Solid performance 2.5" enclosure with UASP support

Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2017

Verified Purchase

== Introduction ==
I have been using Transcend StoreJet 25S3 2.5″ SSD/HDD Enclosure with Seagate 500GB 5400RPM HDD on Asus RT-AC68U for 2 years. Didn’t care to review it as 5400RPM HDD does not have the chance to push its limit until now. Yup, 480GB Kingston SSDNow UV400 SSD should be able to test its SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface with UASP support. Is StoreJet 25S3 perfect as SSD enclosure? Let’s find out…

== Package Content & Design ==
Surprise! Yes, I keep most of the boxes of my products including Transcend StoreJet 25S3. It is still look as new even after 2 years. Basically, you will get StoreJet 25S3 enclosure, USB 3.0 cable, warranty card, quick start guide and lot of other Transcend product brochures there. As for build quality, it is well made thanks to aluminum housing with solid plastic (2 black parts). And it supports 2.5 inch HDD or SSD up to 9.5 mm in height. There is a blue LED light indicator on top right just beside the USB 3.0 wording. By the way, you will need to use screwdriver to remove the screws first in order to put SSD in. Not totally tool-free here. But not a deal breaker also unless you always need to chance hard drive. For me, I opened no more than 10 times in 2 years here.

One Touch Auto-Backup button is located just besides USB 3.0 port. You can use Transcend Elite software to enable express synchronization of files and folders to PC by just one touch. Will cover Transcend Elite software in the future.

== Performance Result ==
I know that Transcend StoreJet 25S3 has no problem to provide maximum transfer rate on 5400RPM HDD. Yup, it sure does here. How about SSD performance? Is UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol) able to do so now? Let’s below benchmark results tell you…

Again, UASP sure does its job well here. It manages to push 480GB Kingston SSDNow UV400 SSD to 418 MB/s read and 415 MB/s write in CrystalDiskMark sequential Q32T1 test. Much better result in ATTO Disk Benchmark with 456 MB/s read and 442 MB/s write. AS SSD Benchmark result is almost the same as CrystalDiskMark. But I am getting much lower reading speed in Anvil’s Storage Utilities. No idea why… By the way, feel free to check out 480GB Kingston UV400 SSD Review to find out its full potential when connect directly through SATA connection.

== Advantages ==
+ Fast performance with UASP support
+ Excellent build quality
+ Stylish design
+ Ultra-portable
+ Workable without the casing

== Limitations ==
- No tool-free design

== Conclusion ==
Transcend StoreJet 25S3 is a solid SSD/HDD enclosure no doubt. Loaded with UASP support to ensure the fastest performance from your SSD. And maximum performance from normal HDD.

It works as it should - Perfectly!!

Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2018

Verified Purchase

I discovered this Transcend StoreJet USB 3.0 External Hard Drive Enclosure by watching a video I found on Y-O-U-T-U-B-E which led me to Amazon to purchase it as I had purchased an SSD from Amazon to put in it to use on an iMac I have recently purchased here on Amazon. I followed the instructions to install High Sierra OS to the Crucial 500GB SSD I placed into the enclosure and placed it behind the center metal stand holding up the monitor/computer to boot from it and keep the original 7200 RPM HD inside the iMac to store files onto. It was a great idea so that's what I did and now boot time for the iMac OS is very quick and not a problem with the new Corsair 500MX SSD or the Transcend enclosure. It's a win/win way to go if you don't want to open your iMac to remove an internal hard drive and install your OS onto an external SSD. Again I want to thank Amazon and the vendor for making this available. It works like a charm!!

Great Product and Durable

Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2017

I love this enclosure model. In fact, I've bought 5 of these already and never had problems connecting to any computer. It even works on my TV. I used them to house a few laptop hard drives which I took out from my some laptops after replacing them with SSDs. The product is sleek unlike other enclosures that may be shorter but thicker. The body is aluminum so you don't have to worry crushing it when placed inside a bag or even your pocket. Just don't drop it though unless it's an SSD inside it.

Good quality and they work great

Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2016

Verified Purchase

Good quality and they work great. They feel solid in hand. Just make sure you have a very small Phillips-head screwdriver, and remove the side where you would connect your cable into. I at first removed the other side, and it is impossible to get the a SSD connected that way. I really wish it would have stated that in the manual, but for some reason it doesn't.

Seems to have incompatibility issues with Skylake

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2018

I'm using this enclosure with a 500GB mechanical HDD, and it causes issues on certain USB 3.0 controllers like the one in Intel Skylake generation chipsets. At first the disk works, but if left for a while the following error in Event Viewer:

UASPStor: Reset to device, \Device\RaidPort_, was issued.

followed by:

Disk: The IO operation at logical block address 0x0 for Disk _ (PDO name: \Device\000000__) was retried.

...at which point I am unable to access files or safely remove the drive.

I think this could have something to do with it not being able to recover from the drive sleeping.

Another annoyance is that the Windows file transfer progress bar becomes does not accurately represent the transfer progress when using this enclosure.

Tough Aluminum Case....

Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2016

Verified Purchase

Before I recycle a failed laptop, I remove the hard disk drive and install it in a Transcend StoreJet case. So far I have three of these. It's a great way to retrieve my old data and I can use the drive as an additional backup for music, videos and photos. The case is thick extruded aluminum with screwed-on plastic ends. Windows will recognize the drive as a USB storage device.

Excellent boîtier pour disque 2,5.

Mon disque ssd 7mm est rentré impeccable, aucun jeu une fois en place grâce à la mousse à l’intérieur.
Seulement deux vis pour montage et démontage.

Les connexions sont parfaite autant internes pour le hdd autant externes le câble se branche facilement et tient bien.

L’aluminium permet la dissipation de la chaleur et je trouve ça plus solide et plus esthétique.

Côté vitesse rien à dire les dernières technologies usb3 sont prises en charge et ça va très vite.
Compatible usb2.

Je recommande vivement, très bon rapport qualité prix.

J’espère que mon commentaire vous sera utile :-) Cdlt

El material de aluminio y ensamblado con los laterales plasticos son de buena calidad, el disco entra exacto a su tamaño y se siente solido una vez armado. La conexión a la PC fue directa sin ningún problema y la velocidad de transferencia me parece bastante bien.

- No es algo negativo, pero hay que tener cuidado al introducir el hdd en el gabinete para no maltratar las gomas internas que lo sujetan. Pero no es difícil.
