Not Enough Info

I'm not going to give this a bad review just because lack of info or knowledge on my part. This case is for an IDE hard drive. I didn't notice this until I got it. I needed a SATA. So I just wanted to warn people.

Does what it should

A great value for the money. Yes, the screws are small, but a proper sized screw driver will do the job. It's fast and the laptop drive stays cool. It works well, period. This is my third Vantec drive enclosure and they are all good products.

Works Great -- Very Small Screws

I bought this drive cover to make use of an old drive I salvaged from a dead laptop. Installation is very difficult only because of these tiny, tiny screws that have to be put in place. Otherwise, it works great and we have had no problems using it on our two computers.
