A Good HDD enclosure

G0rgeousJunkB to Data Hoarder@selfhosted.forumEnglish · 1 year ago

I need to connect my 3.5" HDD to a laptop externally. I’ve figured out that I need an HDD enclosure to do so. Can someone suggest a reliable enclosure that won’t harm my HDDs? I’m using it to back up my 4TB My Passport to an 8TB WD Blue. I’m not in the US, so please recommend a specific brand or an item from eBay or Ali express.

Thanks in advance.
