Dirt cheap price on this USB 3.0 to SATA 2.5" transparent enclosure shipping from Jack Ma /s. These are really useful for turning 2.5" SSDs and HDDs into portable storage enclosures and they're particularly useful if you're wanting to clone an OS onto a drive.

The cheapest enclosure uses a Micro B USB 3.0 cable and includes a USB-A 3.0 to USB-C adapter. Otherwise you can pay extra for an enclosure that uses a USB-C cable instead.

AU$ based on current Mastercard rate and GST inclusive.

How to get the AU$ price in the title with PayPal:

Setting overseas websites to AUD or letting PayPal do the currency conversion results in an inflated rate. To get the correct rate you need a card without international fees and do the following:

• Set the website currency to USD
• Checkout with PayPal
• Select your card with no international fees
• Click "See currency options"
• Select USD to bill the card in USD instead of AUD
• Proceed with checkout

Now you'll get the correct MasterCard or VISA exchange rate depending on the card.

    Not here on desktop site using the "Buy Now" button. I even created a new account and got the same.

    Deal is saying 100% claimed now anyway.

      Is that because of new account discount?

        Neither have such discount.

        Nah. He's been spotted overseas months ago and now back to normal.

  Does this support sequential read and write speeds of 560MB/s and 530MB/s?

  • 

    Clear on 25/06/2024 - 21:53

    Depends if your SSD supports those speeds. Plus all the other factors.

      Yes, I have a Samsung 870evo.
      But I doubt this enclosure will.

        Pretty easy to get close to the sequential read/write speeds using an enclosure and CrystalDisk.

  • 

    Lief on 25/06/2024 - 21:59

    It's USB 3.0 so at best it'd be around 400MB/sec

      So I need an enclosure that supports the USB 3.2 Gen 2 Standard, thanks.

        Let's do numbers properly so we're all clear on the theoretical maximum of each USB standard.

        • USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5Gbps): 625MB/s
        • USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps): 1250MB/s
        • USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20Gbps): 2500MB/s

        You'll find a lot of computers and devices don't support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 yet unfortunately. USB 3.1 Gen 1 (aka USB 3.0) would be sufficient but USB 3.2 Gen 2 (aka USB 3.1 Gen 2) would be more likely to get the speeds over USB-C.

          @Clear: Thanks for that. I find that most of the USB 3.2 Gen 2 2.5" SSD enclosures are advertised with speeds of up to only 6Gbps, which is good enough for my SSD.
