i-tec MySafe AluBasic MYSAFEU312 — 2.5" SATA Aluminium Enclosure

An aluminium-bodied case that turns any 2.5" SATA SSD or HDD into cool-running USB storage.
2.5" SATA HDD/SSDAluminium bodyUSB 3.0 · 5 Gbit/sBus-powered

The i-tec MySafe AluBasic Advance (MYSAFEU312) is an aluminium external enclosure for a single 2.5-inch SATA HDD or SSD, made for users who want sturdier protection and better heat dissipation than a plastic case. Identified by part number MYSAFEU312, it accepts any 2.5-inch SATA I/II/III drive up to 9.5 mm, connects over USB-A 3.0 at up to 5 Gbit/s and draws power from the USB port. Typically in stock with fast delivery across Cyprus.

Before you buy — compatibility
Fits one 2.5-inch SATA I/II/III HDD or SSD up to 9.5 mm thick only — not 3.5-inch or taller drives. The drive is secured inside with the included screws. It connects through a 50 cm USB-A cable and is bus-powered, so a free USB-A port is needed; for USB-C-only laptops add a USB-C adapter (such as the i-tec U31TYPEC). The drive is not included.

Key Features

 
Aluminium body for cooling
The solid aluminium housing pulls heat away from the drive and shields it better than plastic, so it suits an SSD or HDD used regularly rather than just occasionally.
 
USB 3.0 up to 5 Gbit/s
The USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 connection transfers at up to 5 Gbit/s and remains backward compatible with USB 2.0 for use on almost any computer.
 
Secured and bus-powered
The drive screws securely in place with the included screws, a 50 cm USB-A cable is bundled, and the enclosure powers from the USB port with no separate adapter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the MYSAFEU312 work with both HDDs and SSDs?
Yes. It accepts any 2.5-inch SATA I/II/III hard drive or SSD up to 9.5 mm thick, secured with the included screws.
Does it need a power adapter?
No. It is bus-powered through the bundled 50 cm USB-A cable, so there is no separate power supply.
How is it different from the plastic MySafe Easy (MYSAFEU313)?
The AluBasic has a solid aluminium body for better heat dissipation and protection and screws the drive in place, while the Easy is a lighter plastic slide-in case. Both connect over USB-A 3.0 at up to 5 Gbit/s.
Can I connect it to a USB-C laptop?
It has a USB-A plug, so for USB-C-only laptops use a USB-C adapter such as the i-tec U31TYPEC.
Singular Expert Insight
The AluBasic sits a step above the plastic MySafe Easy: the aluminium shell dissipates heat and protects the drive better, which matters for a 2.5-inch SSD or HDD you leave connected and use often. Speed is the same USB 3.0 5 Gbit/s though, so if you want a faster 10 Gbit/s link choose a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 enclosure instead. Drop in a 2.5-inch SATA SSD for a cool, reliable external drive.

Buyer's Guide

Buy it if
You want a sturdy aluminium 2.5-inch SATA enclosure with good heat dissipation for an SSD or HDD in regular use, over USB-A 3.0.
Skip it if
You need USB-C or 10 Gbit/s speeds, a tool-free slide-in case, or support for 3.5-inch or thicker-than-9.5 mm drives.
Also consider
The cheaper plastic MySafe Easy (MYSAFEU313 / MYSAFEU314), or a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 enclosure for 10 Gbit/s.
