The seller was very easy to work with and prompt with delivery. It works perfectly and we did not lose any data. After having to tear apart my laptop due to a problem, we decided to go with the hard drive enclosure and connect the laptop drive to our desktop. Great idea. I highly recommend this product.
Conclusions: This is a very inexpensive enclosure that is ideal if you plan on giving it light use. If you need a high quality enclosure, you might want to choose a different one. 2) Requires two USB connectors to function properly. The tiny screws used to secure the drive closed are pretty poor. I didn't need a high quality enclosure, just one that would get the job done while transfer files from my old hard drive to the new one. I bought this to facilitate replacing a hard drive in an older model notebook using Arconis True Image. This enclosure worked perfectly for my purposes and now serves as a back up drive for the computer.Pros: 1) Price is right 2) A very nice looking enclosure 3) Good transfer speeds over USB 2.0 Cons: 1) Not impressive in build quality. If your laptop doesn't have two USB connectors right next to each other, this could prevent you from using the drive at all.
How many times have you been asked (after your computer crashes) did you backup everything. So I bought this to try to salvage what was on my hard drive.it took me longer to open the package than it did to begin recovering my files. It's not gold plated, it's not air conditioned, no sexy rubber feet.it's simply a tool that does as advertised.I also read other reviews complaining about it not working for hard drives larger than 30GB. The reviews were mixed, but because it was only $12.50, I figured what did I have to lose. My hard drive was 40 GB, and it read and copied my drive with no problems. This drive saved me.
Not true for me. I have to admit I was a bit skeptical when I bought this device. The background problem.all of a sudden my 7 year old Dell Inspiron 9100 would not boot. I can now say that my computer crashed, and then I backed up everything.thanks to this product.This isn't a style product.
Great product to allow your laptop hard drive be used as an external drive. Great product.
A minor note, don't buy Alienware products they are awful. Windows Vista picked up the drive as soon as it was plugged in and installed the correct drivers.
So it's a good idea to have your own screwdriver for the assembly. This came in handy since I had two 100 gig drives that needed more power.
Amazing I know :)It is nice that the kit also comes with a dual USB cable to ensure you can power larger hard drives. Both are very cheap and if you need to apply any sort of force to fasten the faceplate to the shell, you will strip the heads off the screwdriver or screws.
I purchased two of these enclosures due to an Alienware laptop that bit the dust. The kits are extremely simple to use and worked without issue.
The only quibble I had with the kit was the quality of the fasteners and enclosed screwdriver.
