I just received this item last night. Loaded my hard drive into the case, plugged it in and up and running in less than 2 minutes. Those who complain about the small screws must have never repaired a pair of glasses before. These screws are slightly larger than eyeglass screws and very manageable. AWESOME PRODUCT.

I purchased to have a way to access a 100gb drive I removed from my old Gateway laptop. The housing is great quality, was easy to install the drive in the case. The USB cable is good quality, with a long portion and short (8") portion if you need it for a second power connection. I didn't need the 2nd connector with the drive I put in the housing. THe case has an LED.. is green when plugged in and idle, and flickers yellow with drive access... I'm very satisfied with the housing... small, sleek, and easy to setup. Didn't need drivers for Vista. The drive runs cool..very cool, and very quiet in the case as well. Great buy for the money, even if purchased at regular price... Would highly recommend to anyone !

Wonderfully simple to use. Totally plug and play on every machine i have tried (good thing since there isn't any driver/install disc). Light, compact and self powered. Everything you would want in a 2.5" drive enclosure. Not as easy to swap the hdds in and out as other enclosures i have, but this one works for the application i purchased it for. It loads slow, or not at all, but that is also due to the drive i have in it. I was disappointed that there was no status LED on the front of the drive, but you can't really beat the price.

Additional thoughts after using this extensively --- it's a superb value for the money, but watch out! As soon as you plug the drive into a powered USB port, the hard drive begins spinning... and it never spins down! If you shut the computer down, the power to the device is cut abruptly; likewise, if you unplug the USB cable, the power is also cut abruptly. It doesn't make a difference if you "safely remove" or "eject" the device --- the power is always simply cut while the drive is still spinning. There is no way that I have found to spin the drive down without cutting the power. It is is NOT healthy for hard drives to cut the power while the drive is spinning. Every time you use this enclosure, you may be risking damage to your drive. I'm not a hard drive expert. But it's certainly not *good* to power down your drives abruptly while they're still spinning. ...that said, I use mine all the time. I have the SATA version of this too and it's pretty much the same. Neither of my drives have died yet. But my advice would be: if you have the extra cash, pay for a better enclosure (if you can find one.) It's not fun to take unnecessary risks when it comes to the safety of your data.

Bought this from Shop4Tech and received it quickly. Easy installation of drive - yes the screws are tiny! Have used it several times with several different laptop drives and it has worked every time! The case is very small and light which is great for transporting and it comes with a sleeve to add some padding. Doubt it would survive if I dropped it - not much space between the housing and the drive, but that seems normal these days. Housing is a lightweight aluminum and is nice looking! Hope I don't lose the dual end usb cable! Doesn't work with just one end plugged in.

Works great with my Samsung NC10 netbook. I was worried that there might be power issues, but to my pleasant surprise this worked without a hitch! Took about 2 minutes to set up. Using with an old Toshiba IDE hard drive from a dead Compal CL56. Other Thoughts: be sure that the hard drive you intend to put in here has an IDE interface, and not SATA! Most 2.5" drives are SATA these days.

Didn't work at first. Disconnected the drive, then plugged it back in and then it worked.

Very easy to install your hard drive and the most important this is very small. Highly recommended.

Worked great with an old 80gb WD hdd. Screws are tiny but fit. Needs 2 usb for power but thats the norm. Runs quiet and cool.

Nice overall experience. The enclosure works great and I just placed an order for some dvd-r media. I hope I have the same results with those.

This drive is bus-powered, and the drives I have tried in it do not mount reliably given the USB 2.0 ports I've tried. It might be helpful to use a 2x1 USB port splitter cable to get more than 500 mA, but I'm generally unhappy with this enclosure. In this case, you get what you pay for.
