I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this product. Within five minutes of opening the box, I had the hard drive installed and functioning. Highly recommend.

This is really a nice little hd enclosure and it’s quieter than my other ones.

An excellant choice for anyone who needs a hard drive enclosure. It,s very easy to install, works flawlessly, and is quite stylish. I particular liked the included carrying bag that protects the exceptional finish on the unit while not in use. I highly recommend this product.

I usually wipe hard drives on old computers and then donate them. However, I had an old laptop that was pretty worthless except for the 80GB Western Digital hard drive.
Based on other reviews, I took a chance on this enclosure. Though this is the first time I’ve actually pulled a hard drive for re-use, this enclosure made the process a snap.
I just did a complete backup of my desktop (I highly recommend Acronis True Image software). I put the great looking hard drive in its case and put it aside for my next backup.
Long term use will, of course, be a good test. However, I’m inclined to think this enclosure will outlast the hard drive and can probably be re-used if necessary.
A real value buy!

This has to be one of the nicest enclosures on the market today. I have bought many enclosures in the past but this one by far is the best. The case feels very strong and with a satin finish. I’ve bought 2 of the NexStar SATA enclosures and 1 of the 3.5 IDE drive enclosures as well. My best friend after checking out the product bought one also because of the quality.
