Anyone tried this Inateck USB3.0 enclosure?

I couldn't find it on Amazon US so it's a German link.

Looks like a nice solid Aluminium box AND has UASP support

Yup - I have that one too ... this is an Aluminium enclosure .. new one

Just wondered if anyone had it, perhaps it's too new on the market and I
couldn't find it outside of Amazon.de

Sorry, didn't read this close enough ! I wonder what the reason is for the new version.
The link still goes to a version that looks like the old one. Nope, error in the link - it is a new Al housing.

Despite the new looks, probably the same as the other Inateck's discussed in other threads.

Note well, they are using A type connector on the device rather than the recommended B type connector.

This means that one would use an A-to-A cable to connect to your Mac or PC.

Normally, storage devices would use an A-to-B, or A-to-microB cable

If/when you get this, be aware that you'll probably need to invest in a few of these non-standard cables, in case you misplace the original.

To me, A to A is a feature. Mini connectors and cables fail. Recommended? By who?

^^^ This - A connector is much more stable and secure !

No doubt A connector is more durable. Even the large USB 3.0 B is quite strong; just huge.

USB-IF is source of recommendations for use cases.
