Rosewill RX81U-AT-25A Rigid aluminum 2.5" SATA to USB 2.0 Ext. Enclosure

Comment:
A really uncomplicated small box, straightforward to set up. Has a tiny foam that buffers the drive in the rear, a nice addition. Very quiet but the blue light is pretty irritating. It stays on when you plug it in. Employing a 7200 rpm SATA WD Black 160G HD, Extremely fast transfers. A noticable difference from a 5400 rpm IDE drive. Can't turn off the light. Is this a flaw?

Effortless to hookup and use. I was capable to recover files from my old HD from laptop that died. Fantastic price for what you get. Sturdy build. Comes with cables and screw driver. None Highly advisable.

Good aluminum case, really sturdy, seems to be well produced (foam pad in the bottom of the case, and so on.), assembly was a breeze, excellent transfer speeds, blue LED isn't too vibrant, USB cable just the suitable length for most applications, completely silent, drive runs extremely cool in it None. This is a extremely good case especially for the cash. It's significantly far better than I expected for the ฟ that I paid for it. Rosewill has got it all with each other as far as I'm concerned and I'd happily obtain much more of these circumstances to use with two.five drives for little type issue externals. It will accept drives bigger than the 250GB listed on the spec sheet as well. I ran the 320GB WD HDD I purchased to replace my laptop difficult drive in this enclosure even though generating an Acronis image of my laptop challenging drive. I then swapped them out and voila I've got much more space in the laptop and a fantastic 120GB external for use.

excellent make good quality (Apple would sell one thing like that for 贄+), included screwdriver (since the screws are genuinely smaller), backup screws (or at least I hope they're backup :), leather pouch can also hold a cable and the screwdriver, great value none! Perfect enclosure. No extra useless things. You unpack it, get the HD in and it just functions as it ought to. I'm incredibly impressed all round.

Smaller, uncomplicated, simple to set up and get rid of the drive. Nice searching The cable is a bit bulky. Not certain why it requirements to connectors. I picture it's for additional power, but I by no means had to use the second one. For all about two years I used it and it works wonderful. Swapping a drive inside is a snap. Merely eliminate two screws and it slides out. Constructed in plastic cover to shield the electronics of the drive comes in handy when I just require to put in a diverse drive for a few minutes, so I just set it on the table.In truth, I just upgraded my laptop to a more rapidly drive and now have a bare drive on my desk, so I'm purchasing a second a single of these. Incredibly good product!PS. I also, have a Rosewill three.five enclosure. It also functions wonderful (has been so for about two years now). Appears like they put with each other quality goods for affordable.

Good value for what you spend. This is a slick enclosure that gives a skilled really feel. The manual recommends for you to format the drive. Nevertheless, this operate straight out of the box. None. I want the logo was smaller sized or situated someplace else (perhaps the side or bottom).The manual recommends for you to format the drive. Nevertheless, this perform straight out of the box.

AffordableSimpleReputableDoes not need AC adapterComes with easy carrying containerWorked with all the drives I've testedStraightforward to assemble They could of picked a superior spot for the usb port on the enclosure, it's appropriate smack in the middle, so you have to have that tiny carrying pouch open if you want to plug it into the computer. The LED light is a little also bright for my taste though others have commented how they like it.USB Cord has two plugs on 1 finish, producing it a bit "bulky" even although only the initially plug is necessary. If you're hunting for a easy lengthy term resolution for storing, accessing, and archiving files no matter whether they be video, music, or documents; or if you need to access the really hard drive of a dead laptop/notebook computer system, this is the ideal resolution. Appears to constantly be on sale for บ, and nicely worth the investment. I've had this for over a year, and I haven't identified anything that can beat the price tag, value, and reliability of this solution. I've purchased further units for friends and they are also very satisfied. The carrying pouch is a good touch, but oddly enough, it doesn't have a hole that lines up to the mini usb port on the device. Either they need to of added a hole, or moved the mini port additional to the side. The pouch is anything I hold my drives in all the time, simply because I've dropped it a few instances (only a brief distance tho, less than two feet), and I think the pouch has helped soften the blow. I've decided to pick up a few a lot more, since it merely just functions!!

Operates incredible, the initially time I plugged it in. Came with a nice carrying case, screwdriver, and decent cable.Install was simple. Likes other folks have mentioned, the screw holes are a tiny small. One of my screws is sticking out about a millimeter, making it a small bump on the otherwise smooth and sophisticated case. Not something that you could snag something on, but nevertheless, the screw holes could be the appropriate size. My attempts to get it additional feel like I'm going to strip the screw so I just left it there. Took a single egg off due to the fact of this. The cord is a little odd. It has two USB male ports, as if you are supposed to plug in each. Just plugging in 1 is apparently adequate power for my 250GB drive. Sadly my NTFS formatted drive can not go amongst the Computer and Macs I work on. Just a note for any one who was planning on utilizing this with each Computer and Mac. (The remedy here is to reformat to FAT32, I just haven't had time to back up my drive and do that.)

The situation has a nice high quality look and feel to it. Seems safe for my HDD so I like it. The screwdriver that came with it is useless and the pouche wants to be aired out but nothing crazy.

Lightweight, sturdy, straightforward to use. Comes with two extra screws AND a screwdriver, as effectively as a carrying situation. Blue indicator LED is a bit bright.

Excellent Product & Low-cost!Solid NA

Low value, supports up to 250GB drives, worked excellent with my new MacBook Pro stock drive. I inserted the stock 250GB drive (with total OS X intact) and it was recognized instantly. I pulled all my current information onto the new 500GB drive I also purchased from newegg. Every thing seems to be operating fantastic. Only 1 USB port is necessary to power the MBP drive. As an added bonus, the factor truly looks quite decent on my desk. Extremely tight fit for my stock 250GB Unibody MacBook Pro hard drive; in fact scraped some of the label off attempting to coax it into the case. Soon after seeking much more closely, I realized the plastic pull tab attached to the MBP tough drive was causing some problems. Soon after removal, the drive did fit superior. Screws are on the little side; straightforward to lose, uncomplicated to strip. The blue light could be a tiny less vibrant, but that's nit-selecting a bit. The case seems a tad also thin. The vent hole on the drive seemed to be awfully close to the aluminum housing, nearly touching it. I hope there's sufficient air space in there to not bring about problems. At this value, it's a no-brainer!

Sturdy and solid. Quiet. Cool. none Housing my 200GB 7200RPM Travelstar. No matters. Comes with a nice case to boot. It's been in my backpack for almost a year. Not a scratch on it. Nevertheless looks new...

- Handled my 640 drive, some say upto 500, 320, this a single didn't say anything, but it worked. - Sturdy construction- I got it on sale for 7.99- Case holds the hard drive, usb, and screwdriver. - Screwdriver sucks...- Rosewill has an ugly logo.

cheap, functions correct away Both screw holes that close the enclosure are misaligned. One fixed itself right after tightening the screw but the other prevents the screw from entering additional than halfway. purchased this to use in data recovery

Functions quite effectively, higher make top quality, and very inexpensive! none

Fantastic item for a low fantastic price. It worked as advertised. None.

I upgraded my Mid 2009 MacBook Pro to a 1TB Western Digital drive and I purchased this enclosure to use as an added external drive. It appears to operate well and I've been working with it to transfer huge files among physical locations. Non so far.

Comment:
Worked specifically as expected. Plugged in a WD 640GB Caviar Blue, detected immediately by Windows 7. No driver install required, only had to format the drive. Aluminum casing looks great and feels sturdy. Additional screws sent had been handy as 1 went flying. Short USB cable, surely would have liked a longer 1.

Relatively rapidly transfer ratesGood appear and really feel The screws were a bit of operate to get inLight can't be turned off The case for the enclosure smells undesirable and is undesirable quality, but I don't see why you would require it anyway.

Required a low cost enclosure to extract data from a 2.five" drive. This worked well with no problems. Nothing at all

Nicely Built, operates great with mac and windows formated drives. Useing one as a time machine drive and the other one is a mp3/video drive for my acer aspire one. none This is my second rx81u and the function great. I use these when replacing laptop drives with 7200 rpm drives. They make excellent backup drives. It has excellent fit and finish and performs wonderfull
