Recommended. - I used this product to save a hard drive from a dead macbook pro (2011 series). Worked awesome and only one USB connection required (not two like other products). I was able to extract the data with no issues (i had to remove some side screws from drive, but that's easy). Plus the product comes with its own screwdriver, and even an extra screw in case you lose one (they are tiny)! Then I was able to clear off the drive and connect into my Airport Extreme router and use as a time machine backup (router-based storage). Amazing works without a hitch. Its USB3 which is very cool, but only using in USB 2.0, where it works perfectly also -- cable included. Very easy to use (no instructions required, just plug in your SATA drive). Review: Beautifully simple design that compliments Apple's aesthetic - Just purchased one of these to house a 500GB Seagate Momentus XT that used to live in my 15" MacBook Pro. i upgraded to the new 13" MacBook Air with 256GB SSD but needed additional storage space as well as a faster way to transfer my data using Migration Assistant. This housing fits any 2.5" SATA HDD under 12.5mm thick and utilizes the faster USB 3.0 SuperSpeed spec while maintaining backwards compatibility with USB 2.0. even while using the older 2.0 spec, the transfer rates seem markedly faster than my other SATA to USB 2.0 drive housings, which is a plus and is likely attributed to the built-in chipset. for those looking at the somewhat awkward looking connector on the housing, it is the new MicroUSB connector for USB 3.0... this connector is based on the 6-pin MicroUSB (NOT 5-pin MiniUSB) connector currently used on most mobile phones but features an additional connection that allows for higher power and a couple more signaling lines, but it's 100% backwards compatible with the MicroUSB 2.0 connector standard. facing the connector upright, you can use any previous MicroUSB cable by utilizing the right side of the connector. the kit also includes a USB 3.0 cable that is also backwards compatible with USB 2.0 ports, but this new cable fills the socket completely. also included with the kit are a couple of extra screws to secure the housing lid and a screwdriver. for the price, it's not bad at all for the speed you get and the design, but it isnt the cheapest option available. you can save $5-10 by going with a more generic look from any of a number of brands. what you get for the price is USB 3.0 compatibility and of course it's design. in case the photos dont reveal it fully, it basically looks like a jumbo version of Apple's Magic Mouse. compared to other external portable HDD's, it's about average in size... larger than most USB only external HDD's, but slimmer than most firewire external drives. width and length are about average, and internally it uses these dimensions to accommodate rubber buffers to help protect the drive from shock... something most cheap housings do without. the activity LED is blue and simply comes on once the drive is powered and flickers spastically as the drive is accessed. this is a nice housing with its glossy white acrylic face and matte silver plastic base, again mimicking the look of Apple's Magic Mouse and worth the money based on its speed and USB 3.0 compatibility. if aesthetics are important to you, which it seems to be with most Apple computer owners, then this is worth the extra few bucks. it is also the lowest price you'll find as it seems to be about $5-10 more elsewhere i've looked. ## Features - Support HDD/SSD height up to 9.5mm, capacity not limited - USB 3.0 transfer rate up to 5Gbps. USB 2.0 transfer rate up to 480Mbps - BLUE and RED indicate the power and activity of data access - Truly Plug and Play - Windows 98SE/2000/MAC/Linux for USB 2.0,Supports: Windows XP/Vista/7 for USB 3.0 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00A9S3H62 | | Brand | Ineo Tech | | Color | Aluminum Black | | Compatible Devices | Laptop | | Connectivity Technology | SATA, USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 306 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 5000 Megabytes Per Second | | Form Factor | 2.5-inch | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00736211841636 | | Hard Disk Description | External | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 2.5 Inches | | Hard Disk Interface | USB 1.1 | | Hard-Drive Size | 1.5 TB | | Hardware Connectivity | USB 3.0 | | Hardware Platform | Mac | | Installation Type | Plug In | | Item Weight | 0.15 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Ineo | | Mfr Part Number | I-NA217U PLUS | | Model Number | I-NA217U PLUS | | Number of Items | 1 | | Specific Uses For Product | Personal | | UPC | 172302685787 100177414218 736211841636 151903392072 132017726946 163120556472 163120772346 | | Warranty Description | 1 year | ## Images ![Ineo I-NA217UPLUS SATA III to USB 3.0 External Drive Enclosure with Integrated USB Cable for 2.5-inch SSD and HDD - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61nz-uuYKFL.jpg) ![Ineo I-NA217UPLUS SATA III to USB 3.0 External Drive Enclosure with Integrated USB Cable for 2.5-inch SSD and HDD - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41rkEYexjaL.jpg) ![Ineo I-NA217UPLUS SATA III to USB 3.0 External Drive Enclosure with Integrated USB Cable for 2.5-inch SSD and HDD - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61lxoy8OXuL.jpg) ![Ineo I-NA217UPLUS SATA III to USB 3.0 External Drive Enclosure with Integrated USB Cable for 2.5-inch SSD and HDD - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Cp61G57NL.jpg) ![Ineo I-NA217UPLUS SATA III to USB 3.0 External Drive Enclosure with Integrated USB Cable for 2.5-inch SSD and HDD - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51lGB+nv2dL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome product.

It does a COMPLETE copy of the entire drive to another drive and no computer is needed for the process * Relatively small footprint (single HD units of this type are not that much smaller). Cons: * 1tb drive copy took about 30 mins (2.5in HDD ->2.5in SSD) and at the end, both drives were definitely *warm*. Some form of cooling solution would help when the unit is being used regularly. * The unit has a kinda cheap plastic white top, so this unit must be handled with care (the photo of the product is not really true to the look). * The USB cable provided is incredibly short. I highly recommend you consider purchasing a 6ft USB 3.0 cable along with this unit - make sure it's a TYPE A to TYPE B USB 3.0 Cable!! * Not recommended as a dock for your HD. Normally, when the computer goes to sleep/shutdown the hard drives sleep/shutdown as well. This thing is still keeping the drive active even when the compuer is off/sleeping. This will take a toll on your drive and ultimately will contribute to it being worn-out. Summary: This is a weird unit, it definitely has some cheap-feeling aspects to the build quality, yet it does it's job pretty well and is absolutely invaluable if you want to migrate your data to a new drive without having to to do it with your computer. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/5142921-ineo-i-na217uplus-sata-iii-to-usb-3-0-external](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/5142921-ineo-i-na217uplus-sata-iii-to-usb-3-0-external) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-09-21*
