1.0 out of 5 stars Poor manufacturing quality, July 6, 2007

By	W. Jordan (Stafford, VA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It works fine, EXCEPT... a) the manufacturer's QA is bad, and b) the unit's design is lacking. I wish I'd spent a little more and got a better one.
The 1st unit wouldn't work on arrival. Apparently glue from assembly had gotten into the power switch and locked it in place, tho there was no visual evidence to that. The unit wouldn't power up even tho the power switch was locked in the 'on' position. The switch just wouldn't budge. TigerDirect's response was excellent, but still, it cost me $6 extra to return it.
The 2nd unit powered up, but couldn't be closed because epoxy glue had run half way across the PC board, down a bracket and pooled in one of the two screw holes that secure the "workings" to the "can". I had to drill and tap the glue out of the screw hole (OR pay another $6 for another return.)
Concerning design:
a) The power and activity indicators should be located on the front of the unit. There's a combo power/activity light on the back end... so, you have to turn it around to see what it's doing (OR position it where you have to look at the cables ALL the time.)
b) This unit is NOT of the "tool-less" design. It requires a screwdriver to open or close it and I have several cheap drives I want to swap in & out. Arghh!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product/service, May 25, 2007

By	Luke Decker - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Works fine, brand new. Gets pretty warm if left on too long and is not sitting up in the stand. Otherwise, I have not had a problem with it.
