Excellent

jefflowestudios Sep 16, 2009

Great price, fast shipping and just as described. Now I don't have to throw out this old hard drive, works great for temp storage, testing new programs, downloads, etc. Can't say enough about it.

Poor Construction

mastersnow from Atlanta, GA, Aug 24, 2009

As far as function, this enclosure works well enough if you're in a pinch, but it's not something I would recommend if you intend to use the case for any amount of time. Drive installation is just about as simple as it comes, although the plastic buttons that hold the case together sometimes stick and it's not hot-swappable. The connectors are a very snug fit, making it difficult to swap HDDs, but ensure good connectivity. Since this enclosure does not have a fan (but is still quite noisy), it can become quite hot in a short amount of time and when it begins to heat up, there's a noticeable drag in speed. Overall construction is disappointing. The first day I had it, the black plastic became separated from the metal -- it's all connected by some sort of tacky glue that never properly sets so can be pushed back in place relatively well -- and after just one month of owning this enclosure, the entire front panel fell off while it was just sitting on my desk.

Can't beat it for the money

makgambit from Cleveland, OH, Aug 15, 2009

Its literally a snap to put the hard drive in. There's no fan so it can heat up, but to use as aback up hard drive its perfect. It takes less than five minutes to install and have it plugged in and going.

Old internal hard drive reused!

Anonymous from Sacramento California, Aug 9, 2009

So this product is just as describe. Take a 3.5" internal hard drive put in the case screw a few screws (this is actually optional but it's plenty easy so just go ahead and do it) plug a few plugs and you are done! You have a brand new external hard drive!

Works on OpenBSD

thenitch from Wichita Falls, TX, May 21, 2009

It is inexpensive and does what I expect of it. I bought it to recover some data off of old hard drives (from computers and an old Series 1 TiVo). Since I use a computer operating system that isn't very well known, I'm always concerned whether the hardware I get will be supported by it, but I was able to mount the external drive without any problems. I've recovered the data and now use the external drive to back up my data.
