In just a few simple steps, the original, factory-installed SSD or HDD can be transformed into a sleek new USB 3.0 external storage device to store and backup documents, photos, music, and movies. The enclosure is made of durable aluminum. The result is a design that is sturdy yet ultra light and easy to carry, and includes a handy travel pouch to protect the drive against scratches during transport.
