5 out of 5 eggs

Pros: as long as you format the drive before placing in the drive it does what it's suppose to do no problems working with win 7 except you must reformat the drive otherwise win 7 will see the drive but will not grant access.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: bought this for a customer laptop was not worth fixing as the money he would of put into the laptop he could easily go out and buy a better laptop for the money he was going to spend on parts. So I backed up his data pulled the drive reformatted and placed the data back on the drive and now he has a 100gb external and all his data

5 out of 5 eggsRosewill products are good

Pros: It was easy to install the laptop drive. It fits snugly in the case, and if you gently shake the case, you don't hear or feel the drive shaking inside it. Case is good-quality, looks solid. Hard to believe it was less than $10. Plugged in the main USB connector - perfect. There's a second, auxiliary, USB connector that can be used if more power is required -- I didn't have to use it.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: This is the 3rd Rosewill product I have bought. First was a unit to allow me to connect external hard drives (SATA or IDE) via USB. Second was a USB wireless adapter. Both of them - like this laptop drive enclosure - were well-made, and worked (and continue to work) flawlessly.

5 out of 5 eggsGREAT BRAND...

Pros: Everything. Very nice for the price.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: This is an enclosure for a PATA drive (AKA "laptop/skinny drive"), NOT for a SATA drive (AKA "desktop/fat drive"). Sometimes layman terms can be useful.

Comes with: enclosure, a tiny-tipped Phillips screwdriver (which I use for other things), extra screws, double-ended plug (uses 2 USB outlets), and a rubber-ish feeling travel bag.

Low-down: used with an old 40GB PATA drive taken from an otherwise useless/broken Archos brand "Jukebox". Inserted the drive, closed the case, and plugged it in the PC. Ready in 5 minutes.

5 out of 5 eggsWoops...

Pros: I'm sure it is a great case.

Cons: It doesn't fit my SATA hard drive.

Other Thoughts: I probably ought to have read the whole product description before I purchased an IDE enclosure to hold my SATA drive. Derp.

5 out of 5 eggsRosewill enclosure review

Pros: Great enclosure, using it for an older IDE drive that I'm using for XBox 360 USB storage. LOVING the dual-headed USB cable in case the extra power boost is needed. Plug and play, no additional drivers needed for Windows 7

Cons: Doesn't make chocolate pudding :(

Other Thoughts: Looks great, very sleek and non-intrusive

5 out of 5 eggsRosewill RX234 Aluminum 2.5" USB 2.0 External Enclosure

Pros: Compact, very sturdy, lightweight. I was able to 'build it myself' in virtually no time at all. The 40 gig HDD I put in it is more than adequate to carry music and documents back and forth to work. And compact enough to stick in my pocket if need be.

Cons: The unique USB cord takes up nearly as much space as the drive, and is possibly more fragile. It would be very cool if they would provide a spare so I didn't have to carry one at all. I can't seem to find a spare for sale...

Other Thoughts: If you like to carry a chunk of music with you, especially in lossless format, and need to carry documents back and forth, this is hard to beat.

3 out of 5 eggsCan't use it

Pros: I couldn't tell you.

Cons: I thought this was a SATA enclosure because when I looked at the title I figured it was SATA. It would be nice if Newegg would label it as an IDE USB 2 External Enclosure.

Other Thoughts: They have another IDE external enclosure that is basically the same except they labeled the title correctly. Guess I'll take my time when ordering something next time.
