Description
2.5-Inch 4-Bay SSD Enclosure
I designed this enclosure to organize my external SSDs. As the number of external SSDs with various enclosures in my studio grew, I needed a solution. The result is this 4-bay design. It accommodates virtually all 2.5-inch SSDs from brands like SanDisk, WD, Samsung, and Crucial. One bay is for 9mm SSDs and the top bay for 7mm SSDs. I've tested them all; there's ample clearance. Most of the enclosures I downloaded were either ill-fitting or too tightly dimensioned.
The screws are M3 x 8mm or 12mm – 6-point with a 4mm screw head. 2-bay and 8-bay versions are also planned for future release. As I also own several Samsung T7 SSDs, I'm designing a combination enclosure for two T7 and four 2.5-inch SSDs.
For connectivity, I used Sabrent SATA to USB 3.1 cables. They provide the best fit and excellent transfer rates.
I generally print only with PETG-HF. That's my recommendation, although PLA-CF is also feasible.
Please enable support for the holes. A screenshot of the settings is included. I've printed this several times without errors.
I look forward to your feedback and further input!
