Cons: Mesh design
Pros: CheapNo additional cable for power management Comment:
Purchased this for an external hard drive, and does what you expected it to do. Price matched and got it for $5.56. Can't go wrong and supports up to a 2.5 640GB hard drive. |

Cons: Weak outer case
Pros: Easy to use Comment:
Easy to use, INEXPENSIVE hard drive case. Does exactly what you paid for it to do....hold a hard drive.Don't expect something here that's going to last forever though. The case itself, while sturdy enough to hold the drive, is still only made from perforated THIN metal. Good buy for short term use. |

Cons: Flimsy construction
Pros: Price w/RebateLooks good Comment:
At $2 after taxes and rebate figured why not and tossed it into the Boxing Day order. NCIX shipped this unit 2 days after the rebate postmark date expired, but a quick ticket and they assured me it would still go through or they'll resolve it; here's hoping =).Works as advertised, and currently have an old 120GB driver in it. No eSATA or USB3.0 so a bit slow at 20-25MB/s but what do you expect for a twoonie?At the sale and rebate price I'd highly recommend this for a cheap 2.5" SATA to USB 2.0 enclosure. |

Cons:
Drive is open to dust and spills
Pros: Cost next to nothingEasy to installGood ventilation Comment:
I price matched this down to $9.50ish, and then there was a 10 dollar MIR. If the rebate works, I'll have pretty much only paid for shipping on this thing!Anyway, I slapped in an old 120gb hdd from my girlfriends laptop that I had lying around, and it works fine. It was a cheap and easy way to turn what was otherwise a pretty useless harddrive that was just lying around into a functional external drive. |

Cons:
none
Pros: Looks good, cheap Comment:
Small, cheap, looks good, standard micro USB connection, can't go wrong with this drive. The tiny screws were a bit hard to put in, other than that, took 5 minutes and I had a nice portable drive to use. |

Cons:
No eSATA, but if you need it, there are other models that come with it.
Pros: Works great, and CHEAP too! Comment:
This enclosure is one of the cheapest and best ways to make a nice, cheap, portable back-up drive. What a difference in size between a 2.5" drive enclosure, and a 3.5" enclosure. I recommend 3.5" enclosures and drives for expanding PVR's, but 2.5" enclosures are much better for portability. |

Cons:
- Not as strong as some other mesh enclosures- noticeable flex in mesh
Pros: - price- ease of installation- keeps hard drive cool Comment:
Not as good as the Enermax mesh hard drive enclosures but it does the job. Kept my 640 GB drive cool but the build quality is average at best. |

Cons: not bulletproof, but at the price its great.
Pros: Well ventilated. Great price. Single that it comes with powers it, but has second usb if needed. Comment:
Used my old PS3 80GB harddrive in this. Works great. Simple to assemble and I used swissknife to format it in FAT32 to us with my PS3. Great price, and the metal mesh is well ventilated. Highly reccomend it. This review was modfied by poster @ 02-01-10 05:31 PM |

Cons: - Super small screws to deal with- Feels a tad flimsy
Pros: - Mesh provides good airflow- Really slim design Comment:
All in all a great drive which is very slim and well ventilated. I like the mesh look too. Even for retail price I think the drive is a good buy and much better than the nGear one I had before. |

Pros: Two minutes from inserting HDD'n 4 screws the enclosure close to USB plug'n play working.It detects partitioned drives. Comment:

Cons: Dust collector
Pros: Cheap, Light Comment:
I bought this to replace my nGear 2.5 Enclosure that failed to work on Vista x64. This is working fine if connected to rear USB ports of my motherboard. |
I installed an SSD in my laptop and bought this to use my old internal HDD as an external one. Works as intended and easily. Good for storage and backups, not very good for ultra performance.
