Quick. It makes use of two (optional, only desires one particular) USB ports so that it can have faster speeds and more power to the drive. My spare laptop drive that I replaced with an SSD gets a constant 60mb/s on huge transfers. 80mb/s on smaller sized ones. ㆒mb/s for really smaller transfers. The back of the enclosure doesn't match on proper. Normally I'd subtract an egg, but it came with a (fake) leather "pouch" to put it in. I really feel this is even much better. I appreciate this tiny issue. It's like obtaining a 160GB, super rapidly, slightly bulky flash drive.If you have an added SATA drive laying around, this is nice to have.

It is what it is. It is affordable and functions Yes, the HDD will move around but if you take the User Manual and wrap it around the HDD it will keep the HDD from moving about. Hence why I only gave it 3 Eggs. I would not recommend utilizing the inexpensive screw driver that come with it unless you have to, use a precision Ş Phillips. The screws are simply striped.

NONE Dead on arrival. So DEAD that all that takes place is the green led lights up. The drive wont even spin up( in either external encloseure, I bought two of them). Definately was not a fantastic purchase or experience for me. I have bought from newegg just before, and have been satisfied , which is what led me to get from them again. By ordering two enclosures I figured I would finish up with at least 1 that would perform, but i didnt. I ended up with two badeggs as an alternative.

Well constructed and low cost The HDD flops around inside the enclosure. Maybe Masscool needs to feel about placing some insulation inside for a tighter and far more secure match.

Operates! No Problems Yet! Incorporates a good 'Y' USB cable. Vibrant BLUE LED!This Crazy Blue Light comes on when the drive is powered on. I had to cover it with a piece of black electrical tape.

This small, light, but sturdy HD enclosure is a must have if you have an old SATA 2.5 left more than from an upgrade. It is Uncomplicated to assemble and comes with all the needed hardware including the combination energy/data cable. The assembly can be foiled by not getting cautious with the Quite Tiny screws and the TINY incorporated screwdriver. Take your time with the assembly and you will be rewarded with a incredibly usable, Higher Quality product.

Definitely zero. 2.five" challenging drives DO NOT fit into this enclosure. It's physically not possible to match any of my drives in the enclosure.Positive some folks could be capable to get their drive in, but I wouldn't take the opportunity on this 1. It's totally as well modest, even if it match, would in all probability overheat the hard drive. Look elsewhere.

Speedy delivery from Newegg. I have been most pleased with their service. Enclosure is cheap created and fragile. I ordered Ɠ) of these at when. I can say devoid of doubt you get what you pay for. USB port on the enclosure was hard to mate cable to. Right after the third time plugging it in it broke. (with tiny force may well I add). Next would be that a 2.5" HD flops around on the inside. I am concerned with the protection that this enclosure delivers for the HD. The expense of the HD far out ways the danger I would take safeguarding it in this enclosure. I do not and will not propose the buy of this enclosure Newegg need to pull this from their stock and return it to the vendor before any other disappointed buyers are made. I chosen 1 egg because I had also, not mainly because I wanted as well.

Uncomplicated to take apart and put your drive in, performs as advertised Appears low-cost and flimsy, one screw doesn't go in fully, requirements 2 usb ports, no switch to turn off, directions translated badly (not required though) I was able to use one particular usb slot with my laptop, but when I use one particular with the PS3 it would commence beeping, so I plug in both cords. If your on a budget than get this as it operates and its low-cost. The faults are minor at best.

Sleek, smaller, comes with everything you want. Kinda cheaply constructed. May possibly not work if dropped. Had to send back to Newegg. I set anything up and the drive spins, the light comes on the case displaying that its becoming powered AND Windows Vista and XP installs the drivers BUT, the drive is absolutely inaccessible. If you go to device manager, its there and says its functioning effectively but theres no way to get into the drive. There are no icons or anything at all to achieve access to the drive. Dont waste your time with this 1.

It's a enclosure, practically nothing much more practically nothing much less. It at least came with everything. The initial enclosure I ever bought and the final from this firm. When it got right here, it seemed to appear typical but it was far from it. When I put my old drive it, it was loose beyond words. I had to use pieces of the box that it came in so I could maintain it secure. Really should just be a straightforward two way usb cord. You have to go through trial and error to come across out which way goes which, a waste of my time. The business who makes these demands to step their game up.

Inexpensive case, looks great, does what it says, powered by USB port itself. Found this unit has difficulties with energy when connected through a USB extension cable. Drive LED lights green but Windows will not detect the drive. When connected straight to the computer by way of the quick cable attached to the drive it operates fine.

easy to set up screws are also modest and nothing inside the housing to maintain the hard drive from banging around, not anything that I would travel with. my laptop indicated that the difficult drive was about to fail and would not boot up, so I got this economical enclosure to see if the information on the tricky drive could be retrieved. Windows 7 recognized the drive with no difficulties and presently making use of it as an desktop external hard drive till it dies.

SmallerLow costNo external power requirement Not recognized by some newer systems. Not a driver or hardware issue on the technique portion, but with the usb head on the Masscool hardware interface. It is a poor implementation. If you have an older technique, this is fine, but keep away if your program is with a year of getting new. In particular if its a Dell.

Affordable and just functions. Case is metal and dumps most of the drive heat. May well need to have to jam a small bit of paper into the non-connector end of the situation in between the drive and the case... it's not an precise tight fit and the drive can rattle a teeny bit. I've bought several inexpensive circumstances like this a single and not had a problem - this one is no exception.

Works just like an enclosure ought to. Plug a drive in, plug it in to the personal computer, use like a USB mass storage device. Powered entirely from two USB ports (cord included) Feels genuinely affordable. The tiny tiny screws don't perform, non-common plug (USB A to USB A, thankfully the cable is supplied but I'm scared of losing it). I necessary this to fill out my complement of enclosures - desktop and laptop, IDE and SATA each. I don't use it like an external drive, so I generally just use the header and bare drives. The cheapness would bother me if I applied it consistently, or attempted to carry it about in a laptop bag or something.

Excellent Cost Poor USB CABLE-Don't anticipate any support Newegg recommended I call MASSCOOL tech help which was a joke tried 3 times with the identical answer i will send you an e-mail and i will send you a cable. No e-mail and no cable. Tried e-mailing them myself, no reply. It's cheaper to acquire a new cable then send it back but its the principle of it. Oh by the way very good look discovering a USB male to USB male cable that is less than 3 foot extended. I guess they assume its so cheap whats the point but i will under no circumstances purchase something from MASSCOOL again!

This enclosure is straightforward to operate with. I just produced confident to move the pins on the drive from master to slave, stuck it in, plugged it in, and viola!!! I'm not sure what the other reviewer was speaking about with the cable. Mine worked perfectly, and who doesn't have a million USB cables laying around anyway? It isn't a male to male, it is a USB to mini-USB cable. none

None Right after removing my old notebook tough drive fro mits bracket, I popped it in and was excited to finally be receiving all my old images of my son, and the rest of my media files back. All of my computing had been done with that HDD for the past 2 and a half years.Nicely, to my dismay, I installed the HDD inside the enclosure, and plugged in the USB cable. At first, it did nothing. It didn't even register a USB device had been added, despite the fact that the green LED on the enclosure came on.I rebooted and it identified the device. When I went to open Drive E:, my OS(Vista 64-bit) appeared frozen. I gave up after three minutes of waiting, and went to watch a movie with my son. About five minutes later, I noticed it told me I had to format Drive E: just before I could use it. So, whats the point, if I have to format the drive if I want to access it? I purchased the enclosure so I could access all my old files, not delete them. The instruction manual is great for a laugh!

Affordable and 500GB max capacity 1. Disconnects throughout transfers. Creates 'Delayed write failure' errors, and you can actually see it disappear and reappear on windows explorer on XP. I did not have this difficulty on Vista.two. The foam pad at the bottom of the enclosure is also thick, and has to be cut down by a third to get the drive in correctly. This can be carried out with scissors if you peel the pad off.3. The screw holes to hold the front on the enclosure are not threaded, you'll have to be careful to get the screws in straight.4. The instructions (not that you want them) are the wost "Chinglish" I have ever observed. You fundamentally cannot read them due to the fact they are nonsensical.5. They seem to waste some space on the connector mount, other enclosures may well be smaller.6. The enclosure says "Fanner Tech USA" on it. There is absolutely nothing American about this item, as produced clear by the instructions. I would take into account that false advertising. I strongly recommend avoiding this enclosure.I believe the critique titled "Works Fantastic!!!" is for the wrong item, as this enclosure DOES have a complete size male to double male usb cable (as shown in the photo).Newegg credited me for this defective product and I will be ordering a different 1. Thanks guys!

Does the job and the price was additional that correct. None. Purchased this to clone my laptops HDD to a new WD 500GB I bought at the very same time. As soon as I got my cloning software sorted out, this enclosure worked fine.I have had interference troubles (moire on the display) with some external HDD circumstances before, no troubles with this 1.
