 Simple and Easy Disk Enclosure November 30, 2008
This is a great economical drive enclosure for hard drives. Simple to install drives and use (plug and play). I have intermittantly used two of these enclosures for over a month with old IDE hard drives. Although the enclosure has no fan, the sturdy aluminum housing adequately dissipates heat.
 It works. It's cheap. It's poorly designed! November 28, 2008
The designers must have been heading out for the weekend when they approved this one!
The gizmo that holds the case upright fits loosely -- not so badly that you'll lose it when you lift it, but it slides right off when pushing/pulling the case into place. I would magic-glue it to the case, but what if I want to lay the case flat next week?
The power switch is located on the back (normal), but it is 2/3rds of the way down the plate and you have to reach down/passed the USB connection to get at it. The power switch is also a pop-out, which it will if you don't tuck the interior wiring smartly to the side.
Then there's the power light. Guess where that is -- on the back! -- where you can't see it! Yeeuch!
Sabrent Hard Drive Enclosure November 25, 2008
The enclosure worked well and enabled me to back up several drives from a
dead computer.
I Like Mine ... November 17, 2008
I bought this product to rescue my stuff from a crashed PC and transfer it to a MAC. It is and does exactly as advertised. Mine did work with the HD jumper in the "Master" position per the instructions. It was set to "Master" when I rescued it from the PC. Otherwise, I would have retained the original setting for the first try.
The instructions do say to spool the disk up to speed before making the USB connection and this is necessary.
My only problem was with the screws. The screws for the faceplate are a very slightly different size than those that secure the HD in the case. It took me awhile to figure that one out with my 65 year old eyes.
Reading these reviews before purchasing was a plus as well.
Does exactly what it says on the box... November 11, 2008
Used this to house a hard drive from an old PC and connect to my new PC. It took me 5 minutes to set up, and works perfectly. I have it switched on permanently, and so far no issues with overheating.
