Hard Drive External Enclosure
The drive enclosure works like it should. I have multiple hard drives that I move around from computer to computer to my Sony Playstation. It's great for moving large amounts of data around. The drive does get very, very hot inside the case and I leave the top off for extended use. If you plan on leaving the drive turned on all the time, I would get one with a built in fan. They make more noise, but run cooler.

Great external case so far
This is an easy enclosure to deal with. I installed a Western Digital 250GB IDE HDD in this case. Installation is easy, with instructions, screws (I've ordered cheapie enclosures and then had to rob an old PC for screws to mount the drive...not here) and good quality, easy connectors to work with. After physically installing the hardware it was off to the PC where WinXP recognized the enclosure and the hard drive and installed automatically. The Windows disk management utility allowed me to format the HDD the way I wanted (file system, partitions, etc.). It's been up & running for about a month now and I would do it all again if I needed another. So, if you've got an extra working hard drive that's just laying on a shelf, why not put it to good use as extra storage with this enclosure? I've learned that with a good USB2.0 connection, I can burn DVDs, audio, or any other data almost as fast as with my internal hard drive. One last note for MAC users: If you are going to use the same external hard drive on a PC & a MAC (yes it can be done), then you will want to format with the FAT32 file system. Any other issues or questions one has can be answered with a simple web search. I hope that this has been helpful. The overall rating should be a 4.5, but that wasn't a choice.

A Worthwhile Product
This enclosure seems to work very well. It is not 'screw free' (and the screwdriver for the small screws was not included) but was easy to use and install and seems to work well. It is a good buy for the price.

cheap
It never did work. Not sure what the problem was because I am very tech savvy. As cheaply made plastic figured that answered it.
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? Cheaper made than it looks.
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? No
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Poor

Definitely Recommended
You can't beat the price! It was so easy to setup. Computer detected it right away without needing to run the provided cd. What else could I ask for? Nothing except for thanks for more storage space.

Easy installation!
I just received this about an hour ago. As soon as I got it I hooked up my IDE HDD. The installation was so simple. I didn't even need to read the manual. I also like the fact that it comes with an on/off button. Since there's no fan and it can overheat I can just turn it off when I'm not using it instead of unplugging it. I was worried if it would work with Vista. I'm so happy to see that it does. If you're running Vista and think you'll need help getting your computer to read the drive go here: http://*****
