What a bargain!
Reviewed by Matt Charman. Review Posted 04/06/2010
It's quick - easily as quick as the more expensive USB2 enclosures I already own. Setup was a breeze (no drivers required on XP as you'd expect). It looks quite different from the picture - mine was actually flat silver aluminium sides and looked more stylish. The drive rails themselves feel cheaply made, but once in the enclosure it feels very solid, and once it's installed you don't open it again anyway. Certainly can't complain at this price. It's a great little bargain if (like me) you have some IDE or SATA drives kicking around that would be put to good use for backups. I highly recommend the free TrueCrypt software to sit alongside the drive, so you can encrypt your backups too. You can install truecrypt on the drive so even the encryption is plug-and-play,

Flakey
Reviewed by Chris. Review Posted 02/11/2011
Don't waste your money - buying this was false economy and I'm regretting it massively. When it works, it works well but unfortunately it works about one time in every five that I try and use it. On the other four occasions it either doesn't show up at all, cuts me off in the middle of trying to access the disk, or Windows tells me the drive needs formatting.
Poor product. Spend a few more pounds and get something reliable.
