5.0 out of 5 stars Great Design & Great Quality, February 24, 2008
I've used a lot of different brands of external drive enclosures and this one is by far the best. It seems that so many drive enclosures for 3.5" drives are designed to be difficult to open an close. With the Rocketfish design, you have large Allen key (hex) bolts in the corners. These are stronger and much easier to use than the hardware of other enclosures. The bottoms of the bolts have little rubber feet that help the drive run as silently as possible. The drives also stack really well if you have more than one.

The drive kit comes with an honest-to-goodness user's manual and the 4 foot USB cable is plently long. The red part of the drive (with all the fins) is anodized aluminum. So not only does it look real cool, it dissipates heat very well.

The picture of the enclosure here is kind of odd. You wouldn't put it in the stand oriented in that direction with the connectors on top. You'd either put it on its side or as I prefer, flat on the desk

For anyone with Windows XP or Vista, the drives are plug & play. A cool blue light shows when the drive is in use. I have several of these Rocketfish drive enclosures (including the smaller 2.5" size), and they have worked flawlessly for me.

If you're upgrading the drive in your desktop computer, don't waste the old drive, just throw it in one of these enclosures and use it as a backup.

REMEMBER this drive enclosure is for older EIDE/ATA drives (lots of pins) rather than the newer SATA drives (small connector). Most if not all desktop computers sold now are using SATA drives inside. I'm not sure if Rocketfish makes this same style enclosure for SATA drives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Hard Drive Enclosure That Works Very Well, October 26, 2008
By Jack R. Tallent (Ellicott City, MD USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this USB hard drive enclosure as an easy and fast way to transfer lots of files from my old computer to my new one.

The process is extremely simple: I pulled the drive out of my old machine; put the drive into the Rocketfish drive tray (two cables and 4 screws to hold the drive firmly in place); put the tray/drive assembly into the enclosure and screwed the lid down.

That's it.

The drive was immediately recognized as "Local Disk (G:)" on my Windows Vista System. (It also recognized "SYSTEM_SAV(H:)" which I assume is the boot volume on the drive.)

The enclosure is attractive and well-made, consisting of a red,finned, aluminum chassis with glossy black side panels. There is a small stand that permits the enclosure to sit on its side, and it is very stable in this configuration. The system does not seem to get more than slightly warm.

I am glad I bought this thing-- it made transferring 10,000 photos as easy at it possibly could have been.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product but don't buy here!, February 3, 2009
Wonderful product but have found it at half the price at other locations including at Best Buy in the store for $60.00 for the exact same package. As much as I love buying from Amazon this is way too much money plus the shipping.
