thick Al case. they Y cable is a clever addition. better seals than a rugged external drive we all know.Transcend truly admits to support for linux.......and works in Fedora, Ubuntu, Knoppix, and Yellow Dog with many file partitons. i don't mind also considerably the fact that it does not have internal bumpers for the HDD. the case is so thin and smaller that an external rubber wrap tends to make for far better than Rugged soon after a week a year ago the Rugged just sat on my shelf and bought this to put the internal drive from the Rugged and put it this and it entirely outperformed in each format....i genuinely put it by way of the paces.

Great usb case. it's worth it to devote a couple of additional dollars to get a single of these Transcend units. You can save a tiny receiving a discount item but just appear at the testimonials.. effectively worth the income. Quite high high quality all about. these units are just barely larger than the actual two.five" difficult drive. The RED one particular is way nicer than this silver one particular. I had to get a silver one particular mainly because it would be a headache to have two red ones.. wouldn't it? I would have ordered the blue 1 which is also really good hunting but alas, Newegg doesn't carry it.. :-( the only imaginable con I can assume off is that the cable they include things like demands you to plug in two USB ports to energy the unit and tough drive. In actuality, it's the gauge of the cable which inhibits the flow of present and in fact you don't require two USB. If you get a substantially bigger (fatter) single usb cable, then enouch present can pass down the cable and you require only use 1 usb port. I discovered this from a person elses review. Incredibly handy to know. Fortunate I had such a cable from a equivalent item from a different company.

When I ordered my Asus 1000HE I also ordered a replacement 7200 RPM HD. I took the Seagate 160GB 5400 RPM HD out and applied this enclosure to make it into an external HD. Almost everything worked as advertised. USB cord takes up 2 usb slots. I heard a bigger gauge USB cord may well fix this? Other than that NONE. This enclosure is Quite modest. Fits nicely in pockets. If you need to have a 2.5" enclosure this is the one particular.

Does what it really should, which is enclose a two.five" challenging drive. Decent speeds. Aluminum finish to disperse heat. This solution did not come with a software program/driver CD. Sure, 99.9% of us won't have to have the drivers, but this solution nevertheless should certainly come with a CD for the cash you spend for it. There are no rubber feet on the bottom to maintain this thing from moving around. Also the drive was a particularly tight squeeze in there and there is no shock protection. The button on the font of the drive is useless. This came with a USB-Y cable, but I only have to have one plug with my laptop. Perhaps you will desire a single or both, that depends on your method. It appears you can get away with employing 1 of the plugs on newer systems.

Uncomplicated to set up, cost-free computer software for uncomplicated backups from the manufacturer. It handles my Toshiba 5.4k500. Aluminum physique is excellent for dissipation. No venting. While this drive cools passively, a tiny vent is always nice. You will need to have to obtain a case, but it was a good purchase. Case gets hot, but that signifies the drive is being cooled adequately.

Compact, good hunting anodized aluminum, effortless to assemble, extremely sturdy construction. Doesn't demand external power provide, but see cons. Simply because it doesn't have an external power provide, it requires two USB ports to give power. This is fine for a desktop, but could be a dilemma for an older laptop that has one USB on one particular side and another on the other side, or even only 1 USB port. There is only 12" of cord to work with at the power finish. A USB extention might have to be utilised. The general length of the cord is 21 inches so it won't it will have to sit on the laptop or computer. I'll take away an egg for these reasons. I had a spare 250GB 5400 RPM two.five" drive I wasn't making use of. This puts it to great use for substantial data transfers when functioning on client's computers.

The price tag is wonderful and the good quality is just as wonderful! My seagate 5400.4, two.five" hdd fit perfectly. Retrieved my fried laptops data and saved the day. Totally none! Performs with only one particular usb plug. So the double cable included is kinda bulky. Employed an old cable and it's great. Only a minor detail for what is otherwise a fantastic enclosure.

Compact case. Tight fit for drive against rubber bumpers -- I know this drive will be fine in my bag day to day. Didn't include things like screwdriver to open case -- any gadgethead will have the necessary tiny Phillips head driver. USB port broke off my WD Passport portable drive. I knew the drive was fine so this is the case I picked up to replace it. Documentation claims it can only assistance a drive up to 500mA but the WD drive I utilised is rated at 550mA (though I think this is USB port dependent). Incorporates a USB-B to Mini-USB Y-cable, my guess is to pull further power really should the drive demand it. I use a single USB-B to Mini-USB cable and the drive operates just fine.

I necessary to get data off a 250GB SATA drive that was in a laptop that died. It took less than 5 minutes to install the drive into the enclosure and plug it into my Win7-X64 Pc. As soon as Windows detected the device and automatically installed the drivers it worked without an issue. I like the truth that it has a blue led on the situation so I can see the drive is up and in use. None As has been stated in other evaluations, it does give you with a cable to plug into two USB ports. The cause stated in their manual is simply because power supplied by the USB port on some older computers is below the required 5V DC energy. I did have two open ports so I plugged both USB connectors in. It did energy up just fine using one USB connector nevertheless.

Functions exceptionally properly, particularly considering its size, lack of ventilation, and so on. etc. As stated above, the USB cable does require two slots, which is in all probability some thing that could be enhanced, but I have had extremely iffy functionality historically when attempting to use external harddrive enclosures through single-slot USB connections, so I don't thoughts. Slick-searching, occasionally sort of resets itself when sitting on warm carpet subsequent to laptop heat ports (personally, I contemplate this acceptable and my negative).

I didn't have an opinion of any of the external two.five enclosures, and absolutely can't try them all so I went with the one which had the highest rating, and I'm extremely impressed. Solid chunk of aluminum chassis matches my MacBook Pro precisely and looks like it's an Apple product by it's sharp design. Comes with USB Y-form cable to let to use two USB ports for a lot more power which is additional convenient than attempting to keep in mind to lug about a A/C adaptor let alone attempting to come across someplace to plug it in. Incredibly tight fit as it's just large sufficient for the logic board and the challenging drive, so it's lightweight, sleek, and transportable when traveling. Oh, and did I mention the situation aluminum? Does not involve slip travel case and doesn't appear to supply a lot drop protection as the hard drive is so tight it literally is squished against the enclosure, but this also tells you how sleek it is. Would like to see a diverse SKU even if it have been a handful of dollars much more that offered a travel case or better drop protection. Also demands Philips Head sort 00 screwdriver to open, not included in box, or even documented that it's required. Lucky I already had a single to already service the screws on my Mid 2009 MacBook Pro, so you would need to invest in a laptop or computer screwdriver kit to open this guy if you don't currently have one. Would make it unlikely to be in a position to swap hard drives in the field given that you'd often want a screwdriver to do this.

Feels strong! feels like i paid substantially more for it! Drive fits in truly tight, be careful when installing it dont shove the drive in!, none. SDD's and certain HDD's dont need to have to use 2 USB ports to get adequate energy, and will work with a regular Mini USB to USB cable. Has a backup button on it.BTW Help web page has backup application for the button

Doesn't feel inexpensive in your hand. Seems sturdy and the drive fits snugly inside. I installed a drive out of a dead laptop and my computer system instantaneously recognized it. Formatting was a breeze and it functions with just one particular usb cable plugged into the tower. Sealed box from transcend came devoid of software program cd. This was a discomfort as I had to go to their website and locate the proper computer software to download. This didn't take lengthy, but bottom line, the computer software really should have been in the box. I would advise this enclosure to any individual. It worked perfectly.

Looks good. Comes with 'y usb cable' but I've seems to get the job down with one usb cable plugged in. I've utilized this on various Computer's, laptops, netbooks and my pS3 and have never ever had any complications with power or with the drive becoming recognized. Wish it didn't have transcend's logo plastered across the top rated of it, but now Im just becoming picky I've had troubles with so numerous two.five" enclosures, this Transcend was actually a pleasure to use.

My laptop not too long ago bricked on me, but I required to recover some data from the hard drive. As talked about, the enclosure does not come with any type of directions on installation, but the procedure is straight forward. Each ends of the enclosure are removable allowing for the drive to be plugged in outdoors of the aluminum case, then placed inside and secured. No brute force is required to fit every thing in which is good, but the fit isn't sloppy either (for me at least). It does exactly what it says, and that is to enclose laptop SATA challenging drives. It does take two USB port plugs to power it, but getting my only enclosure this may well be regular. Once place back together it came up quickly, so plug and play functionality works nicely. n/a

This enclosure is solid. The drive doesn't bounce about in it like other enclosures. I really like the simplicity to it. The LED on the back of the enclosure isn't as well overly vibrant either. I also enjoy how there isn't a power cord with it.. basically plug and play. wasn't free
