2.5" SATA USB 2.0 HDD Enclosure with Leather Pouch - Red

Pros: Cheap, easy way to recycle old laptop HDD. Built seems sturdy, nice colors Y USB cable

Cons: No screw to hold the case shut. It's only pressure tabs that can be opened very easily. HAd to put some tape to make sure the back wouldn't open. Not the most aesthetic. Could really use at least one small screw in the back to hold case shut.

Other: Very nice case, cheap, put needs a better way to close than just knobs

Pros: Package includes a pouch, which prevents scratches and USB Y cable if 1 USB port does not provide enough power. I did not need the second USB plug on my PC and Wii. Which leads me to the next positive part: It works with the Wii. Furthermore: No screws, so open the casing, slide the SATA disk in and close the casing; your done. Casing is tight enough to keep itself closed.

Cons: None at all, really! Maybe the USB and SATA logo's should not be printed onto the casing to make it look better.

Other: Cheap, easy to use, best casing I know of :)

Pros: Nice and quick delivery.
Very easy to install a hard drive.
Plug and play operation with my computer (Windows 7).
Hard drive fits inside the case very snugly (so it won't bounce or shake around inside the case once it is installed).

Cons: Case is very lightweight (just an observation, it is not really a con).
The case uses friction rather than screws or fasteners to hold the two halves together (the fit is nice and snug and friction is sufficient to hold the two halves together very well).

Other: Very good buy for the price.

Pros: So easy to install a hard drive
i've had a few old hard drives and dead external hard drives fail in the past and i keep buying these great externals every time i get another one

Cons: No cons, except you would be better off to throw away the cable that comes with the drive and get SKU 28983, there is no need to have a 2-1 USB cable

Other: I keep buying more for the hard drives that i find
i would recommend this product to all of my friends
i would also recommend anyone to also get SKU 28983 as i stated above

Pros: Dirt cheap, works, is red, it doesn't take up very much space as it is barely larger than the drive itself.

Cons: Might be made out of recycled coke cans... Seriously thin and nothing but a little indention holding the halves together...

Other: If you need something cheap and pinkish red that will mainly sit in one place, this is it.

Pros: Does what it is supposed to do. It was recognized immediately on winxp. The drive attaches firmly with 4 screws. The case closes firmly and does not alllow the drive to move. Usb cable is good and long enough, I didn't have to use the extra cable but it's there.

Cons: It was hard to open the back of the case in order to screw in the drive. Guys, it goes: Push in the clip, lift, push out toward the other end. Lifting is the hardest thing.

Other: Good.

Pros: * Lightweight enclosure, easy to bring along * Includes a Y-USB cable for use with drives needing more power than one USB port can supply. * Includes a protective pouch or sleeve

Cons: * No space for HDD shielding or screws * Metal case may be too thin to provide sufficient protection for hard use, so take care * No shock-absorbing for drive, so avoid bumps and drops, especially when drive is running * Case fits nicely initially, but may become loose over time - can be fixed with adhesive tape (or a rubber band) - or by using the included protective pouch * The edge of the outer case half feels a bit sharp and may scratch delicate surfaces - mask it with tape or use the included pouch

Other: Recommended: It's a good and cheap solution for reusing surplus laptop drives - Buy the number and colours to suit your needs!

Pros: I was in need of a USB enclosure for my 2.5" drive & I got one of these in black. Then came back & order more in the Red they came in very handy. I have these for data back up & transferring files for friend & family. I like these because they are durable & inexpensive

Cons: not really a con but the bottom of the case could use a piece of the anti-static plastic because it almost touches the circuit board of the hard drive. but cutting a piece from the Hard-drive bag that it came in works well

Other: I will be getting more & also they are inexpensive enough that if they do get dinged easy to swap out the drive & put into another case

Pros: Light and easy to open. Good build compared to price. No tools needed with opening.

Cons: There is no support for HDD in closure. Dropping while in use will surely break HDD. You can try padding it on your own, but enclosure is quite slim, so there is no extra space in it.

Other: Great enclosure for cheap price.

Pros: Easy to use, just put your standard 2,5" HDD (f.ex. from an old notebook) in it, plug it in your computer and you have an external HDD. I have no problems with notebooks and PC-s, Win7, WinXP, and Ubuntu >10s are all recognised it as external harddrive. Reliable.

Cons: Made from cheap metal, it could be easely underlay. The USB-cable included is a little sloppy, I reccomend you to buy http://dx.com/p/usb-5-pin-data-charging-cable-20cm-28983 , I use it with this blue wonder.

Other: Good and cheap stuff to use your old notebook HDD as external mass storage, saves you lots of currency. I really like it.
