Nice looking works great
Put a 2.5'' 1TB Samsung in it. I was afraid the .85W it required could not be supplied by the USB. If I used the split cable it would probably be ok, but luckily I had a 5v adapter from another enclosure. The blue LED is happily flashing as it copies from my old 5.25'' backup. Plan to put it on esata on a different computer when it is finished.

Not as well designed as it looks
This enclosure looks great but lacks some simple design elements that would warrant a full 5 star review. First, the power cord is only 4' long and has the converter on the plug end. This is a huge pain since I had to purchase another power surge strip since it wouldn't fit in my current one. Second, the lights on the front show the product name and barely blink when the drive is in use. It would have been much better to include another light just to indicate ''use''.

Excellent hd enclosure
I bought the non esata version 4 years ago and is still kicking. Now with this esata version I can use it for a lot more. The construction is great, it feels really strong. Excellent enclosure.

Excellent enclosure
I have two of these units (one black, one blue), and two of the large versions (the 3.5'' size). All of them work flawlessly. These are definitely pricey, considering you can get basic enclosures online for less than 10 bucks, but they're definitely the cream of the crop. Rugged and solidly built, and they use screws to secure the drive and the frame -- much more reliable than the so-called ''toolless'' designs. Maximum drive height for these units is 9.5mm -- and there is not a single mm to spare. At 9.5mm, the top of the drive is in contact with the shell. Which is great for thermal conductivity. Take care not to scratch the drive when inserting it. One small gripe is that there are no ''feet'' on this to speak of. There are a couple tiny plastic pimples molded into the frame, but I attached some small aftermarket foam pads to give it real protection against scratches and vibration.

Great Product....
I've purchased three of this model and every one has performed great and is of high quality. The fit is tight but that helps to disperse heat.
