Nice Little Enclosure!! July 28, 2010 Groden Nice Little Enclosure. Only complaint is that i had to buy a screw driver that was small enough. would have paid a couple more dollars for it to come with one.
It does a great job dissipating heat. I took the time to put a couple of rubber feet on the bottom to help with air flow.
Almost perfect July 8, 2010 ho j jun Like other users said about the bad screws, I have to agree.
I would recommend a #0 phillips.
I used a #00 phillips and stripped one screw. Had to use some creative work to remove it.
Tips for those who only have a #00, PRESS DOWN HARD before you unscrew it.
The first one i stripped i didn't push down hard enough,
the second one i stripped a little bit (maybe 1-2 rotations) but it came out with much needed pressure.
Other than the problem above, pretty easy to use. Not for those who are planning to swap hdds in and out of this enclosure.
Excellent enclosure June 15, 2010 doug (San Antonio, TX USA) Simple. I had an extra laptop hard drive. Got this case to use it as a backup. Two screws opened the end; the drive plugged in perfectly, closed up and it works fine. Looks excellent. The drive needs 1 amp, and a USB port is limited to 0.5 amp, so you have to use the supplied "two-headed" cable. This enclosure exceeded my expectations. My wife thinks it looks great too.
Great value for the $$$ May 27, 2010 D. O'Reilly (Colorado Springs, CO USA) This is a nice piece of packaging. Slim, quiet, radiates heat quite nicely. I bought two of them and have been very happy with them.
Pros: excellent value, good-quality aluminum case
Cons: the tiny screws required a trip to Home Depot to get a set of precision screwdrivers to find one with a small enough bit to open the case. An included screwdriver would be nice.
Bad quality screws May 23, 2010 F. Villaman 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The screws came too tight and of bad quality (the head got damaged by trying to loose it). I managed to get 3 of 4 loose and had to break one of the plastic end cover to be able to enclose the disk. It is working though.
