does the job September 5, 2010 Jim Hooper (McLeansville, NC USA) For the price, this enclosure does what it is supposed to. I used a 60GB drive and it only required one power source, a single USB connection. The screws are very small and the screwdriver is not a quality tool. This is not an easy quick swap, so if you will be replacing the drive frequently, you should get a screwless enclosure instead.
Enclosure IDE 2.5 August 29, 2010 José Cuando compre este producto decia que la capacidad máxima era de 500Gb, pero
ahora que vino, la capacidad máxima es de 120Gb, me enviaron un producto equivocado,
si usted lo va a comprar exija que sea de la capacidad que anuncian.
This product is not the right to buy, this is only 120Gb capacity, and said he had bought which was 500GB, do not buy it!
Bad product.
Not Bad For the Money August 27, 2010 Boilermate (Upstate NY) This probably wouldn't be my first choice for a permanent installation, but for a temporary solution it was perfect. I bought this to help a friend recover files from a computer that refused to boot. He needed to recover files before a Windows re-install. This did the job perfectly.
Why not a permanent solution? First off, the case is really thin and cheap. (And plain aluminum, not blue.) Secondly, with my ham hands, I would never be able to put those tiny screws in to permanently secure it, and Mrs. Boilermate said she would have trouble with them, too. My enclosure didn't come with any instructions, but none were needed.
So for less than six bucks it did the job it it was supposed to. However, I would look elsewhere for a more long term solution.
Works well, but not blue August 24, 2010 Captain Cracker First things first, this enclosure is not blue, as listed. It is silver, and looks very similar to my other enclosure, which causes me some confusion, and is why I bought (or attempted to) a blue one.
Otherwise, it works fairly well. Can get a little hot since it lacks fans, but keep it off of any insulating surface and it's fine.
Enclosure Review August 21, 2010 smithroc88 This enclosure is pretty good for the price. This enclosure may not offer the highest transfer rate or best connection and casing, but it does do the job. I bought this item to try to see if I could recover any data from a mechanically failed hard drive... did not work but I still have an enclosure in the event that I want to use it for a backup HD.
