Review: Repurpose an old laptop drive as portable storage! - This is a good way to repurpose an old laptop drive as portable storage after an upgrade. The rugged construction makes it logical for, say, an older platter drive, which needs a bit more protection than a 2.5" SSD. Installation was very fast -- unscrew lid with included driver, drop in the drive, replace lid, plug into USB-C port -- and I was able to read an old WD Blue 2TB drive on both Windows and Mac. So yeah, good solution to keep an old drive around as a functional external, portable storage drive without overspending on bandwidth that the drive itself would not support.
Review: Exactly as described - At first, I was a little skeptical about this product but after getting it and seeing it, this is a very well-made, product quality, exactly as described

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the black area surrounding the enclosure made of rubber or is it plastic? Whats the material of that black part?**
A: This is made from rubber. There is a plastic shell inside of the rubber that the drive sits in. The rubber fits around it for protection.

**Q: will it fit a 15mm thick Seagate Barracuda 2.5 hard drive or just the smaller 7mm drives?**
A: No, just the thinner 2.5” drives.

**Q: Is C2580c compatible with Thunderbolt 3 port?**
A: Yes Thunderbolt 3 supports USB 3.1 gen 2. However, it will only run at USB 3.1 gen 2 (10Gb/s), not at Thunderbolt 3 (32Gb/s) speeds though.

**Q: Is this usb-if certified?**
A: Yes, though speed would depend of cable type and your computer usb port.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Breathe new life into any old ssd/hdd !
*by A***J on October 4, 2025*

This breathed new life into a Samsung QVO ssd I had from an old pc build. The ssd fit perfectly and the opening/closing process gives me confidence with its durability in the long term. My only issue was when I was running a blackmagic disk speed test it went a little past halfway and then errored out. It’s a bit concerning however I’ve put many large files with no corruption issues so I’m praying it’s just a fluke. It does run at the speed that my ssd is rated for so no issues there! Overall a really good enclosure for the price!
