Im using this drive enclosure as part of my home media server. I have had no problems this buffering. I have a bluetooth temp sensor a couple of inches above the drive enclosure in a cabinet and have never seen temps more than a couple of degrees above room temp even during several hours of watching movies.Setup was simple

Cet appareil surchauffe. Le ventilateur, si il y en a un est complètement non performant! J’ai retourné 2 appareils de suite.

The GODO USB 3.0 to 3.5 Inch Hard Drive Enclosure is 2/3 the cost of others, but still manages to be sturdy and functional. My only complaint is that the activity LED is on the bottom of the enclosure at the back when the drive inside has the top side up. That is not an issue if you don't mind using the drive oriented upside down or on its side. Like most other inexpensive enclosures there is no fan, and there are no ventilation holes, with only air between the drive and the inside surface of the enclosure. I was looking for the least expensive enclosure that still had a power switch and an activity LED.The included stand works well and allows the activity LED to be more visible.The drive is mounted using two plastic side rails that slide into the aluminum enclosure. The fit is a little tight, but the pieces slide in without requiring excessive force. The drive does not move and the pins in the side panels are sturdy enough to hold the drive. The only thing holding the SATA connector on the drive to the adapter board is two foam pads at the opposite end of the enclosure. I found that it was better to not slide the drive completely in before connecting the end panel with the adapter board. Both end panels are plastic but rigid and solid enough to be durable. The drive should stay connected unless you sit the enclosure in an unusual position sitting on the end panel with the foam pads.I have not yet tested to see if the drives overheat or the adapter has any problems. The adapter board is well manufactured and similar to others.Revised 9/13/2024:The drives sometimes go offline. I think that the drive is sliding out of the SATA connector on the PC board. I added some foam at the opposite end to see if it helps keep the drive connected. If you have problems, you can try holding the drive with the power and USB connectors facing down and then wiggle the enclosure a little so that the drive slides downward into the SATA connector on the PC board.

This GODO enclosure is a game-changer for my external drives. It's sleek and sturdy, and setting up my hard drives was a breeze. The vertical stand saves valuable desk space, and the cooling vents keep things running smoothly. Plus, the transfer speeds are super fast. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable and stylish enclosure.

UPDATE: This is my second GODO 3.5 enclosure. It works as well as my previous purchase.I read where several reviewers stated that their enclosure stopped working after several months, I just hope this doesn't happen to me. Currently, the enclosure works just like a normal harddrive or flash drive; however, I also formated both external HDDs listed in the pictures . I did not want multiple operating systems interfering with normal Windows boot up/startup, which can confuse non-Geek computer users on why the enclosure is not working properly.OLD write up:Installation takes less than two minutes if you view the video in the sales description. This enclosure is built for an internal 3.5" HDD from a desktop computer and not a 2.5" internal HDD from a laptop or notebook. There is no play when properly installed. My Seagate HDD is a SATA 3.5" 1TB HDD taken from a discarded HP desktop. My second enclosure is from a WD HDD purchase and used like a "My Passport" backup would be used.Once connected, it was plug and play (turn it on). My desktop quickly recognized the HDDs and partitions. Once installed it will work on either a laptop computer or desktop using the USB cord (included). It took less than 30 minutes to transfer 500GB to one of the partitioned drives. I leave it connected to my desktop computer as a backup. It powers up when needed. As many reviewers have stated, the controls are in the back of the enclosure, but it does not interfere with my day to day productivity. I just hope these enclosure do not stop working in several months as many have said because I have built them into my daily routines. I do recommend these enclosures for anyone discarding an old computer.
