poor, untrustworthy quality
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 10/11/2009
(Brand name on box and enclosure: "Dynamode")
Dreadfully poor quality. This is no bargain.
No mechanical attachment for your disk: held only by the SATA connector! Manual says "120G or less recommended" -- err, so does it go wrong for larger disk sizes or what? Not reassuring. External connector on enclosure is a USB TypeA socket, when all modern USB-powered 2.5" drives use mini-USB Type B. (But box does include an A-to-2A Y-cable for you). Is this ancient stock being flogged off?
The overall attitude to quality control is exemplified by this quote from the 'Manual':
"Click "Finsh" now ausb Hard Disk Drive Should apper in my computer Windows Explore Ifnotrestart Computer"
Bottom line: this is so bad I won't risk using it even once. I cannot trust the integrity of my photos, music, etc, to something this poorly designed and produced. I should have chosen the StarTech.com enclosure (quicklink: 67CNWS) instead :-(

Doesn't fit all 2.5" drives
Reviewed by Duncan. Review Posted 10/11/2009
I bought this for a 1/6H 2.5" drive that didn't fit in my laptop. It doesn't fit in this caddy either. You need a 1/8H drive, which is not mentioned anywhere in the specs. Totally unusable for purpose in my case.
