5.0 out of 5 stars A handsome case, no power supply needed, February 14, 2005
By Arryman "arryman" (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews
Hard drive enclosures are partly a matter of personal taste -- what look do you like? If you appreciate Apple's aluminum industrial design circa 2004, then you'll love the MacAlly drive cases. The 2.5" cases are exceptional because you don't need to have a power supply attached. Assembly takes just a few minutes. Actually, I think I remember that when assembling, I didn't even bother with all the screws inside because the fit was so tight they just weren't needed. They're smartly designed to stack on top of each other, with rubber ridges that both provide a non-slip grip and air space for cooling. All in all, a perfect hard drive enclosure.

I'm so satisfied with MacAlly's cases that I have 2 of these 2.5" cases with 60GB drives in them, and 2 of the 3.5" cases with 250GB drives.

2.0 out of 5 stars Unique ID isn't unique, August 21, 2007
By Macs R We (Arizona) - See all my reviews
This is an OK enclosure to invest in if you are positive that you will never need more than one, but if you ever plan to add another, beware. MacAlly ships every unit with the exact same internal GUID, in violation of the FireWire standard. The GUID is supposed to be unique for every device, so your computer can tell them apart, but these aren't -- so as soon as you add the second one, your machine goes bonkers. If you spend enough time on the phone with MacAlly support (a task in itself) they will deign to send you a low-level tool to rewrite the GUID in one of the enclosures -- however, it runs only on Windows, and even then, not on all versions of Windows. By the time you have reached this point, there are other enclosures on the market at roughly the same price point that are a whole lot less grief to set up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buspower in BOTH USB2.0 & Firewire400, March 9, 2006
By mP (Beverly Hills, CA USA) - See all my reviews
A review by A. Franz in Oct. of 2005 says that this drive is not bus-powered by the USB 2.0 port; however, after contacting Maccally I found this to be incorrect. It is in fact bus-powered by both Firewire AND USB -- it's sitting on my desk as I type, powered through the USB port. Thankfully, I didn't go upon reviewers' advice only -- do your research.

Great product. Highly recommend.

This is a great product and I am very happy with the purchase. However, the firewire cable that comes with the enclosure is too stiff and sometimes difficult to manage on the go.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good product
Does what it should and provides both a USB and Firewire 400 (1394a) interface. Only complaint is the power comes from a second USB port, but that isn't much of a big deal. Read more
