The EZ-UP-Universal kit from Apricorn lets you upgrade your notebook's SATA or PATA hard drive then use the old drive as an external storage device in three easy steps. Or if you already have an extra 2.5" drive just install it in the case and go. Either way you now have convenient external storage device.
The EZ Gig II software can create a clone of your drive for disaster recovery or upgrade purposes. Or you use it to make periodic backups of your system. Whichever you choose you can password protect the files and make comments for easy identification.

Flawless hard drive exchange
- Comments: The EZ upgrade worked flawlessly! I used it to upgrade from a 9 gB to 60 gB drive in a Sony VAIO laptop. My only challenge was getting Win 2000 to find the unformatted drive on the USB. Using Disk Management (under the Control Panel) was the key - lucky I had a smart friend. Now I can use the enclosure with the old drive and have an external USB drive - this is very good.
heavy duty enclosure
- Pros: heavy duty, sturdy, nice texture feeling to it, darker than in the pictures, nice color, looks much nicer than in the pics, they dont do it justice. i only bought this for the enclosure part because i thought it looked nice. i'm very happy with it, took a whopping 10 seconds to get my HDD in there. also great that it works with both IDE and SATA drives. popped it in, plugged it in, formatted the HDD and good to go.
- Cons: it's heavy for an external enclosure, and a little big/thick. won't work without some extra power, the single USB it comes with isn't enough. you'll want to use one of those USB y-cables that split off for extra power. that or get a regular 5V DC power supply. i had one from another enclosure.
- Other Thoughts: little pricey, but thats because it comes with software for the cloning too. so you're paying for two items in a way.

Works as Advertised
- Pros: Straightforward, easy setup
Software is easy to use
- Cons: Be sure to check your power settings for display & system sleep times
- Other Thoughts: I need to look for something like this for desktop/server HDDs.
Great Hard Drive Exchange
- Pros: Very easy to use. Worked great. Simple installation. Transfered a 500GB hard drive that was 98% full to new 1TB hard drive in just a few hours.
- Cons: Not much documentation if you have a problem.
- Other Thoughts: Newegg was great as usual. Prompt order processing and shipping.
Cannot Contact Technical Support
- Pros: 1. Pretty Enclosure
2. Easy to attach hard drive and plug into computer
3. Software loads easily
4. Option to leave message with technical support via phone or e-mail
5. Can use enclosure as an external usb hard drive with a purchased separately hard drive.
- Cons: 1. Cloning process took several days the first time (left on vacation after waiting for 2 days, came back 5 days later to blank screen--think it was complete). Second, third and fourth cloning attempt took shorter and shorter times to complete. Too bad the cloned drive never worked like the original.
2. Cloned hard drive had several problems, unable to boot from it due to no operating system, then disk read error with several files unreadable.
3. Called Customer support, waited on hold with no indication where I was in the Queue. Left message 3 days ago. Called several times but unable to get through. Left another message today.
4. Cloning software does not seem to work, perhaps a defective CD sent with product, but since unable to contact technical support will try to return product.
- Other Thoughts: A technical support Chat option would be helpful.
