It’s nothing against the Gauntlet enclosure itself, I’ve never used the backup button on any of these types of products myself. I’ve used it before, but personally I don’t care for it, I do my backups manually. The PCClone EX software works fine, but it’s basic stuff. This software is actually popular with devices like this one, I’ve seen it with many enclosures and docks that have the backup button on them. To use the backup button you’ll need to pop in the CD and install the software which happens to be PCClone Ex Lite. You just push the hard drive into the connections and then slide it back into the enclosure then secure the screws. To install a hard drive in the Gauntlet you’ll need to remove two screws and then pull the end off exposing the circuit board and SATA connections.

With an elegant all aluminum design and high quality craftsmanship, the Patriot Gauntlet SuperSpeed USB 2.5″ enclosure merges the speed and performance of USB 3.0 technology with portability. On the back you’ll find the USB 3 connection, USB power connection, backup button and an LED indicator. The back comes off to install the hard drive, it’s held on by two screws. On the top is the Gauntlet logo, and the front has the Patriot logo. The enclosure is black aluminum and looks very nice, even empty it’s fairly heavy. Inside you’ll find the enclosure itself, USB 3.0 cable, USB power cable and software disc. The Gauntlet comes in a nice looking box and it’s packaged well. Included with the enclosure is an extra USB power cable in case you might need it and the enclosure even has a backup button on it to be used in conjunction with the included software to make your backups quick and easy. The Gauntlet is extremely well made of aluminum, it looks great and it’s inexpensive when compared to others, even those that are no-name or generic brands. Today for review Patriot has sent me of the Gauntlet USB 3.0 enclosure for 2.5” hard drives and SSDs. With USB 3.0 becoming more mainstream more companies are coming out with compatible products, which makes for more competition which in turn brings the prices down, which is a good thing for the consumer. I was an early adopter and what was out there was limited and expensive, but most new technologies are. One of the most outstanding features of this tool is that it allows you to see how the changes you make will affect the disks and partitions before it goes to the Operation Pending section, where they will occur in real time.USB 3.0 is getting more and more mainstream and it’s nice to see it. Additionally, this software has a disk space analyzer which helps you visualize everything and anything on your computer that takes up space. This software also supports different file systems, including NTFS and FAT32, and can transform a GPT disk to an MBR ( what's the difference between GPT and MBR?) and vice versa. These premium features include data and partition recovery and the ability to copy source drive content to an SSD or HDD. MiniTool has three different payment versions, which range from a $50 annual subscription to a $159 perpetual license. It is available in English, Italian, French, Korean, and German.Īlthough this tool is free to download, most of its standout features are unavailable in the free version. MiniTool Partition Wizard is a disk management software that can clone, format, and make other changes to disk drives and partitions.
