Castle_Romeo 11/11/2010 1:29:13 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5Nice but there's a catch Pros: Looks nice and rugged. Enclosure is made of extruded aluminum. Cons: Please note: This enclosure DOES NOT have an eSATA port. The port is the standard SATAII used on hard drives and such. You will need to purchase or use a SATA cable for this but it does come with an adapter for computers that have an eSATA port. Other Thoughts: Kinda wish the listing was more specific about this technicality. There is a difference between SATAII & eSATA connectors. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you?

McLogic 2/5/2008 3:40:35 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Excellent, Durrable, Easy-to-Use Pros: Well built, protects the drive from pressure and shock. I regular check these drives on flights w/o further padding. They have always survived. Cons: Expensive, but really worth it. The nice MacAlly drives all use little rubber bumpers INSIDE the case. These help with shock and noise. Other Thoughts: The rubber bumbers as spare parts from MacAlly are just 5 dollars. If you leave these twisted into your drives, you can switch drives in a few seconds. The drive will just lift in/out with no tools. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you?

Westside guy 8/10/2007 12:00:36 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Good looking, easy to use enclosure Pros: SATA inside and out, with USB 2 available as a fallback. Comes with SATA and USB cables. Very sleek enclosure at a decent price. Cons: Provided SATA to SATA cable with eSATA adapter - would prefer a SATA to eSATA cable. Other Thoughts: I bought this and a Seagate Barracuda SATA drive at the same time. Installation is a snap - LOVE the SATA cable (as opposed to IDE). I've bought MacAlly enclosures before, and they are consistently good quality. 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

The Phanatik 10/28/2006 11:50:50 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Outstanding Quality Pros: Great Quality, Sturdy Construction, SATA 3.0Gb/s hard drive support. Cons: no Firewire support Other Thoughts: This is a great enclosure. I highly recomend it! I Don't know why the person rated it a 3/5 just because it didn't have eSata. It doesn't say anywhere that it does. I find the SATA useful, as my desktop does have it. 4 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
