01HARD DRIVES
Gold-toned storage for the modern desk
A slender block of gold-toned metal sits quietly on your workspace, transforming internal storage into an accessible external companion. Its clean lines and metallic sheen suggest precision engineering rather than mere utility.
The Simplecom SE221 accepts standard 2.5-inch SATA hard drives and solid state drives, offering rapid data access via USB-C. It suits professionals who value both performance and aesthetic consistency in their tech setup.

MATERIALS
Durable aluminium alloy construction
Crafted from solid aluminium alloy, the enclosure provides a robust shell that protects the drive within while maintaining a lightweight profile at 75 grams. The material choice is not merely cosmetic; it facilitates effective heat dissipation, allowing sustained high-speed transfers without thermal buildup affecting performance.
CONNECTIVITY
Reversible USB-C with broad compatibility
Featuring a next-generation USB Type-C reversible interface, the device connects seamlessly to modern laptops and desktops. The included USB-C to USB-C cable plugs in either way, eliminating fiddling in low light. A provided USB-C to USB-A adapter ensures compatibility with older ports, bridging the gap between legacy systems and current standards.
PERFORMANCE
High-speed data transfer capability
Utilising the USB 3.1 Gen 1 interface, the enclosure supports data transfer rates up to 5Gbps. Internally, it leverages the SATA III 6Gb/s interface, optimised for solid state drives and UASP acceleration. This combination ensures that large files move quickly, reducing wait times during backups or creative workflows.
INSTALLATION
Effortless drive mounting process
Designed for simplicity, the installation process allows users to mount a compatible 2.5-inch SATA drive in seconds. The design accommodates both 7mm and 9.5mm thickness drives, covering most common consumer and enterprise models. An LED activity indicator provides visual feedback when data is being read or written, confirming connection status at a glance.
