Rating: 4 of 5 Great Little 2.5 Inch Enclosure
I like this little enclosure cause it is sleek & compact. It doesn't have that swimming pool aluminum ladder feel 2 it like some enclosures I've seen. It is plug & play. I bought two of them & the only thing I would change is having more than one color 4 the SATAdrive version. Oh yeah the screws that secure or seal the case could be handled in a better way. It is almost as if they are an afterthought as it takes some effort 2 fully thread them down so they are flush with the surface of the case. A plug exists on the plugins panel 4 auxiliary power supply. This so you can use the aux connector Y-ed off the main USB2.0 that would free up a USB2.0 port on the computer. I didn't see it mentioned on the manufacturer's site. Wouldn't be the first time I didn't see something.
