If possible, it’s usually best to look for a hard drive enclosure that can give you up to 10 Gbps. This will give you the best performance for your money. Durability Why you should buy this: The OWC ThunderBay 4 can accommodate four drives, but the Thunderbolt connection allows up to six ThunderBay 4 enclosures to be daisy-chained together to house a total of 24 SSDs or HDDs! In general, a USB 3.1 enclosure will transfer around 10 Gbps, but the issue is that SATA limitations will usually prevent you from getting up to that speed. For a SATA transfer you won’t get a great deal of improvement – 1 Gbps at best – if you get 3.1 instead of 3.0. There’s no use in getting it really unless it’s available for an affordable price.

The connection type of your hard drive enclosure is important. The vast majority of external hard drives will sync up with your PC through the use of a USB 2.0 and USB 1.1. Sometimes the hard drive will connect to your computer using FireWire. You should make your decision on the type of connection based on the ports you have already on your PC. Billed as the world's first Thunderbolt certified bus-powered portable hard drive enclosure, OWC's Envoy Express relies on a Thunderbolt 3 connection to deliver blazing fast speeds. It's still not as good as newer Thunderbolt 4 drives, but it gets the job done. With an NVMe M.2 solid-state added to the interior, OWC boasts that the Envoy Express can deliver up to 300% faster speeds than the fastest USB 3.0 options.This comes down to logistics more than anything. The size of the external hard drive enclosure that you need is largely going to depend on the size of the overall hard drive. You can usually get either 3.5 inch hard drives which tend to get used in desktop computers, or there are significantly smaller 2.5 inch hard drives and these are the ones that you will usually encounter in notebook laptops. Of course, the larger option is significantly faster and cheaper, but if you are just looking to upgrade your laptop then the 2.5 inch hard drive will be better. Price

Who’s it for: Those who want the latest USB standards, those converting an internal SSD to an external model. For starters, the enclosure can work with Windows 10, 8, and 7. It can also work with Linux, Visa 7 and 8, and Mac OS 9.1, 10.2 and higher. The enclosure is also great as it works with the vast majority of SATA I, II, and III HDD. Alternatively, it will also work with SSDs too. So long as your SATA HDD or SSD doesn’t exceed 12 terabytes, you’re good to go! There are a few key considerations you’ll want to factor in when selecting the best external hard drive enclosure. Here are what we think are the most important. Heat management When paired with an Asus gaming rig, the ROG Strip Arion benefits from the company's Aura Sync lighting effects with the built-in RGB lighting. The drive relies on the USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 for data transfer, and you can connect the external SSD to your laptop via a USB-C cable for speeds up to 10GB per second, according to the company. Of course, some computers will have both port types so then you can consider which option will be better for you. You are generally going to get a higher bandwidth with USB 2.0 than you would with FireWire 1394a, but the transfer speed can differ between the two. USB is usually the most common type of connection though, so this tends to be what most people will go for. Size

Why you should buy this: The Asus ROG Strix Arion M.2 SSD Enclosure is designed for fast gaming performance and comes with the company's signature design to complement ROG laptops and desktops. This is something that’s especially important if you’re buying an enclosure to work with an SSD drive! Your computer works hard to process your data, and that can sometimes mean that your hard drive could get overheated if you’re not careful. For that reason, you need to think about getting an external hard drive enclosure that has a heat management system. These could be things such as thermal pads or boards – these are simple things that can help to reduce the heat. Others may have ventilation holes. Ultimately, this is something that’s good to consider if you want to keep your hard drive safe.
