Above and beyond.
The auction said, "no frills." I disagree. I was FRILLED! Easy to install and not only that - they sent the tools needed with it. I wasn't expecting the tiny screw-driver. I was ready to make a trip to the store to buy one. I opened the box and there it was. Made me very happy. I installed the hard-drive and immediately started using it.
Good little no-frills drive...Just in case you were wondering.
I got two of these enclosures to house a pair of 160GB drives I had lying around, I chose this particular enclosure just because it was black and had no case badging...I'm just strange like that. Basically what you see is what you get, a bare aluminum enclosure with two VERY small screws to release the back panel and attach your drive, a single LED in the rear of the case...

I got two of these enclosures to house a pair of 160GB drives I had lying around, I chose this particular enclosure just because it was black and had no case badging...I'm just strange like that. Basically what you see is what you get, a bare aluminum enclosure with two VERY small screws to release the back panel and attach your drive, a single LED in the rear of the case to indicate power/drive activity and a single, full size USB 2.0 "A" style connector; a driver CD, small screwdriver and cheep plastic carrying pouch are also included. The rear panel has the SATA interface sticking right out of it so you just attach the drive and push it back into the case, there is no controller board to lay the drive on to, so I probably wouldn't want to thrash these cases around too much as the fit is pretty tight. One thing I really like about the case is that it doesn't need two USB ports to work, just the one full size 'A" to "A" style USB cable that comes included. As to how they work, I've been writing data to both drives constantly for over an hour with no errors so they already function better then the $50.00 enclosure they replaced, only time will tell, I'll update this review in a few weeks if I'm feeling ambitious.

This is an IDE enclosure, not a SATA enclosure, at least the one I received was not. Also, the objects I received were not the same as in the picture. The only reason I did not give one star is because the enclosure actually works.

I picked this item up when I purchased a new HDD for my PS3 and wanted to use the old 40gb HDD for media on my PC. This was the least expensive 2.5 inch HDD enclosure, so I bit.
It works fine, but is more dainty than I thought it would be. It is merely an enclosure; a sata port that happens to have a piece of aluminum surrounding it. I would definitely not take this thing on the road. I found the instructions laughable - perhaps one of the worst translating jobs of all time. However, I did get through it and managed to create a dedicated media server HDD. If you are going to use this to supplement a desktop machine, it is an adequate enclosure. If you plan on being mobile with it, you will be disappointed.
