Tool-free and lightweight for ultimate portability
The enclosure’s compact design and lightweight construction provides a highly portable solution for adding external data storage to any device with USB-C™. It tucks easily into a laptop bag or carrying case for portable storage, and it’s completely tool-free so you can install your drives quickly on the fly.
