External SATA3.0 HDD Enclosure

[tecnica]

Hello, just wanna check which external SAT3.0 HDD enclosure do you all recommend? I am using the WD20EARS and was searching through Shopee, found this (https://shopee.sg/product/315066502/13835818332?smtt=0.204310275-1640321091.9) but the seller told me it is incompatible?

I took a look at the connector behind my HDD, SATA3.0 correct leh? Am i missing anything? Sorry i lost touch with PC parts for some years already, if anyone can help me with this, TIA

not all internal 3.5" sata hdd work with external 3.5" cases. if you buy a case and it doesnt work, then the hdd can only be used in a pc

i have no idea. if you have data just take out and sell it away. smaller 2.5 inch laptop hdd works well with usb 3 to sata

Buy External to convert to Internal is playing Lottery.
Internal to External is for RAID or NAS.

That lottery has better odds than hoping to get a good-paying job with a NUS/NTU degree

research not full proof one.
like how i buy External 2.5 HDD after research on youtube from people who open them up and then open up myself only to find mine don't have SATA only USB3.
therefore cannot use them as SATA HDD.
