Most Helpful First | Newest First | + ShareVery nice enclosure
(5 out of 5) by D. Varsos on Jul 12, 2009 (Commack, NY United States)This is a very nice enclosure, easy to setup and you get an esata cable along with USB, and power that plugs into USB port.
I use it with a 320GB sata drive and works fine, with both interfaces, esata & usb. It is slightly taller that an iphone, because it has some foam on one end I guess for cushioning. It comes with a small screwdriver and 4 eyglasses screws. Easy to put together.
Finaly it has a leather looking case with 2 compartments one for the drive and one for the cables.
The bottom line, it works.

2.5" hard drive enclosure
(4 out of 5) by Paul Kaplan on Jun 22, 2009 (Phoenix, AZ USA)The 2.5" hard drive enclosure was easy to use. Attach the hard drive to the main SATA 'mechanism' and then slide the drive and 'mechanism' into aluminum sleeve, attach using two screws and it's ready to be used. It does get warm while being used and has no fan but so far runs without problems. It comes with a black carrying case and USB cable. There is a port for a optional power supply but so far hasn't been needed and get is power through the USB cable.
These work perfectly
(5 out of 5) by R. Osborne on May 26, 2009This enclosure works great I now have 3 of them, one I use with my DVR (ESATA connection), one with a USB/NAS adapter, and one I use with my laptop where I alternate between ESATA and USB. The installation was easy. It uses eyeglass size screws, and includes a screwdriver so you don't need to go out and buy one specifically for this. I am using 2 WDC scorpio drives and a hitachi 320G drive and they have worked flawlessly.
Everything you need!!!
(5 out of 5) by Tirso Julio Ramírez Pérez on May 2, 2009Includes screwdriver, two extra screws, eSata cable, usb mini and usb power (only needed when using eSata) and a pouch with space for the cables.
Slim + Sturdy + Standard USB Connector = Easily Portable
(5 out of 5) by Lawrence Maccherone Jr. on Feb 6, 2009 (Pittsburgh, PA)The case is barely bigger than a laptop hard drive and it's very rugged so I don't even bother with the pouch which would add bulk. This means that it takes up almost no room in my laptop case.
When hooked up to USB, it's powered by that single connector so you don't need any additional cables. Also the mini USB connector is the same one as on my Blackberry and camera so when I travel with the drive, I don't bring any dedicated cables to operate it.
Only when I'm home and using it to do backups, do I use the high-speed eSATA and USB power-only cable (yes, the drive ships with a total of three cables).
