- What drives fit the Edge DiskGO Pocket?
- It takes one 2.5-inch SATA drive, either a hard drive or an SSD, up to 9.5mm thick. It does not take NVMe or mSATA drives.
- Does it work with USB-C laptops?
- The enclosure uses USB-A. You need a USB-C to USB-A adapter or a USB-C to USB-A cable to connect it to a USB-C-only laptop.
- How fast is it?
- The bridge is USB 3.2 Gen 1, rated at 5Gbps. Real speed depends on the drive inside; a SATA SSD will feel much faster than an old laptop hard drive.
- Does it need a power adapter?
- No. It draws power from the USB port, which is fine for 2.5-inch drives. Very power-hungry drives may not spin up on weak ports.
- Is it worth it over a ready-made portable drive?
- It makes sense if you already own a spare 2.5-inch drive. If you are buying storage new, a ready-made portable SSD is smaller and faster.
- What is in the box?
- The enclosure and a USB cable. You supply the drive and may need a screwdriver for the drive screws.
- Where is the Edge DiskGO Pocket cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $38.99, as of our latest check.
