The compact plastic housing in black is lightweight and portable.

Recommendations

For best performance, connect the enclosure to a USB 3.2 Gen1 port on your computer and enable UASP if supported by your operating system and controller. Use it on a stable surface to avoid abrupt movement while the drive is active and safely eject the drive from the OS before disconnecting to prevent data loss.
