And only two and a half stars between them. I mainly took the risk because I wanted a very cheap USB 3.0 enclosure to run my home media off of 24/7 and plug it into my router which supports a external HDD via USB 3.0. The main concern with this item according the reviews was a lack of documentation or drivers. I think that's absurd, because anybody who is going to take a bare hard drive out of a computer or even have one sitting around probably knows how to slide it in the right socket and hook up a cable or two. upon receiving the item, i discovered the "lack of documentation" was in fact not an issue at all, not because I didn't need instructions, but because it DID come with a two paged sheet describing literally everything you needed to do to unscrew the enclosure, put in a bare hard drive, and hook it up via USB. So Its possible the two people that previously bought it never received that paper, but I cant say for sure. This is made from a medium quality aluminum round casing, not too fancy, and not too blocky. the plastic part which holds the hard drive and "slides" out is made of a pretty flimsy plastic, but once its in and screwed securely it matters very little. Sliding in the Hard drive was very easy, and the four little plastic tabs needed just a little wiggling to get the hard drive to sit all the way down and let the tabs slip into the Hard drives screw holes (Note: Make sure any screws are out of the hard drive on the sides and bottom before installing into the enclosure). I unscrewed the little screw at the bottom to slide the plastic middle out and install the HDD, and screwed it back in and placed it on the included round base, plugged in power and USB to router, set it on the shelf, and that's it! I'm writing this hours after installing it, and I have mounted the Network drive successfully (using an ASUS AC router that has USB ports for this type of thing) and was able to access the files quickly and transferred stuff just like it was installed directly to the computer. So far, its a "hook it up and go" type of product. It DOES the job, and no more expensive enclosure would do any better for this type of project that I can tell SO FAR. That's the thing that will reduce any stars it gets, if it starts to stutter and fail over time, or intermittently freeze up. This will be a pretty rough test, as it holds all media for an entire house where everybody stores their music, movies, downloaded pictures all on one central drive so it can be streamed effectively anywhere it needs to go. Its quite the stress test on this little guy, so I will update as necessary if there's anything beyond it just working the way it should tucked up nicely on a shelf! Thanks J5Create for making a super cheap little enclosure to fit the bill so far, and I hope it holds up beyond my expectations for how much I spent! Review: Missing Power Adapter on Multiple Returns - I have received and returned multiple units where they are missing the 12v 2a power adapter, the drive will not work without it. The outer box says it should be included. I've also reached out to j5create support directly and they were not helpful. The actual enclosure works fine if you have a power adapter. It has a nice metal housing and a plastic insert tray that makes it easy to insert a drive without any tools but holds it securely. Had no issues with mac and linux recognizing the drive. Edit: After working with their support more, I'm lowering to 1 star, they were truly infuriating to deal with. Every message with them felt like it was starting over. Ultimately they offered to send me a new one directly but had to ship the current one back at my expense. Ignore the paper card saying STOP!! do not return to the store you purchase, contact j5create to make it right. After dealing with them for weeks, they really do not care. ## Features - The JEE351 3.5" SATA to USB 3.0 External Hard Drive Enclosure lets you connect a 3.5 inch SATA hard drive through USB 3.0, which is ideal for anyone in need of storing and transferring large amounts of data. - USB 3.0 SuperSpeed 5 Gbps, 10 times faster transfer rate, backwards compatible with USB 1.0 – USB 3.0 specifications - Hot-Swappable plug-and-play without rebooting - Blue LED indicates power & HDD activity - Premium Aluminium Construction ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00R5Z9J9Q | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,453 in Enclosures | | Brand | j5create | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Laptop | | Connectivity Technology | SATA, USB | | Customer Reviews | 3.5 out of 5 stars 57 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 5 gigabits_per_second | | Enclosure Material | Aluminum | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00847626000928 | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 3.5 inches | | Hardware Interface | USB | | Hardware Platform | Windows | | Item Weight | 298 g | | Manufacturer | j5create | | Material | Aluminum | | Memory Storage Capacity | 6 TB | | Mfr Part Number | JEE351 | | Model Number | JEE351 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Supported Devices Quantity | 1 | | UPC | 804067315394 847626000928 808112999324 | ## Product Details - **Hardware Interface:** USB - **Brand:** j5create - **Color:** Black - **Hardware Platform:** Windows - **Material:** Aluminum ## Images ![3.5 Inch SATA to USB 3.0 External Hard Drive Enclosure (JEE351) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Nfz0cYBIL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: will it work for windows 10 and is it compatible with western digital hard drives sata?** A: It is just an empty enclosure that you slip your hard drive in.

They arrived with AC adapters. From what customer reviews I've seen, one should no longer expect current versions to ship with an adapter (12V 2A barrel plug). My orders last month did not include the AC adapter. It doesn't work without the adapter. I contacted j5create support and was immediately sent an AC adapter. J5create tech support was very good and responsive. Tech support gets 5 stars. The lack of an AC adapter is the reason for the three stars. Also, mounting screws are not needed as this enclosure relies on plastic "nubs" that fit the holes in a standard drive frame. You flex the enclosure during installation or removal. This suggests to me that the enclosure is designed for desktop, rather than mobile, installations. The connectors and activity face the rear of the enclosure. No special drivers are required. Overall, I am pleased with the performance of this model enclosure. ## Frequently Bought Together - j5create 3.5 Inch SATA to USB 3.0 External Hard Drive Enclosure - SAMSUNG 990 PRO SSD NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen4, M.2 2280 Internal Solid State Hard Drive, Seq.
