 Rating:  - Works but not as well as it shouldI was surprised to see that the cable is a full USB to full USB, not the mini USB normal for external drives. It works most of the time, but has difficulty connecting some times. I would not want to rely on it for every day use. I used it for getting data off a swapped out drive, and for that it was okay. Spend a bit more and get something better. Rating:  - Does what it says on the tinI was a bit unsure about this product, I was worried that it might not fit, that it would need an additional power pack etc. Opened it up connected the HDD to the socket on the case, plugged in the USB and withind 2 mins I was accessing all the files I thought I had lost on my old laptops HDD. If your old laptop is dead, whip out the HDD and get one of these bad boys. Prob not recomended for long term use as there is no fan. Rating: - Outstanding productI wholeheartedly recommend this product to those seeking to gain sokme use from their old laptop 2.5" IDE HDD. Couldnt be simpler to use - even i worked it out!! Absolute bargain. Worked with my 80gb HDD. Extremely fast transfer rate, ultra slimline, come with leather carry case and 2 lenghts of USB cable, free delivery Buy Now!! Rating: - Excellent productThis indeed must be one of the cheapest and best buys I have made on amazon. I received this item today. For £5.99 including delivery, you are getting much more than you paid for. Not only does it come with the nice, cool, black aluminium Magnesium alloy casing, but also with a leather casing, usb cables, screws (And screwdriver) and driver CD. The product works perfectly. I have tried it on a USB2 and USB1.1 connection and works like a charm. However, I have tried it on a USB2 cardbus but unfortuanetly it did not work on that. I do not know the reason why, because the ports are working perfectly. And as stated earlier, the USB 1.1 ports on this same laptop, the harddrive works perfectly. I actually have two problems, albeit small, with the product. One is the USB cable. The USB cables it comes with is a 3 of the same USB connection. Basically one USB connection is connected to the caddy, and the other two into your laptop/computer. This means it takes up 2 USB ports. This may not be that much of a problem for some, I mean these days computers come with several USB ports. However, the problem is in the replacement of the USB cable in the event of loss or failure. Are "3-way USB" connection much easier to come by than say a mini-USB to USB?? And do people have them lying around in the case you forgot yours? The second problem is the lack of manuals. The product doesn't come with any manuals at all. However, it is not rocket science in putting the stuff together, however, finding your way thru the driver CD certainly is for newbies. The driver CD at first look, is full of folders with names/numbers that make no sense (most likely of model numbers). You would need to explore each folder if you need something your looking for. However, on my Windows XP, it worked perfectly without drivers, but on older operating systems this may not be the case. The drivers are for Win OS's only. And finally, because i'm feeling picky, I would have prefered the screw colour to be black rather than silver so to match the casing. But heck, we can't have it all :) So to conclude: Certainly a good buy, and I would definetly recommend it to others. Rating:  - Does not connect to 2.5" SATA Hard Drive.I found that the connections for my removable PS3 2.5" SATA Hard Drive did not match this enclosure.
