Review: The easiest installation - I've never installed a hard drive in a case before so I just unpacked it to look and figure it out, but after 2 minutes the drive was installed almost without me noticing it. The instruction is a little picture printed on the side of the package. It's literally impossible to install the drive wrong, you just put it in the box where it fits and that's all, no tools needed. The only thing you may do wrong is to pick the wrong size of the foam frame, there are two of them and they have different thickness for two sizes of hard drives. I tried the thicker one first and made sure I can snap the lock on the lid before I glued the foam to the inside of the lid. The drive is recognised by my computer and the data copying is fast. I didn't drop it or splashed water on it (and I will try not to), but it looks sturdy and waterproof enough to survive minor accidents. Review: Best HDD case I’ve ever used - I’m really excited that a company finally made an easy to install, inexpensive, sturdy SATA external case for 2.5” drives. I bought one to use with an internal drive to backup my laptop boot drive, and I’m so pleased. I could’ve installed the drive into this case in my sleep. I plan to buy a couple more for future endeavors. ## Features - Suitable for 2.5 inch SSD and 2.5 inch Hard disk drive - Tool-less design for quick installation process - Plug and Play - Shock resistant - 1 Year warranty ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B06XSWLPMQ | | Best Sellers Rank | #913 in Enclosures | | Brand | ADATA | | Built-In Media | USB | | Color | Red | | Compatible Devices | Laptop | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (10,215) | | Data Transfer Rate | 1 Gigabits Per Second | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 1 Years | | Enclosure Material | Plastic | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04712366969636 | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 2.5 Inches | | Hardware Interface | USB 3.0 | | Hardware Platform | PC & Gaming Consoles | | Item Weight | 0.07 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | ADATA | | Memory Storage Capacity | 1 GB | | Supported Devices Quantity | 1 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ADATA - **Color:** Red - **Hardware Interface:** USB 3.0 - **Hardware Platform:** PC & Gaming Consoles - **Material:** Plastic ## Images ![XPG EX500 Tool-Free SATA III USB 3.1 External Enclosure for Hard Drive and Solid State Drive (AEX500U3-CRD) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ud2aD3YEL.jpg) ![XPG EX500 Tool-Free SATA III USB 3.1 External Enclosure for Hard Drive and Solid State Drive (AEX500U3-CRD) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51yA6yIb9hL.jpg) ![XPG EX500 Tool-Free SATA III USB 3.1 External Enclosure for Hard Drive and Solid State Drive (AEX500U3-CRD) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51zznFuM7qL.jpg) ![XPG EX500 Tool-Free SATA III USB 3.1 External Enclosure for Hard Drive and Solid State Drive (AEX500U3-CRD) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51oyWKMLCbL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Hardware Platform** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The easiest installation *by D***R on January 9, 2020* I've never installed a hard drive in a case before so I just unpacked it to look and figure it out, but after 2 minutes the drive was installed almost without me noticing it.

I bought one to use with an internal drive to backup my laptop boot drive, and I’m so pleased. I could’ve installed the drive into this case in my sleep.

I use this on client work sites and it hasn't broken yet. It can be a little tricky to get drives out but that's the trade-off for being heavy duty and weatherproof. If I were to buy this again, I'd see if there is a USB-C version available, just to carry one less cable, though. ## Frequently Bought Together - ADATA AEX500U3 CRD External hard drive enclosure BLACK/RED - ADATA HD710 Pro 2TB USB 3.1 IP68 Waterproof/Shockproof/Dustproof Ruggedized External Hard Drive, Black (AHD710P-2TU31-CBK) - WD 2TB My Passport portable external storage, external hard drive, USB 3.0, portable HDD with software for device management, backup and password protection, works with PC, Xbox &Playstation, Red --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.uy/products/42191480-xpg-ex500-tool-free-sata-iii-usb-3-1-external](https://www.desertcart.uy/products/42191480-xpg-ex500-tool-free-sata-iii-usb-3-1-external) --- *Product available on Desertcart Uruguay* *Store origin: UY* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
