As soon as I connected the power and the USB cable, the computer immediately recognized the drive. The enclosure's on-off switch is a nice extra feature, because a hard drive sometimes turns off according to the Windows setting for idle time. With this switch, I do not have to unplug the power cord to wake up the external drive. This is a beautiful product that excels in outstanding features, simplicity, and especially QUALITY.
Build quality is fantastic with a brushed aluminium exterior and plastic panels on front and back for I/O. Two leds (one green and blue) indicate activity and power are a nice touch albeit low brightness. Overall, this is your standard Anker/ ORICO type quality of aluminium with nice edges and anodizing. The aluminum is thick; despite the propensity for metal to transmit vibration, both 2.5 and 3.5' hard-drives had minimal buzz when in operation.
Quality aside, I can CONFIRM that the chip being used is the Asmedia 1053e, which, in my opinion, for USB 3.0, is still one of the best chips available. Compared to the 1051 and JMicron an using a travelstar 7k1000, the 1053e on the intateck performed the best, with over 15mbps on the write and 23 on the read. These aren't insignificant numbers, and given that all of the enclosures I tried were powered, shows the superiority of the chip. Also, just to note, the supplied Type B cable is also pretty thick and I was impressed by the spare screws and single set of feet that were included.
So overall, this is another knockout product from inateck. With better build and less issues than its 2.5 brethren, and a low price in general, I recommend this to anybody who wants to upcycle a harddrive or replace a cracked or broken external HDD. I could see this as suitable for security or test bench usage as well; though do note that the air vents are quite small and so prolonged use may not be the best.
Now while some of you people out there may say that i'm too positive or haven't seen the world of high end enclosures, you're wrong. I specifically had this sent to a PO box in NY (so no, this was not a paid review) before I brought this back to Asia , where ORICO and many others are widely avaliable. Certainty, yes- this chip can be found in some thermaltake cases, stock sata bridges and in the basic (I believe S3 model) of ORICO's enclosure lineup, but I think inateck delivers superb (and I will update this should my experiences change) value. I have also tried mediasonic, vantec (1053e 2.5), and OWC enclosures before.

The enclosure is well made and it was simple to install the HDD.
It features an on/off power switch and comes with a UK power adapter and a substantial usb cable.
When the encloure arrives, after removing the packaging you will find that the end of the enclosure with the power switch etc is not screwed in. It can be removed by sliding it out and the HDD just plugs into the appropriate connector.
There are also a couple of screws to secure to HDD on to the enclosure end. The screw holes are located in the sides and it holds everything snug.
Also enclosed are some rubber pads the same as the rubber feet, I used these to stick on the HDD to stop it rattling about inside the enclosure. The HDD and the end can be slid into the enclosure and the two screws (as supplied) fitted into the holes located at each side of the end. When the power is swwitch on there is a Green light located on the end corner and when the Hdrive is activated a Blue light comes on and this is situated just above the Green one.
The whole enclosure is well made and everythng fits easily and well, it has a quality feel and is substantial.
I am very satisfied with this product which is in regular use a a spare Backup to a Flight Sim PC.
New driver recognised, instiallised them formatted. I wasnt using the supplied USB cable and the drive seemed a bit slow, but then I thought it probably needed to be disconnected and reconnected after formatting etc. I then used the supplied USB cable and now the speed is fast as expected, reaches around 163MB second depending on the file size. Copying a HDD to a HDD.
Looks good too. I like the mechanicle power switch, I feel this is reliable.
I've used Inateck products before with great success so I was fairly confident with this purchase. You get everything you need in the box even down to a screwdriver so you basically don't need any tools to assemble this yourself. I've installed a Western Digital Red 10TB in the caddy and although it's a snug fit I didn't have any problems with getting it assembled.
Performance-wise this caddy seems to perform really well, with the WD Red drive being the bottleneck in my testing in Windows 10. I'm sure you would get very good performance out of an SSD in this caddy too but you would be much better off buying a 2.5" caddy instead. Using Synology Hyper Backup to back up the NAS to the USB caddy also maxes out the drive's throughput.
The caddy has a metal cover with plastic ends. On the rear it has a standard USB 3 Type B socket, a DC jack for the AC adapter and a physical power switch (which is a very welcome feature). The LEDs are on the side of the rear which makes them a little difficult to see but also means they are not uber bright and a constant distraction.
Really impressed with this caddy so far, especially considering the price.
Pros:
- Decent USB 3 performance for hard drives
- Kit comes complete with everything needed including a screw driver
- Physial power switch on the caddy
- Fits large drives such as the Western Digital Red 10TB
Cons:
- No vertical stand which would have been nice
