4.0 out of 5 stars Enclose Your Drive - Save a Few Bucks, June 19, 2009

By	Anthony Martin "tirith" (Sterling, VA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This aluminum enclosure works mostly as you'd expect, and you'll find the price hard to beat for what you get, including a screwdriver (mine fit the provided screws just fine), a dual-ended USB cable, and a functional if plain protective carrying case. Hard to beat.

A couple caveats:

- The main enclosure is aluminum, but the ends are plastic. Seems to work OK though - just go easy on tightening the screws.
- The end cap that you screw into the enclosure isn't a perfect fit where it matches up with the aluminum enclosure. However, the alignment issue is minor, does not affect the security of your enclosed drive, and is purely cosmetic. This may only be an issue wih my example.
- My Dell XPS M1530 laptop with Vista x64 will not boot with the drive plugged into a USB port. I have to remove the drive prior to booting. The laptop does not have this problem with other USB drives.

Bottom line: the enclosure works, looks nice, is quite compact, and it's cheaper than most. I'd get another one without hesitation.

Used mine with a Western Digital SATA 500 GB 5400 rpm drive. Works fine.

Nice little drive holder, case and cable. One problem is the included screwdriver didn't fit the screws. Not a problem if you have a jeweler's Phillips screwdriver. Case got a little warm formatting a 320gb drive. I would recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Enclosure, December 29, 2008

By	Derek Miner "Best Buy Computer Sales" (Rochester, MN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

this Enclosure is great, great quality, has a nice case, it feels very well made, it fits well, and you dont have to force your hdd in, because they give you a good amount of room to work with. The really nice thing is my hdd works with only 1 of the usb's plugged in, so I dont have to use both spots, which is nice, this is a great buy, one of the best enclosures you can get for SATA 2.5 inch HDD's, it is GREAT
