"Great enclosure"
I upgradre my Dell Inspiron 9400 Western Digital Scorpio 320 GB Hard Drive, purchased this to put my original 80 GB HD. I even didn't need the second USB conector for extra power.The file transfer performance is extremely good, the enclosure is lightweight, really portable.

"Just what I needed"
My laptop recently crashed. It would not turn on at all. Customer service said the motherboard was probably fried. I desperately wanted to recover my photos and other files. Someone told me how to remove my hard drive from the lap top and that I needed a Sata hard drive enclosure for my hard drive. I ordered this one. It came quickly. I opened it right away and and inserted my hard drive. (Oh, I had to take off one end of the hard drive before I could insert it in my new enclosure. It was just taking out two screws) . Then, I plugged the end cap of the enclosure onto my hard drive and slipped it into the aluminum sleeve. Then I put in the two TINY screws to secure it. I plugged it in with the 2 usb cables. At first my computer wanted to autoplay. Just cancel any pop up screens. Go to My Computer and find the new drive. Actually, two new drives showed up on my computer. One was called ???/can't remember (recovery maybe), but it was only 10GB. The other was about 138 GB. That looked more like it. Right click on it and Explore. I clicked on Users, then my name, then My Pictures. Woo Hoo! There they were. I was very nervous that they wouldn't be there. The directions say you have to format the hard drive before you use it, but I didn't need to. I plan on formatting when I get all of the information I need off of it. I've only had it for about 2 hours, but I am so happy I found my pictures. It also seems pretty solid.

"Good for price but not the best"
I bought this enclosure so I could clone my hard drive on my laptop to the 250gb WD 2.5 inch sata hard drive I bought. This enclosure is good for such things and now it holds my old hard drive which I use as a backup. Sometimes the enclosure wont work, I would have to unplug it and plug it in back onto my laptop until the hard drive was picked up. other than that its an ok product, transfer speeds aren't that bad and this is a good item so it can store your hard drive as a back-up and I wouldn't recommend traveling around with it since it doesn't look very road durable.

"Great enclosure for swapped out PS3 hard drives!"
After replacing the included hard drive in my Sony PS3 with a 320GB unit, I needed a simple and reliable enclosure install the now un-used hard drive to use elsewhere. This hard drive enclosure is a perfect fit for any of the PS3 hard drives (80GB, in my case), and requires nothing extra to work with any PC as a back-up.

My enclosure (the StarTech SAT2510U2) fit together perfectly (small screw holes, that is) with no problems and attatching it to the old PS3 hard drive was very easy. The enclosure stays cool to the touch after prolonged use, and I only use one plug of the included Y-shaped USB cable to power it thru my PC.

In all, a sure-fire easy to assemble/install/use enclosure for anyone needing to use their swapped out PS3 hard drives elsewhere.

"Good product"
This product performed as advertised. I use it 320GB WD Scorpio drive. Everything you need is in the box, and installing the drive was very quick.
