 Not a long term solution Jun 24, 2008
By John Mike
"John Mike"
This product is good if you are in a jam where you just need to save a hard drive. It is not a long term solution to keep the hard drive in the enclosure due to it being very cheaply made.
Pros:
Included is the aluminum enclosure, a USB cable with an extra end in case you still have USB 1.1, a mini screw driver to secure one end, and a little slip case for the enclosure.
Cons:
The USB adapter on the drive is mounted in crooked, so when you plug in the USB cable, it comes out crooked. If you are looking to buy this you have at least a mild understanding of computers so you won't need the manual, but read it for fun. There are spelling mistakes, it references two lights on the enclosure when there is just one, and it also references a CD-ROM with drivers on it that is not included, even though you don't need the disc.
I saw another review saying it doesn't have a fan. It does not need a fan because the drive is against the aluminum case, which acts as a passive heater which is completely adequate.
This enclosure is a quick fix to recover some data. I would not keep a valuable drive in this.

 life saver Mar 08, 2007
By Joshua E. Ahlquist
"The quist"
I recently bought this Hard Drive case after using one at work and I got one just in time. My laptop motherboard blew up and i had no way of getting the files from my hard drive back. So i removed the hard drive plugged it in the case and plugged the case into my desktop and almost instantly the hard rive popped up allowing me to copy over my files that I thought where gone forever. This truly is a life saver!

Great product! Mar 03, 2008
By Heidi Pemberton
This is a very good product it may seem cheap but it does what it needs to.
I had no issues getting it to work just plugged it in and it worked just fine. It comes with all you need to install hard drive.
Here are the pros
1. cheap
2. slim
3. made of aluminum to help get rid of heat
4. works with Macs and windows
I would have a con list but I can think of any

Same as Sabrent case, just cheaper! not bad at all! Jan 17, 2009
By Bone
"JLLaser-com"
This is exactly the same car that is sold under the Sabrent name and it's 1/3 the price of that one.
Not a bad damn deal!!!
XP and up don't need to install anything, just toss the disk that it comes with, it's meant for windows 98 and older. These devices are set to USB standards for 2.0 and it's all just plug and play. Before closing the case up and putting the screws in just go ahead and start it up and make sure that your drive is accessible. It it's not just move the jumper until you figure out the right setting for it.
Just make sure that you have the 2.5" drive set to either master or single (the jumper setting, normally single is without a jumper).
Also be careful with the screws for the top of the case they will strip out easily if you try to TIGHTEN them too much.

Did the job, and works great! Apr 28, 2008
By Brad Folk
After my second hand laptop failed I salvaged the 40Gb hard drive and ordered this enclosure. It works great for me and was very easy to install. Fits perfectly to 2.5" laptop hard drives; 1 connection to the front panel and 2 screws - very simple design.
Some reviews complain about ventilation for overheating, but I can only see it getting hot if you use it for a long period of time transferring large files across a USB 1.0 connection. Most of the time its quite cool idle on USB 2.0.
The package comes with a screwdriver to install the screws, a 'Y-cable' for additional devices to connect to the same USB port (which I've never used), a black cloth cover for the case and the external case (silver).
Works great!
