This review is from: Eagle Tech ET-CS2MSU2-BK 2.5-Inch SATA to USB Portable HDD Enclosure (Mesh) (Personal Computers)

Length:: 3:04 Mins

PROS

- Good heat dissipation -- A primary concern on external HD enclosure

- Works on PC and Mac

- Will work with only one USB connected (if necessary)

- Small, stylish

CONS

- Extremely small screws which are easy to lose and likely require screwdriver purchase

- Has not worked through powered USB hub

Stylish and it works. I recommend without reservation for anyone who is going to stick an old hard drive in it and then use it as a portable hard drive (like a WD Passport). However, due to the tiny screws and the extra effort they involve, I do not recommend to someone who will regularly be switching hard drives in and out of it.

After some research, bought this item. Was looking for a easy to use small enclosure, inexpensive,no fan for portability and USB powered use. Item met all my needs. Have two SATA hard drives, and very easy to switch. Will most l ikely buy another enclosure.

I love the case the HDD i installed was running hot in the laptop i had

so the mesh design is great to have on this one.

No issue everything is working great.

(Note): the screws (4) are a little small but the tech people will have a screw driver that will fit I did
