5 out of 5 stars Excellent Laptop Hard Drive Enclosure   October 5, 2008
This drive enclosure works great. I have a 5400 RPM SATA drive connected in it right now. The drive enclosure uses two USB ports in order to power the drive.

There isn't too much to this thing. Just plug the drive in then screw the enclosure back together. Exactly what I wanted.



1 out of 5 stars Flimsy quality, dead on arrival   September 22, 2008
I've had plenty of external USB hard drive enclosures and needed to cheaply pick up one more for a spare drive, so I figured this one would do the job as well as any. Not quite. I was a bit turned off by the loose feeling connection between the enclosure and my hard drive as well as the fact that the plastic was flaking off literally as I was putting it all together, but I wasn't expecting a top quality product for $17. I *was*, however, expecting it to at least work. I've tried this enclosure with both Windows XP and Linux, with one or both of the USB plugs on the Y-cable connected, every USB port on my computer, praying ... Besides the little green light on the enclosure lighting up, nothing else happens and the computer just doesn't see the new hardware at all. So right back to Amazon this enclosure goes.


4 out of 5 stars SATA 2.5in enclosure   September 18, 2008
Quite good, if u dont want to spend alot of money on an enclosure its actually very good, instantly portable, and only requires 2 usb ports with no power cables.

also includes a pouch/case



3 out of 5 stars Good but not as good as you expect   September 5, 2008
 0 out of 2 found this review helpful

If this hard drive works for a long time, it will become very hot. My computer is Lenovo Thinkpad. It's very quiet and cool before, I bought this hard drive to replace the original hard drive. When I changed, something are different. first, the reading and writing speed become faster. That's the good thing. On the other hand, my notebook become hotter and begins to generate more noise than before. So what you choose: speed or cooling down?


1 out of 5 stars Did not work with PC or PS3   August 24, 2008
I inserted a 2.5" HDD into this enclosure, but it was not recognized at all by either my Dell PC or my PlayStation 3 after connecting the it with the USB cable. I then bought an enclosure made by a different company, inserted the same 2.5" HDD, and it was promptly recognized by both the computer and the PS3. Clearly, the HDD was fine; the StarTech enclosure was the problem. This StarTech product was 100% useless and I threw it in the trash.
