USB & USB 2.0 Drive Enclosure / Generic Drivers

Drivers are listed by Manufacturer and Operating System

Lately, we've been getting a ton of requests for USB and USB 2.0 drive enclosure drivers.  The drivers for enclosures are difficult to find and a bit confusing to use due to the seemingly endless combination of look alike cases and the variety of onboard electronics. 
Needless to say, the onboard electronics is the determining factor.  Check inside the case for the bridge manufacturer and try one of the drivers I dug up, below.  I've listed as many as I can find. 

These drivers are generic and may or may not work with your enclosure. 

I suggest that you first contact the retailer that sold the device, for the correct driver version specifically developed for your enclosure.

These drivers are provided as is, as a courtesy to our readers.  Generic Drivers should be treated as if they were Beta.  Use these drivers at your own risk.  No support is provided.  If you need support for your enclosure contact the retailer that you purchased the enclosure from.

Technical Support and self help assistance for other USB Issues can be found at USBMan
