Works for me!
(4 out of 5) by cjohnson317 on Feb 14, 2009 (Northern Virginia)I had a SimpleTech drive that I thought went bad. When I could hear the drive spin up yet received a faulty USB connection error message on several computers I connected it to, I cracked open the housing and took out the drive.
I found it was PATA and I searched online for a cheap replacement. I found this model and ordered it. It's extremely compact. Don't expect any shock absorption from the housing but it worked great with the 2.5 PATA drive and I was able to get back at my data.
I've only used it 3 times for 15 minute use since I got it. I cannot attest to it's functional longevity. It's perfect for laptop travel and large USB transfer use. I don't recommend this model for an always on external housing.

Retrieved my files!
(5 out of 5) by S. R. Wulkan on Jan 30, 2009My laptop hard drive was not loading Windows XP. I thought I would lose EVERYTHING on my computer. I was going to Best Buy Geek Squad to retrieve the data for a couple hundred bucks. Friend suggested a hard drive enclosure. This SAVED me a lot of money and stress.
Remove your old HD and put it in this enclosure. Plug it into a USB port on a working computer and it shows up as a new external drive. Copy all your data to safely back it up.
No stress! Easy to do! Instant satisfaction! You can buy them fairly cheap anywhere.

(5 out of 5) by K. Nagata on Dec 6, 2008 (MI)I purchase this to use my old laptop hard drive. It works great! Open the case and insert HD. That's it. Connect USB cable and rock-n-roll! No problem with it what so ever.
