 No hassle... no fuss... it just works !! December 27, 2005

This is a very small case (just as big as the 2.5" HDD it encloses) without any cooling fan or antishock protection that would make it for the long haul... it's not for any road warrior, it works best for technicians or someone who want to use an old spare HDD left out from a notebook or may need to fix a bad HDD from a crashed notebook. Don't take it along with your gear since it won't protect your HDD that much or use it for long periods of time since the HDD can get very hot and there's no ventilation or fan but the good part is that it does work as expected with stable USB 2.0 data speeds.
 USB power no good for drives over 30gb October 26, 2007

I bought this enclosure for a 100gb 2.5" hard drive I had. Problem is, apparently the power supplied by the USB port is not always sufficient. I have several PCs at home, and the drive would not stay connected on any of them if I used a USB 2.0 port (drive would constantly disconnect). One of my PCs has only USB 1.0, and the drive did stay connected long enough for me to format the drive.
This enclosure seems to be more stable if you plug into USB 1 port, but that really defeats the advantage of having a USB 2.0 drive.
When reading the "troubleshooting" section of the manual, it states that drives over 30gb might not have sufficient power from the USB port. It also states that any drive that draws more than 500A cannot be powered by the USB port. You also can't use a hub, unless it is self powered, and the drive has a dedicated 5V 500A supplied to it. There is no way to supply external power to the enclosure except through the double USB cord that comes with the enclosure)

The device did not worked at all. Tax + S&H doubled the price so I ended up paying 14USD for nothing. Tried to contat TigerDirect & Sabrent via e-mail, no reply received. No wonder the price is 7USD, DO NOT BUY IT!

Is not the nicest 2.5" Hard Drive case in the market. But it really works. It's ok for me.

The product does exactly what it is supposed to do! It is the easiest/quickest way to connect your laptop (2.5" IDE) hard drive to any computer that has a USB (works with USB1.1 and USB2.0) port. It even comes with a CD that contains driver for Windows 98.
The reason I bought this - my laptop started having video card problems within the warranty period and before I shipped the laptop off to the manufacturer I wanted to backup my data.
