Reasonably sturdy, case integrated, metal outer shell, no energy adapter required (dual USB cable applied). Vibrant LED (could be a con for some). Can be flimsy with 1 side of the case removed, plastic retention clips *could* be a problem. Case doesn't consist of a place to shop the USB cable. LED is in the back of the case exactly where the USB cable plugs in (nitpick). Outstanding case, owned a couple prior, much sturdier than prior enclosures. Internals are by plastic tray, the top and bottom panels can be removed independently. For the price tag, an awesome item. I've owned other rosewill items (mostly adapter cards and modems), all of them show good high quality.

Rosewill makes excellent merchandise that are priced properly. I replaced the hard drive in my Dell Inspiron 1545 with a WD SiliconEdge Blue 64GB SSD. But what to do with the original difficult drive? Find an external case of course.I have owned a lot of external challenging drive circumstances, and most of them have been junk - poor building or supplies, drives that aren't secured and rattle, cheesy graphics, and so forth. Not so with this case. It disassembles easily, contains five screws for mounting the drive Ɣ required, 1 added), a handy screwdriver, the cable, and a good leatherette case with a magnetic snap closure and rigid bottom.It all operates incredibly nicely. It need to also be noted that a typical mini-USB to USB cable can be utilised (no require for the y-splitter cable) as long as the drive is 5400rpm. I installed a Seagate Momentus 5400.six 320GB drive, which calls for 5 volts and draws .451 amps. Works perfectly with typical cable and frees up an additional USB port. None really, its a good case with a really very good price. 5400rpm drives - typical USB cable7200rpm drives - splitter cable (needs additional juice)

Uncomplicated design and style, does what it claims, didn't require 2nd usb port connecting to MBP. Comes with a basic carrying case and tiny screw driver for installation, good touch. Hard to slide open, not excellent craftmanship - the prime and bottom pieces aren't flush at finish when fully closed, not truly a big concern at all, just mentioning it. Satisfied with it

It is low-cost, it works like its supposed to, slick looking, carrying case. It also comes with a screw driver and screws for securing the HDD in the enclosure. It takes up two usb ports but I knew that when I bought it and to get the transfer speed it takes 2. Some have mentioned the drives barely match. my WD 250gb drive fit just fine and actually had about a 1ǚ inch of space on the back side but not to significantly on the best side.

Small size, sleek balck case, leather carrying case Y-split USB cable, tight fit after installing a drive The Y-split USB cable indicates you will lose an further USB port. I used the encoloser with a TOSHIBA drive from my Dell laptop. Once you have a drive in the enclosure, the top cover would not slide on as very easily as the bottom cover, but some drives may be slimmer, and not have this issue. With a small bit of additional work, you can get the cover on. Want this had a fan, but that would ruin the sleek thin design.

This is a good low cost case. Does what it is supposed to do...comes with a nice leather-like pouch that has a little cushion to it, no thin flimsy pouch right here! Simple to install drive Cable supplied with case did not work at all. When I purchased a new USB cable, it worked fine. LED's stopped functioning at about 8 months, but drive nonetheless functions. Case slides apart very simply considering that it is held with each other with effortlessly pushed plastic tabs close to the USB port side of the drive (see photographs) which can be annoying sometimes. Drive is secured with screws, so no worries about it falling out or anything. Overall, I would go with yet another case unless this one is on sale or a thing. Rosewill is a wonderful company, not all your goods can be winners I guess!Took off two stars because the provided cable did not function and the LEDs died at significantly less then a year of use.

(I own three of these and I'd usually give this 4 eggs, but this 1 was defective so it loses an egg for workmanship) Small, light, dependable, decent building, comes with a case AND a functional screwdriver. Doesn't need the use of a Y-cable with most devices, but one particular is included just in case. No external energy necessary. Supports 2.five" SATA drives up to 640GB tested so far, with no Y cabled required but, suspect it will assistance 750GB, possibly bigger. All round a fairly very good enclosure. They necessary to consist of screws with wider heads, or supply washers or one thing. The screws are also tiny for the plastic track that the hard drive mounts to, and they partially slip by way of the slots. Also, the plastic Very easily cracks if you so considerably as tighten the screws anything beyond barely snug. That wouldn't come about if washers had been offered, or the design and style was changed. Such clear flaws, I've been expecting them to be corrected more than time, but they've continued to make the same exact product for at least a couple years totally unchanged. Just take care to only tighten the screws to the point of just becoming slightly snug, anything further will crack the plastic and you'll no longer be in a position to safe the HD to the case in that corner. Somewhat hard to slide off the outer case with the way they've created the push tabs. Must've created them longer or something to give you additional leverage for your thumbs, producing it simpler to push them in and slide the case(s) off. I own 3 of these that I've acquired over time, but this a single was DEFECTIVE. The tabs had been pushed in ALLLL the way, and the case was totally stuck, only moving about 1 mm on the best, and frozen on the bottom. Worked on it for about 5 mins just before I was ultimately in a position to get One side of the case off, but as soon as it was off it was the exact same problem in reverse attempting to get it back on. As of yet I've been unsuccessful, doesn't matter how difficult/far you push the tabs in. Hopefully I'll be capable to get it back on before I box it up to ship it back. I'm bummed, I've ordered a number of products from Newegg virtually each and every single month because they opened a number of years ago, but I haven't had to return something defective for a extended, extended time. Let's see if they're renown client service is still up to par (their shipping has gone downhill more than the last couple years). However I won't have an enclosure I can use this weekend like I needed.

Took me much less than five minutes to set up and inside ten minutes I was transferring information from my old difficult drive to my new personal computer. Pretty nice looking unit for the price and the leather carrying case is a good addition. None so far. The double USB connector appears a little funny, but doesn't pose any actual issues.

Low-cost value, good looking, decent good quality Hitachi hard drive is also thick by about 2 millimetersfor the leading cover to fit back on. Manual states that the enclosure can only deal with hard drives up to 250GB and 5400rpm.

It's costly - I got it with absolutely free shipping. It's straightforward to assemble. You press the "plastic" clip on the sides and slide the prime and bottom metal covers off the plastic frame, eliminate the soft styro foam filler, insert the drive and screw it tight, slide the covers back on.I had two.5" enclosures from other brands. I can only compare this with the ones that I own, this is the very best of the bunch... Extremely suggested. Leading and bottom covers are high glossy black. They are finger print magnets - great seeking although. The frame is plastic. There is a higher probability of breaking the frame if the unit is dropped and it lands sideway. Did I get a repackage item? The unit came in a shrink wrap "bag" (hand bagged and sealed only one particular finish) rather of the usual item machine shrink wrap. The ?carrying bag? was missing. It's the benefit of a doubt, due to the fact I don't know if it was shipped from Rosewill that way - so it's five stars....As it was packaged, there was a piece of soft styro foam filled the drive space within the frame. I cut a sliver of it and wedged the drive to maintain it from moving in the frame.Engineering thought: Rosewill presents a SATA and an IDE version. It would be good if the frame is switchable for IDE and SATA. You can use it with your older IDE drive and later for SATA, presuming the enclosure will outlast the drive.

+ Straightforward to set up. (Just slide open the enclosure, pop in the difficult drive, secure it with screws, close enclosure.)+ Doesn't get too hot even though it's operating.+ Comes with every little thing you need to have. (Cable, screws, screwdriver, & carrying case.)+ Excellent price tag range.+ Has right LED's. (Blue for energy, orange for activity.)+ Performs with Ubuntu ten.04 & Windows 7.+ Also has a IDE-cable compatible model, for these who want it. - Fingerprint hungry. (Not actually a con.) Replaced my PS3's challenging drive and I am making use of the one that came with it in this enclosure, functioning properly so far.Will buy again for my enclosure needs. :)

Uncomplicated to put with each other, basic to adhere to directions, sleek design and fantastic carrying case! Mini-screwdriver included in box for easy assembly a large plus! Operates like a dream and quiet as a flash drive even with a 250GB SATA drive installed. Screws a bit really hard to seat but not as well bad. Great for any individual searching to make a quick and effortless transportable tough drive, exceptional alternative for additional expensive models.

Good for rapid hot swaps if you are an IT pro making use of it to back up data from your laptop hard drives. Following about a week the plastic nubs that hold the cover in place were pushed down too far to grip the sliding face. If your making use of this to just place 1 drive in and hold it there, than this is ok for you. If you program on swapping drives in and out, acquire some rubber bands or electrical tape to hold it with each other since it wont final extended. The plastic clips that hold the sliding face on are inexpensive and will not stand up to drive swaps. I would rma this factor but it's not worth the hassle for a ฟ item. Also the new antec case i just bought has a hot swap 2.five bay correct on best :)

Small. comes with carrying case. neat. USB energy source. Could be iffy. Comes with USB Y cable for extra power from secondary source. My desktop had difficulty recognizing this drive till I realized there a is a purpose for Y cable. You can also make use of external secondary USB energy supply if you have a specifically power hungry HD.
