ICY BOX IB-273STU3 2.5" HDD/SSD External Enclosure, 1-Bay, USB 3.2 Gen 1, SATA, Black

The ICY BOX IB-273STU3 is an external storage enclosure designed to convert a standard internal 2.5-inch SATA drive into a portable device. It utilizes a USB 3.2 Gen 1 host interface to handle data transfer with a computer, supporting drives with a physical height of up to 9.5 mm. The internal Serial ATA interface provides compatibility with different storage hardware components. This enclosure is intended for users who need to transport volumes of data or create external backups across Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms. The unit supports the standard SATA interface found in most consumer laptops and compact desktop drives.

The chassis is constructed from a combination of aluminium and plastic, measuring 80 mm in width, 130 mm in depth, and 14 mm in height. It draws its required operating power directly through the USB connection, which eliminates the need for a separate external power supply. The package includes a USB cable, a dedicated screwdriver to assist with the assembly, and a protective travel pouch for transport. This device is designed for immediate use, requiring no additional driver software or configuration for modern operating systems.
