StarTech - SAT2510BU2 - 2.5in Black USB 2.0 External Hard Drive Enclosure for SATA HDD

This external hard drive enclosure transforms a 2.5in SATA (SATA, SATA II, SATA III) hard drive or SSD into the perfect portable storage solution.

Ideal for storing digital multimedia and other demanding applications, the enclosure lets you get the most out of your hard drive, connecting to a host computer using USB 2.0 (also backward compatible with USB 1.1), for maximum data transfer rates of 480Mbps. Large capacity drives (tested with up to 1TB) can be used to greatly enhance your computer's storage/backup capabilities.

Plus, the external hard drive enclosure includes a USB Y-cable, that when both USB male connectors are connected to the host computer eliminates the need for an external power adapter.
