Answer to my prayers

Getting the drive in is a little scary because it fits so snug. It makes you feel like you will break it. Once its in you can feel how secure it is as there is no rattling whatsoever. If your thinking about getting this dont hesitate. This is the only...

I was looking for a USB3 enclosure to test out my USB3 ports on my msi p55a gd65 mobo and this one works without problems. First, I bought a SYBA USB3 enclosure (Item #N82E16817801071) and it was garbage would not detect on usb2 or usb3. Tested on...

Didn't work

Get something better, you'll be happy. I RMA'd this and will return it and already ordered another brand.

Small, doesn't need separate power, no fan

Doesn't work. Really cheesy internal connection/screw-down. End cap then didn't fit well (this was a 160GB WD HDD). Supplied USB3.0 cable is maybe 1 foot long and cheap, it damaged one of my two USB3.0 ports. Used a better cable and the green LED comes...

Cheap junk

Get something better made. I wanted a small, simple enclosure with no fan, but this thing is too cheap.

Small case. No fan. No extra power

If boot a Hard Drive needs additional Power Supply

It is good looking and comes with a nice outter bag, and speedy enough! USB 3.0

Somehow hard to install and need to be more careful to put the Hard drive in

Works Great

Actually picked this up locally in Dallas, Newegg's price is better ; Works at 3.0 speeds without secondary power (tried 5,400 and 7,200 rpm drives) ; Works on USB 2.0 ports with the included cable or with a normal, micro-USB cable (the style new...

Plether case is ugly. I don't use these, so no big deal ; Doesn't work with 12.5 mm drives, but these are rare. I tried the Samsung 1TB HM100UI ; This isn't a real con since it is advertised to work with 9.5 mm drives (slim). The USB bits worked fine,...

Disappointed

Unable to interface with Fujitsu MHW2160BH hard drive.

USB 3.0

Does not work on slim SATA drives ; High shipping cost for such a light item ; Screws are thin and can easily be lost ; Not enough space and ventilation
