The GRAUGEAR G-5251 is a black external storage drive enclosure for 5.25" SATA optical or data drives. It converts an internal 5.25" Serial ATA drive into an external USB- or eSATA-connected device compatible with notebooks and desktop PCs that lack internal optical bays. The enclosure has a robust aluminum housing with blue LEDs on three sides and a front power switch; a USB Type-C to Type-A adapter is included for use with Type-C ports.

Advantages

Its aluminium construction offers protection and passive heat dissipation, while the integrated power switch and included Type-C adapter simplify connection and operation. The compact external design lets you reuse internal drives as portable optical or storage devices.
