Good Deal.......2007-05-24

I bought this for my husband and he loves it, no problems and loves how it looks. User friendly.

Works but with some issues.......2007-04-05

I purchased two of these cases for two 500GB internal SATA drives. I wanted to use them as external drives. The cases cost a little more since they have a dual output - USB2 and eSATA. I thought the eSATA might come in handy if laptops start supporting it.

LIKES: I like the compact size and dual output nature. They are significanly smaller than products that come with cases already and are not that much bigger than the internal drive. The aluminum case does seem to keep the drive fairly cool but I added a small muffin fan blowing on the outside of the case to keep it closer to room temperature.

DISLIKES: Due to the compact nature, the power switch is on the back end (the end where the cables and power brick connects). The drive indicator/power light is also there. I managed to unsolder the LED and mount it on the front through a small hole I drilled near the edge. I ran three wires along the internal edge within a ridge and it all works well. However, for the cost this should have been done. I also had trouble with cheap parts. In particular the connectors on the USB cable did not fit well - they were loose and I kept getting write fault errors. I replaced the cable with a higher quality one I had around and so far it works fine.

In the end, I probably would have purchased a drive with a case already built in and skipped the future compatibility. By the time eSATA makes it to laptops (if ever), the drives will probably be ready for an upgrade anyway. I do not know if the eSATA will be that much faster due to the drive limitations (see eSATA on Wikipedia). Also, I don't know if, and what is the penalty for conversion from an SATA drive to a USB2 port.

Absolute Junk.......2007-04-02

Absolute junk. once you get the drive installed (for which there are no instructions - the instruction booklet only tells you how to install the drivers for various operating systems that no one has anymore), it is VERY difficult to get the computer to recognize it subsequent times. I had to reboot several times each time I want to see my data.

It is what it is.......2007-02-07

I needed a SATAII external enclosure because I accidently bought a SATAII hard drive instead of a PATA drive. I plugged in the wires to the drive and hooked it up to my computer. It worked just as advertised.

The only drawback is that it slightly more difficult to open than my metal gear box that I previously had. The screws are tiny (eyeglass size) and you have to take most of them out to remove the cover. The cover also does not fit just right without some effort. This minor inconvenience is worth it to me to get a good priced enclosure that does what it is supposed to do.
