Bootable Virtual ODD - Recognized as physical CD DVD Blu-ray ROM. Bootable Virtual HDD - Recognized as physical HDD or Removable drive from VHD or VMDK. you can use maximum 4 virtual drives(At the same time, you can also use write protection function). VHD Tool++ is Dedicated programs for virtual HDD(you can download, see readme file from above link). Bootable Virtual FDD - Recognized as physical FDD, but old computers don't work.

SuperSpeed USB 3.0 (up to 10x as fast as USB 2.0). Review: Add a Y-splitter power cable if it seems to freeze on the load screen - I was getting tired of messing around trying to get all my diagnostic ISOs working on a flash drive with multiboot utilities, so I got this enclosure and it's been my favorite techie toy/tool ever since. Zalman makes a similar unit, but Iodd is the originator and theirs work better than Zalman's version - I suspect because Zalman uses cheaper components. If you work on systems with USB 2.0 ports I'd recommend you get a USB 3.0 Y-splitter power cable for this, as even 2.5" low-power HDDs will draw -just- enough power that it won't have the amps necessary to get you past the Iodd boot screen. If you have an SSD drive it will probably draw low enough power that even a single USB 2.0 port @ 500mA could run it, but I haven't had a chance to test that yet with my USB multimeter tool because I don't keep spare SSDs laying around. Review: Fast, Light, and Useful - I had a bit of an issue using this on my Toshiba L755, until I realised I had 'Legacy USB Support' turned off in the BIOS. Now I keep a crop of current Linux ISO files on it, in case I have to switch distros. I used a SiliconPower SSD, since I had one laying about. It's incredibly fast. It also weighs next to nothing. The controls are a bit fiddly, but it will take about five minutes to get comfortable using them. Screwing down the enclosure, on the other hand, was a bit of a nightmare; only do this if you intend never removing the HDD/SDD you put inside. They sent me the black one instead of the silver, but I'm not returning it. It could be bright pink and I'd keep it. ## Features - Recognized as Bootable ODD which can be used as DVD, Blu-ray Rom for booting by selecting a ISO file. - Write Blocker/WinToGo/AutoSleep/Safely Removal/Firmware Updater - Recognized as Bootable HDD for Windows 8,LInux,Mac OS.

Now I keep a crop of current Linux ISO files on it, in case I have to switch distros. I used a SiliconPower SSD, since I had one laying about. It's incredibly fast. It also weighs next to nothing.

They sent me the black one instead of the silver, but I'm not returning it. It could be bright pink and I'd keep it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A huge DVD wallet in a small drive *by D***L on January 9, 2017* I love this thing! Put a 250gb SSD in here, partitioned it into ISO and Storage drives and boom! I've got a portable CD drive with images of multiple operating systems and recovery tools. It's fairly easy to use and works 99% of the time. The only con that I have is that sometimes it won't boot up and I'll have to disconnect it and reconnect a couple of times. Not sure if that's a problem with the PC, the USB cable, or the drive. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.id/products/18487805-iodd-2531-silver-usb-3-0-external-hard-drive-enclosure](https://www.desertcart.id/products/18487805-iodd-2531-silver-usb-3-0-external-hard-drive-enclosure) --- *Product available on Desertcart Indonesia* *Store origin: ID* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
