Any Recommendation on Buying an Encloser for 2.5" SATA to USB 3.0+

I've been looking for a way to access my old HDD content which I extracted from the laptop by replacing it using SDD. Now I am a bit confuse between buying an adaptor, converter or Enclosure.
As there are so many options I am looking for the recommended one if you guys have used it before.
Thanks in Advance.

    Enclosure = turns any SATA HDD into a portable harddrive.
    The most popular ones are for 2.5" (laptop standard harddrive size).

    Orico ones are really popular and good value for money :)

    • Thanks a lot, I was in a bit favour of that just wanted to hear from somebody … just pulling the trigger now.
      Thanks! :)

    • +1 for Orico. The clear case gives it a cool look.

    Vantec are the best enclosures that ive bought, never had one fail on me, i own about 7 of em from old 3.5" usb 2.0 to new 2.5" usb 3.1, I even have an old ide enclosure that is still going strong.

    • Thanks mate, Much Appreciated!

    aliexpress is full of enclosures for sub $10, if you can wait 3 weeks for it to arrive. quality varies, you get what you pay for

    I just received a $12.50 Orico one from Amazon. Thin and flimsy plastic thing. Works fine but I won't travel with it. Too fragile.
