Inateck FE2005 USB 3.0 Tool-Less 2.5″ HDD Enclosure Review

Anvil’s Storage Utilities

Anvil’s Storage Utilities is a new benchmarking utility that is completely free to download and has the ability to test mainly hard drives and solid state drives, but also any other form of storage medium that you can throw at it. As well as testing the drive in a variety of benchmarking tests, it also has a drive endurance test that consistently reads and writes data to the selected medium to give days, months and potentially even years of use in a shorter period of time to see how the drive copes in the longer term.

Compressible Data

The FE2005 Enclosure shows some good results here in Anvil as well with sequential read speeds right on par. The random speeds are quite a bit lower and so are the read speeds, just as to be expected when comparing SATA with USB3.

Incompressible Data

Incompressible data is a lot harder to process and the scores are lower than the above. They still follow the same scheme with writing scores on par while random and write speeds suffer a little on the USB interface.
