Pros: Very sturdy construction, looks high-quality when you open it up.
Supports AFT (Advanced Format Technology) 4k sector drives. This is also a con...

Cons: Supports AFT, if your computer chipset does not, you will be in trouble trying to boot from the drive after taking it out of this case. This is why I give it three stars, because there is no option to disable AFT.

Other Thoughts: If you know your PC and drives support AFT, this is the one to buy.

Pros: Nice quality hardware. Button snap pops out hard drive.

Cons: Software is terrible. Wasn't able to clone my drive because old drive was 512kb sectors and new drive was advanced format 4k. there should have been better options.

Other Thoughts: I ended up creating an image of the old drive on an external. Then I put the new drive in the laptop, and put my old drive in this acronis holder. Booted from a repair disk and the acronis drive was not recognized, i had to manually find it which is fine. after that the image burn on to the new drive worked like a charm.

i just had to resize my partitions to the new drive. all good now.

Pros: No hassle installation of HDD from brand new laptop (laptop runs from SSD) . Using throgh USB3 port as a backup drive. Slick and nice gear.

Cons: None so far, hopefully ever.

Other Thoughts: Has an additional 5V DC socket, adapter has to be bought separately. Might be useful for energy hungry drives.

Pros: support both sata and pata connections, case is one of the most sturdy, well built enclosure i ever owned, nice gray finish, very easy to add and remove hardrives, software works excellent i went to their website and download their latest EZ Gig Cloning software (download the ISO format) and burn on cd, boot from the cd took about 35 minutes times 2 if you enable, VERIFY DISK option which i did, anyway i dont now why so many people had problems work perfect for me product is very straight forward

Cons: NONE

Other Thoughts: Buy it

Pros: Easy install of disk.
Just install software, and follow prompts.
Switched drives and booted up.
Not a single issue.

Cons: I have no cons.

Other Thoughts: Inexpensive way to upgrade a notebook. Much faster boot times and a longer battery life.

Pros: Nice for external hard drive case

Cons: Almost useless for new Advanced Format hdd

Other Thoughts: To clone an old 512 setor drive to a new advanced format drive is a nightmare if u dont know what u are doing. It is not "as easy as 1-2-3". Put the new drive in the laptop, old drive in the usb case, turn off fast in options, check do not change partition size, 4k alignment on. If u set up the old drive with vista or 7 u should b aligned when finished. Any other way and it will give u a sector size error or the new drive will not b aligned.

Pros: This little unit makes drive upgrades and cloning very simple and easy. You might want to use another software such as EASEUS or clonezilla as the supplied software is finicky but OK with NTFS.

Cons: A little pricy but sometimes Newegg has rebates or sales.

Other Thoughts: Nice little pocket drive holder. Sturdy and well made.

Pros: Solid construction.
Nice rubber feet.
Quick release opening.
SATA and IDE internal connections.
It worked for a couple of days once.

Cons: Drops out randomly on my Macbook Pro. This can vary from seconds (usually) to a couple of days once. It isn't due to USB power supply, a 0.3 watt SSD and a Seagate HD acted the same, and both work in an enclosure by a competing brand.
Corrupts data, even when reading.

Other Thoughts: I got this as a free promo with a new Intel SSD drive. I thought the drive was bad. It turned out to be the case. It's disappointing that something as solidly crafted as this case is so utterly useless.

Pros: I have owned this for a few years, and upgraded my Averatec from a 75gb to a 500gb. It was my first HDD upgrade and it was the easiest thing I've done to a laptop. I am looking to buy another to put away for my next laptop, I never have enough space on the factory drive.

Cons: The directions are not very detailed, I remember hoping I was doing it all correctly as not to lose all my info!

Other Thoughts: There are step by step videos on how to use this correctly that were put out some 2+ years ago. I bet if you google it, those videos are still around. VERY USEFULL!!!

Pros: Aluminum case is well designed and installing a drive is very easy. The aqua color looks great.

Cons: Randomly disconnects from my Macs. I've had 20+ disconnects after 10-30 minutes of having the drive connected and trying to do a backup or image.

Also doesn't work as USB drive for my Netgear wndr3700.

Other Thoughts: I stupidly bought 2 of these, one for a friend. We are both very disappointed.
