Question 1

Does this drive case have a sleep function? i.e...Does it go into sleep mode automatically (spin down) after 10 minutes in idle state?

Accepted Answer

The enclosure is just a housing for a hard drive, it facilitates a USB connection between a bare hard drive and your computer.  If you want (or don't want) the drive to go to sleep, you would need to adjust the power settings for your computer. In Windows 10 these options can be found in Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options > Change Power-Saving Settings then click on "Change Plan Settings" and go through the advanced options to find the hard drive power options.

Question 3

Does this case transfer data from hdd to ssd like Inateck's usb 3.0 to sata converter adapter for 2.5 or 3.5 inch hdd or ssd (which has no case)?

Accepted Answer

I will tell you the purpose fir my purchase of this enclosure. I had purchased a Samsung 850 PRO 256 GB SSD.  With this purchase came software that I installed on the HHD (still installed in my computer). I then installed the SSD into the enclosure and and connected the USB cable between the computer and the enclosure.  It was then that I executed the  software and did a complete clone of the SSD.  I then swapped the SSD with the HHD and was back up and running.  In the end. the HHD became an external HHD.  From the research I have done, I learned that an SSD does have a finite life.  Meaning you can write and re-write just so many times and the SSD will start to wear out.  To keep this from happening sooner, anything one wants to save should be saved to the external hard drive, thus prolonging the life of the SSD.  Before I learned about the availability of the Samsung 850 PRO SSD, I purchased a Toshiba 256 SSD.  I installed that SSD into my desktop and had to build the software from scratch, OS and all the other software which took me a couple of days to complete.  I know the Samsung SSD I have told you about here cost more than most SSD's. But I think that the extra cost is worth every penny extra that you will spend on the Samsung.  The entire process from the physical setup until I was back up and running with the SSD took me about 1 hour.  I know I gave you more information than you were asking about and hope this is of some help to you.

Question 4

Hi there, does it have dual voltage, since Ill be using it 220v, not 110v? thanks for your help

Accepted Answer

Hello, I use the case with an older drive that is dual voltage.  I would suggest you verify the drive is capable of working with dual voltage.  I am also on a 220 Volt system in Afghanistan.  I hope this helps you.
