Hands On: AZiO E233U3 2.5″ SATA to USB 3.0 Enclosure

Introduction

Do you need a portable 2.5” hard drive?  If so, take a $22 AZiO E233 enclosure and a $100 2.5” 1TB hard drive, mate them, and connect to just about anything out there.  As long as it is USB 2.0 or USB 3.0.

If you are in the market for a combination like the one above, you will have to decide if this the combination of choice for you, or perhaps one of the all-in-one products like the USB 3.0 GoFlex devices.

I certainly won’t make the decision for you, but hopefully I can provide you what you need to make an informed choice.

What’s In The Box?

We have the typical consumer-style packaging, which gives one a pretty decent idea of what you find inside,

and what it can do.

Inside, you will find the enclosure well protected for the trip from the factory to your home.

Once removed, you find a slim user manual, screwdriver, USB 3.0 cable, and the enclosure.

Finally, we have a couple of close-up shots of a very nice looking enclosure.  In my opinion, a very stylish, sturdy, and nice fitting enclosure.

About Jim Clark

Hello. I’m from the heartland of the U.S. Lots of corn and beans, although Iowa is a lot more than just farmland. It also has a few computer enthusiasts (no, not me!). I’ve been around PCs since I got my 1st PC XT aloooong time ago. WGS is one of the first sites I found centered around WHS. And the best. Every once in awhile, I do get away from the KB and enjoy time with and my wife and our 4 kids. And I do have a day job.

    Hi Jim. Do they have 9.5mm height 1TB drives yet?

    • Jim_Clark

      My bad. It appears 12.5mm is the going height for 1TB drives. For now.
