External enclosure for SSD?

[MasturB]

Hey all,

Am going to replace my internal HDD with a new SSD. Any recommendations for an external enclosure so I can clone to the SSD, or "will pretty much anything do"?

Thanks.

2.5" + 3.5" (my recommendation):

Those enclosures support UASP, your USB connection type (USB 3.0 A) and OS X sleep settings.

If you just want to use it once to do the clone, then yeah... pretty much any USB enclosure will do the trick. But if you want to keep the enclosure and use it later for storage, then look for a USB3 enclosure that supports UASP. This Inatech model is very popular and works well.

I have this one its nice because its tool-free. So say I need to work on someones laptop I can pull their drive and pop it in this and I don't need screwdrivers. Its only 10$ and USB3.
