   I'm not sure what "SMART support" means with regard to HDD/SSD   
   enclosures, but I use Orico products, which are as reliable as possible   
   as long as the user is responsible.  By this, I mean that if a user   
   keeps dropping things or tinkering with modern gadgets, the products   
   will not last forever.   
      
   I suggest looking at the product page here:   
      
   https://oricotechs.com/collections/2-5-3-5-sata-enclosure.   
      
   You can buy these products on Amazon or eBay because Orico has its shop   
   on both sites. You can also buy from their website, but keep in mind   
   that the shipment will come from China, whereas Amazon and eBay   
   suppliers have their own warehouses in their respective countries.
