Non-contractual photos

The visuals on this page are supplied by the manufacturer. They are frequently produced for a whole range — not for the exact model you are viewing: what you see in the photo is never a promise of what is included.

No exchange, return or cancellation will be accepted on the grounds that something seen in a photo (accessory, port, colour, keyboard layout, packaging…) is not found on the delivered product. Only the specifications written on the page are binding for the order.

What the image does not guarantee:

  • Capacity : the capacity printed on the product photographed illustrates the range; the one sold is that of the title and the specifications.
  • Format and interface : 2.5 or 3.5 inch, SATA, NVMe M.2, with or without a heatsink: the photo is not enough to tell.
  • Drives not supplied : external enclosures, docking stations and NAS servers ship without a drive, unless explicitly stated.
  • Accessories : cables, adapters, caddies and screws are supplied only if the specifications say so.
  • Colour : one image often serves several colours, and the shade you see depends on studio lighting as much as on your screen settings; the colour sold is the one in the title and the specifications.
  • Props and accessories : the items shown around the product (cables, stands, decorative objects, content displayed on screen) are not included unless explicitly stated.
  • Packaging : boxes, labels and bundles change with the manufacturer's revisions: the packaging delivered may differ from the one in the photo.

What is binding: the product title, this page's technical specifications, the description and, when provided, the manufacturer's PDF datasheet available in the downloads.

Frequently asked questions about this product

What is in the box, and what type of drive does the MHC201 accept?
The box contains the enclosure, an A-to-C data cable and a C-to-A adapter. The MHC201 takes a 2.5-inch SATA drive, mechanical (HDD) or SSD, both handled by the SATA III protocol: so you can fit it with a drive salvaged from elsewhere.
What throughput can this enclosure sustain?
It is rated at 6 Gbps, with a USB 3.1 Type-C output and the SATA III protocol internally. The VL716 controller chip maintains this link with an SSD as well as with a mechanical drive. The intended use is moving and storing large volumes of data.
My computer only has USB-A ports: can I still use it?
Yes, without buying anything extra: the enclosure is supplied with an A-to-C cable for standard USB-A ports and a C-to-A adapter. A recent Type-C machine and an older computer are both covered from the outset.
Does the drive stop on its own when it is not in use?
Yes. A smart sleep mode puts the drive into hibernation after 10 minutes of inactivity: it stops spinning during idle periods, which extends its lifespan. Useful for an enclosure left permanently connected to an editing or retouching workstation.
Does it work with a Mac, on Linux or on an Android smartphone?
Yes: Windows, macOS, Linux and Android are supported, the enclosure's output being USB 3.1 Type-C. The same drive can therefore move between a workstation, a Mac and an Android mobile.
Is it really portable for everyday use?
Yes: 126 × 81 × 14 mm and 60 g, in a black ABS shell. It slips into a bag pocket next to a laptop — indeed, the manufacturer targets graphic designers and video editors on the move. Stability and portability are the two focuses claimed for this compact format.
Is this enclosure certified and under warranty?
Yes: CE, RoHS and FCC certified, with a 1-year limited warranty. It is new, supplied with its invoice, which serves as the warranty document. Full specifications are given in the datasheet (PDF).
