OK so I ordered this external hard drive case so I could use the HD from my late sadly inop iMac. It was an “Ultra ATA” drive. I had no idea that the connectors would be different. Who would have thunk! Obviously when you are trying to save an old hard drive you will need to be clear on whether you have he old style or the new connectors. Yes, I did send it back and ordered another brand after much research…still not knowing what the old and new connectors were called. It too was wrong. A picture would have been helpful. I’m sure it is worthy of five stars but I can’t say for sure so three stars.

I had no problem installing a hard drive in the enclosure, but it would have been nice if the enclosure could have been opened without the use of a screwdriver. The instructions could have been a little more thorough about getting the unit working. I plugged it in, and my computer recognized new hardware and installed it and told me it was working properly. Unfortunately, the drive was not recognized and assigned a drive letter. I went online to the drive manufacturer’s site and got instructions on “initializing” the drive. This info really should have been included with the drive enclosure in my opinion. Once I got it properly installed, the drive works great. Quiet and cool.

I purchased this by mistake as it looks very similar to the one that has firewire and usb ports. but it doesnt, so i returned it. i now have the Firewire one and they are very nice cases HD stays cool, it has all the features i would expect easy in and out. Good cases.

The case is nice and solid. I have yet to get the eSATA portion working so I am using just the USB connection at the moment.

Good quality, it’s a nice match for any Mac equipment. It has two kinds of feet to keep it more stable as having it the way it is pictured, it will fall over easily. This one does not have firewire, although I will tell you that if you have more than one drive connected, Firewire will begin to look very attractive, but that is not a problem with this product. It comes with cables. One thing, it looks much more professional than most other enclosures: it doesn’t look like a case a computer geek looking to save $5 would pick because it isn’t the cheapest Chinese enclosure.
