2.5 inch Hard Drive Enclosure Type c, PiBOX India 6Gbps USB 3.1 to SATA III Tool-Free External Hard Drive Enclosure for 7mm/9.5mm 2.5" SSD Laptop HDD with UASP for Samsung WD, Xbox PC TV - Black

The Pi Box enclosure is surprisingly well built with a nice texture, and the carry case alone feels like it is worth at least ₹250. I have bought a smaller IEM case for ₹150 from Audiocular before, so this feels like a great bonus. The included USB 3.0 cable is high quality, easily worth at least ₹200 on its own, and it even comes with a velcro organiser. Performance is great, giving around 80 MB/s with USB 3.0 on HDD and 25 to 30 MB/s on USB 2.0 when tested with my phone. It supports SATA HDDs, which is a big plus. I personally use it with an old laptop HDD to store my large collection of hi-res FLAC songs, where each file is between 30 and 80 MB, along with movies and other media. If you have extra budget, pairing this with an SSD would be even better. The Type-C port is very convenient, and you can use your phone’s C-to-C cable with it. The free phone stand they include is also a nice touch. It is not a premium build, but for the price, it is a decent and good quality product. The only downside is the front logo and text, which look a bit cheap, and I will probably cover them with stickers. Overall, this is a great buy and totally worth the money.

I ordered the PiBOX India 2.5" Hard Drive Enclosure (USB 3.1 Type-C, 6Gbps, Tool-Free) and received it the next morning with fast delivery. I’m very happy with this product — it helped me recover and access my old 2.5" HDD easily. At first, I thought the internal SATA connector was loose, but it turns out that’s by design for easy tool-free access. Once the drive is inserted, it fits perfectly and stays stable during use. It supports 2.5" SATA HDDs and SSDs, and works great with both. The transfer speed is smooth, installation is quick, and the compact size makes it very easy to carry — perfect for travel or daily use. The only minor drawback is that the material feels a little cheap, kind of like 3D-printed plastic, but it still does the job well. Overall, a solid product that solved my major issue. Great value for money! Pros: Fast delivery Plug & play, tool-free design Supports 2.5" SATA HDD/SSD Drive fits perfectly Good speed via Type-C Very compact and easy to carry Cons: Material quality could be better (feels a bit cheap) Highly recommended if you need a quick and portable solution for your 2.5" drives.
