A perfect caddy
Reviewed by Ashley Jai Coleman. Review Posted 21/01/2012

Amazing value and the product works flawlessly. Sturdy construction and lightweight and the caddy is secured tightly with screws, although it felt like the holes were not threaded and was quite hard to screw it together.

Product has a dual USB wire which allows hubs to provide enough power to the device. Which is very handy.

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.
