Supporting SATA III and USB 3 this is the cheapest enclosure I've found so far, more USB3/SATA2 or USB2/SATA2 enclosure price, yet it isn't cheap and nasty. Brushed aluminium body and plastic end plates. If I had any criticism of the quality, may be the anodising is a little thin, seems to chip quite easily. Complete with UK power adapter, unlike some enclosures that come with a 2 pin European supply. Easy to fit drives into, the instructions could have covered fitting the stand, which screws to use and how to fit the pads, for completeness but it's easy enough to work out. Overall very happy with this enclosure. I have two of them and wouldn't hesitate to buy more if I needed to.

I think this has been a repaired unit there are a lot of dry solder joints on the connector that attaches to the Harddrive it still works so I left it the unit will not shut down when not on use but that's fine for my purpose it does work great a case it well designed yet a cooling fan would not go a miss for future designs.

Was a bit apprehensive after reading some of the reviews but needn`t have worried. Product arrived well packaged with all items packaged separately. having read some of the other reviews I new what to look out for. Be careful of the screws, particularly the small black ones - there are four in two pairs. Be sure to use the smallest of them for fixing the tray into the cover, the longer ones are for fixing he stand feet! Maybe I was lucky but the hard drive fitted into the tray with no problem with alignment inserted the screws to hold it in place and slid into the cover, fixing it with the smallest of the black screws. Switched on land bingo it all worked first time and has been working OK for the past few weeks. I`d have no hesitation in recommending this product!

My 4TB Network-Attached Storage NAS was great for backing up a PC across my network, but almost useless for backing up my Mac. File systems different, disk format different, whatever - it took 9 days to backup a half-gig MacBook, then a whole day for anything new, and so often it would stop and insist on another 9-day epic from scratch instead. So, I've that nice big 4TB drive spare, easy to unscrew and unplug from the NAS, and this enclosure lets me just as easily tidily secure and connect that disk inside it. My NAS disk is now a directly-connected USB 3 external disk. They provide the screws and even a screwdriver! It stands on its own supplied feet, all the connections and the indicator light on the same edge, UK power brick, data cable supplied brings top-speed USB 3 straight to the MacBbook, ready to go in minutes! Just a quick disk reformat, few more minutes, and initial complete backup and then clone of my MacBook Pro, 500GB, takes just a few hours. Magic. Differential backup of new and changed files now takes minutes, where the NAS took almost a day. Couple of observations: 1) There's what appears to be a tiny LED indicator. At night, you can go into the room and think it is a cinema, that tiny LED gives HUGE bright blue light output! Black felt-tip pen used to darken this wasn't enough, needed some black tape to reduce the glare. It's fine in a brightly-lit room, though. It flashes whenever it's doing something and is bright steady when it's doing nothing - I'd rather it stayed dark when inactive. Small trivial detail, this. 2) The UK power adaptor plugs into a 3-pin socket, but the low-voltage power lead for this enclosure comes out of the top of the plug, not the bottom. So it looks awkward in a wall socket where normally cables come downwards. Another very small detail. Overall, if you have a modern (SATA) big-capacity hard disk and need to backup a Mac, this enclosure is a top-speed way to do it. I researched other similar enclosures at cheaper prices, many from the Far East, but the combination of latest high-speed data transfer, UK power supply, and UK delivery costs and speed put this one way out in front for me. JOY ! - rapid backup at last!Read full review

I had a spare 2Gb SATA HD lying around and decided to use it to create an archive of my work that I could store offsite. The enclosure comes in a box with all cables and even a little screwdriver to fit all of the fiddly little screws. Put the drive in the enclosure, tightened up the screws. Plugged it into the USB and power. Little blue LED light came on. HD was connected. format the drive and start backing up. Its as easy as that. No noise - no fan. Works great. Would recommend for anyone who wants to turn a SATA HD into an external drive.
