通常可以利用用于内部安装的硬盘驱动器或 SSD(drive or SSD)的非常优惠的价格，并将其放入外部机箱以供便携式使用。曾经，在外部机箱中安装驱动器需要工具、耐心以及将连接电缆(connecting cable)挤入非常小的空间的能力。但是，如今(Nowadays)，制造商正在使该过程尽可能轻松。外壳也非常好看。带有UASP的Inateck Tool Free USB 3.0 HDD 外壳(HDD Enclosure)是一款美观、轻便的外壳，可实现简单的安装和高速访问(speed access)。它是否兑现了它的承诺？要找出答案，请阅读此评论：
什么是 UASP？
UASP 代表USB 附加 SCSI 协议(USB Attached SCSI Protocol)。它是一种用于将数据移入和移出USB 存储设备的(USB storage)计算机协议(computer protocol)，它承诺比标准USB 协议(USB protocol)具有更高的传输速度。它是随USB 3.0引入的，但如果硬件允许，它也可以向后兼容USB 2.0。它应该比标准USB 协议(USB protocol)快得多，尤其是在与固态驱动器一起使用时。Microsoft从Windows 8开始提供它，Apple从OS X Mountain Lion开始提供它。
注意：(NOTE:)该驱动器在以前版本的Windows 和 OS X(Windows and OS X)上仍然可以正常工作，但不能以UASP速度运行。您可以阅读有关该协议的更详细的技术性Wikipedia 文章。(Wikipedia article)

硬件规格
Inateck是一家德国公司，在(Inateck)美国(USA)和欧洲(Europe)提供各种精心设计的外围设备。驱动器尺寸(drive size)为 136 x 84 x 11 毫米或 5.35 x 3.31 x 4.17 英寸。您可以在此处(here)查看此附件的官方页面。

它真的是免费的吗？
简短的回答：是的。🙂 打开外壳很简单，只需按下它的顶部并将其滑向Inateck 商标(Inateck trademark)。盖子会向后滑动一点，然后您可以将其抬起。
在里面，很清楚驱动器应该去哪里。
出于本次审查的目的，我们使用了 7mm Corsair Force LS SATA3 60gb SSD。
在Inateck Tool Free USB 3.0硬盘(HDD Enclosure)盒内安装HDD 和 SSD(HDDs and SSDs Inside)
根据 7 毫米驱动器的说明，我们打开外壳并在已经在盖子中的那个上面安装了额外的泡沫贴纸。(foam sticker)
然后将驱动器压入机箱是一件简单的事情，
将其牢固地滑到其连接器上。
然后，更换盖子。没有比这更容易的了。
我们启动了一台运行Windows 8.1的(Windows 8.1)联想 B590(Lenovo B590)笔记本电脑，将USB 线(USB cord)连接到驱动器和计算机上，然后……什么都没有。说什么？？？(what???)
有趣的来了
好的，所以它不是什么都没有。Windows 8.1 发出了一点识别的声音，但实际上并没有识别驱动器。因为，当然，它还没有被格式化。如何格式化电脑看不到的驱动器？甚至磁盘管理管理单元(Disk Management snap-in)也无济于事。在搜索引擎领域的快速浏览显示，Windows经常遇到新安装的SSD(SSDs)的问题。不过，没有人真正解释为什么让我们满意。因此，作为勇敢的硬件(intrepid hardware)黑客，我们将驱动器连接到运行OS X Mavericks的 2011 年(OS X Mavericks)MacBook Air，它立即识别出新硬件。那时使用OS X是一件简单的事(OS X)的磁盘工具(Disk Utility)将驱动器格式化为一个分区，FAT，弹出新格式化的驱动器，并将其重新附加到联想(Lenovo)。快！我们给了微软(Microsoft)一个布朗克斯的欢呼(Bronx cheer)，给了我们自己一个掌声，然后继续前进。
判决
Inateck Tool Free USB 3.0 (Inateck Tool Free USB 3.0) HDD Enclosure with UASP正是它所说的：免工具(tool free)。您只需要自己的双手即可在其中安装HDD 或 SDD(HDD or SDD)并将其连接到您的计算机。它制作精良，重量轻，外观美观且坚固。它配备了适合流行的HDD 和 SSD(HDDs and SSDs)所需的一切，以及一条漂亮的粗USB3 电缆(USB3 cable)和清晰的书面说明。将驱动器放入其中非常简单明了。绝对是赢家。
Reviewing The Inateck Tool Free USB 3.0 HDD Enclosure With UASP
Іt's often possible to take advantage of a really good price on a hard drive or SSD intended for internal installation, and put it into an externаl enclosure for portable use. Once, installing driνes in externаl enclosures required tоols, patience and the ability to squish a connectіng cablе into a verу small space. Nowadays, though, manufacturers are making the process as painless as possible. And the enclosures cаn be very nice to look at, as well. The Inateck Tool Free USB 3.0 HDD Enclosure with UASP is an аttractive, lightweight enclosure that promises simple installation and high speed access. Does it live up tо its promisеs? To find out, read this review:
What Is UASP?
UASP stands for USB Attached SCSI Protocol. It's a computer protocol used to move data to and from USB storage devices, that promises higher transfer speeds than the standard USB protocol. It was introduced with USB 3.0, but if the hardware allows it, can be backwards compatible with USB 2.0 as well. It is supposed to be noticeably faster than the standard USB protocol, especially when used with solid state drives. Microsoft made it available starting with Windows 8, and Apple made it available starting with OS X Mountain Lion.
NOTE: The drive will still work fine with previous versions of Windows and OS X, but not at UASP speeds. You can read a somewhat technical Wikipedia article that goes into more detail about the protocol.
Unboxing The Inateck Tool Free USB 3.0 HDD Enclosure With UASP
The Inateck Tool Free USB 3.0 Enclosure with UASP arrives in a glossy black cardboard box, with an illustration of the enclosure on the front.
The back of the box has a list of features and specifications. It's designed for use with 7 mm/9.5 mm SATA HDDs and SSDs.
Inside the box, you'll find the enclosure, a brief instruction manual, a USB cable, and a small foam sticker that is used to help 7 mm drives fit snugly in the internal space.
The enclosure has a matte black finish and softly rounded corners, giving it an attractive appearance. It also has a blue LED power light, one USB port, and an on/off switch. The on/off switch is an especially welcome addition.
Hardware Specifications
Inateck is a German company that offers a wide range of well designed peripherals, available in the USA and in Europe. The drive size is 136 x 84 x 11 mm, or 5.35 x 3.31 x 4.17 inches. You can see the official page for this enclosure here.
It shows several photos of the enclosure, lists the technical specifications, and allows you to choose the national version of Amazon you wish to order it from.
Is It Really Tool Free?
The short answer: Yes. 🙂 Opening the enclosure is a simple matter of pressing down on the top of it and sliding it toward the Inateck trademark. The lid will slide back a little and you can then lift it up.
Inside, it's quite clear where the drive should go.
For the purposes of this review, we used a 7mm Corsair Force LS SATA3 60gb SSD.
Installing HDDs and SSDs Inside The Inateck Tool Free USB 3.0 HDD Enclosure
We opened the enclosure and installed the extra foam sticker on top of the one that was already in the lid, according to the instructions for a 7mm drive.
It was then a simple matter to press the drive into the enclosure,
Slide it firmly onto its connector.
Then, replace the lid. It doesn't get much easier than that.
We booted a Lenovo B590 laptop running Windows 8.1, attached the USB cord to the drive and to the computer, and… Nothing. Say what???
Now Comes The Fun Part
OK, so it wasn't exactly nothing. Windows 8.1 gave a little chirp of recognition, but didn't actually recognize the drive. Because, of course, it had not yet been formatted. How do you format a drive that the computer can't see? Even the Disk Management snap-in was no help. A quick trip through search-engine land disclosed that Windows often has problems with newly installed SSDs. No one really explained why to our satisfaction, though. So, being the intrepid hardware hackers that we are, we connected the drive to a 2011 MacBook Air running OS X Mavericks, which promptly recognized the new hardware. It was then a simple matter to use OS X's Disk Utility to format the drive as one partition, FAT, eject the newly formatted drive, and reattach it to the Lenovo. Presto! We gave Microsoft a Bronx cheer and ourselves a round of applause and carried on.
Verdict
The Inateck Tool Free USB 3.0 HDD Enclosure with UASP is exactly what it says it is: tool free. You need nothing more than your own hands to install an HDD or SDD in it and connect it to your computer. It is well made, lightweight, attractive to look at and sturdy. It comes with everything you need to fit popular HDDs and SSDs, along with a nice thick USB3 cable and clearly written instructions. Putting the drive in it was straightforward and simple. Definitely a winner.
