Customer Rating:      Summary: Don't buy the wrong version - this is not for recent SATA drives Comment: This is NOT the right unit for a so-called SATA drive such as is found in recent Mac notebooks. Unless you are an expert you may not realize this and have to send it back - it only fits the older IDE drives. There is a different box by Macally which starts SPHR... Wish Amazon would explain this more clearly for non-geeks. I'm giving it one star because of the poor description.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Just what I was looking for Comment: Nice, very handdle but you have to use a screw driver each time you want swap disks, unless you just put the HD inside without using the screws. Not overheating and very nice shape.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Perfect functionality, near-perfect design. Comment: The enclosure operates as expected. Currently using it on a Mac which didn't require any 3rd party driver installations. The drive is snug and secure within the enclosure. The aluminum body is solid and pleasing to the eye. Comes with a firewire cable, a USB 2.0 cable, as well as a USB->DC cable. (Nice touch).
The only complaints I have about this enclosure is the unnecessarily bright LED. This thing can light up a dark room. The front and back of the enclosure are cheap plastic instead of aluminum. Finally, there is little shock absorption between the case and the drive, but it is held so snugly inside this shouldn't matter much.
Overall an awesome enclosure.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great HD Case Comment: I bought this unit to retreave data from my dead laptop's hard disk drive. I pulled the HD from the laptop and installed it in the case in about two minutes using only a small phillips screwdriver. No experiance required. I plugged it into the USB port on my desktop. Fired right up and I retrieved my data. Now it will be my backup for my desktop. Great product.
Customer Rating:      Summary: sturdy, convenient, user-friendly Comment: I'm not particularly computer-savvy, but this worked great. It's perhaps a bit expensive compared to what else is out there, but I figured this wasn't something to skimp on. The instructions are great, and my computer recognized it and I was able to retrieve data as soon as I connected via USB. Truly Plug n Play. I haven't tried the firewire connection yet. The actual housing case is sturdy, and there's a supplied nylon carry case, which I think is a nice touch. Overall, very happy with this purchase.
