on all the enclosures. This may explain the older Seagate HDD "clicking" , until it had its own power source. You CAN see the files on File Explorer, though it is skittish in that the file access and commands are slow.
Plugging all three of the enclosures into their own power source: ~ 5.2 Volts on all USB 3.0 ports across all the enclosures. No Seagate "clicking". The file access was snappy.
Note that I am early in the day-in, day-out extended use of these drives. I will return after a few months to report findings. Once these enclosures are finally placed as back-up drives, where they will not be moved vs. their former potential use while traveling, my guess is the drives will last much longer. I am watching the "Backblaze" reports on which drives are most reliable: [...] , so I am going to watch how these drives perform under these new use parameters. This is especially for the Seagate that came from an older HP multi-media purposed i5 laptop, that did some traveling for 3 years before being replaced with an ASUS ROG gamer-spec rig.
I recommend this enclosure since it is relatively simple, functional, small and has energy-saving operating parameters, all the while expanding the array of available USB 3.0 ports to 3. Just ensure the power source is adequate, my ASUS ROG has 4 USB 3.0 ports that all measure ~5.1 - 5.2 volts.
