OverviewCustomer ReviewSpecificationsProduct Tour
Turn a standard 2.5-inch Parallel ATA hard drive into a portable USB 2.0 storage device in minutes with the Bytecc HD-201U2 aluminum external enclosure. The silver aluminum casing is a great heatsink, to keep the drive cool during operation and help dissipate heat quickly when you're done.

Once you've installed a hard drive inside this slim enclosure (it measures 80x15x143 mm), you simply connect the bundled Mini USB-to-USB 2.0 cable between the drive and your computer. There's no external power necessary either, since the drive gets its power from your computer. A full manual and user guide is included on CD as is a leather wallet to store the drive in while it's not in use.

Look no further for true portability

white Reviewed By: TMadness on 6/6/2006
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: No extra power needed, just plug in to usb port and go (2.0 ports only); well padded carrying case stores both drive and cable; stays cool via all metal case; enclosure internal padding holds drive firmly in place (unlike other brands)
Cons: None at all.
Other Thoughts: I've had this for almost a year now, and it's flawless w/ my 60gb, 7200rpm Hitachi Travelstar. If you're looking at this enclosure, than you're interested in portability. The 2 most vital things to look for in portable usb enclosures are 1) no extra power needed, 2) carrying case. Don't get me wrong, this thing is fast, fast, fast, too. If someone complains of speed, tell them what rpm stands for. Construction is solid and keeps it cool. Do NOT let the price fool you. I bought this on the cheap and bought an IOGear for almost 3x's the price - and the IOGear was already returned for replacement because it just stopped working - and it needed a wall wart power brick. Trust me, w/ this enclosure, you just whip it out and plug it in - no extra power - and your singing. The best deal on Newegg!

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Inexpensive, easy to install, very small. No separate power cable. Works like a charm.
Cons: The case is different than pictured... twice as big. Not a big minus, but you can't just slip it in your pocket as the picture indicates.
Other Thoughts: I got a new hard drive for my laptop, and bought this to help in transferring all my data from the old drive. Very fast, very easy to use.
I don't know what the second usb plug is for, as it works fine with just one. But, whatever! :)
