Customer feedback reports easy setup, sturdy-feeling construction, compatibility with HDDs and SSDs, and positive impressions of functionality and speed. The supplied feedback also describes transfers around 3.5GB's per second and 400 MB/s sustained write speed, figures that differ in scale from the listing's 5 Gbps interface claim and should not be treated as verified performance.
