True Plug & Play
(5 out of 5) by Steve Spencer on Dec 1, 2007If you have a mac all you have to do is put the hard drive in the case (not hard) and plug in the cable. Done!

Rugged, works great
(5 out of 5) by S. Jones on Aug 2, 2007 (Central Ohio)Nice case, good form factor. Have used the unit as a USB 2.0 external drive, have not tried the FW400 interface as yet. No problems.

This is a good one
(5 out of 5) by R. Anderson on Jun 7, 2007 (Petoskey, MI USA)This is my second unit. I love them both. I noticed a review that stated that these units are user friendly, do believe it. These are very easy to use. The documentation that comes with it really isn't even necessary. Like one of the other reviewers I upgraded my powerbook and had a perfectly good drive so the solution was obvious. I searched the net pretty thoroughly and couldn't find any thing this good, this reasonably priced.
It's very easy to attach your drive to sled, then just slide the sled into the housing and attach the ends and your done.
My only complaint is an extremely minor one, the blue power on light is a little bright. But a piece of tape, of something placed in front of it does the trick

It works!
(5 out of 5) by H. Alavi on May 13, 2007 (Augusta, GA)After upgrading my Powerbook, I had a 20 gig harddrive just sitting around. Now it works as a back up HD. No power supply needed if used with a 6 pin firewire cord. You still need to hook up to USB port if you use a 4 pin cord. Comes with great instructions and all the cords needed. The LED is quite bright so don't stare at it too long! Well worth the money.

Nice little enclosure
(5 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on May 6, 2007This enclosure has been bullet proof for me. Easy to install the drive. Plug and play. FireWire as well as USB. This really is a nice little enclosure. The only negative I can come up with is that the LED on the front of the case burns very bright.
If you need a 2.5 USB/FireWire enclosure, this is the one to purchase.
