MASSCOOL UHB-2221 Aluminum 2.5" Black / Silver USB 2.0 External Enclosure w/OTB function

Pros: - Well Designed Case
- Metal
- Double USB
- on / off switch
- optional power port
- Does the Job

Cons: - Loose fitting
- Poor instructions
- Shipped with very little packaging

Other Thoughts: I bought this enclosure to put my old macbook harddrive in after replacing it with an SSD and for that task it does the job. I put my drive in, plugged in it, flicked the on switch and my computer picks it up.

Where this product loses points for me is how the drive itself fits in the enclosure. The [very poor] instructions mention a chassis that was not included with the enclosure that should be removed and have the drive placed within it. I believe if this chassis existed the drive would fit better but, as is, my HDD moves around within the enclosure and doesn't feel very secure. The included screws are in place but are much too small to actually screw into the hard drive and therefore only hold the top part of the enclosure in place.

If you just want an enclosure that will sit on your desk and does the job without breaking the bank this enclosure would likely work. It's on/off switch and optional power port are great inclusions for this to be used on a desk but, personally, I don't much like hearing my hard drive moving in it's enclosure while I walk around with it in my bag.

Pros: Very solid, well made and stylish. Biggest plus was that it would also work for a 12.5 mm thick drive which is rare. The drive is actually held into the enclosure with screws unlike many other enclosures that the drives just slide into.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Very nice enclosure, especially for $15

Pros: Good presentation, working properly, light, screws included.

Cons: The instructions could be clearer. The USB cable length is adequate, but the derivation for the two connectors is very close.

Pros: Pretty easy to assemble. I'm getting it because I have some older, smaller internal HD's that are just sitting there. Price is great for what your getting

Cons: Side screws are a joke. Got two in and called it good.

Other Thoughts: Easy way to repurpose old HD's

Pros: Excellent, well built little drive enclosure. Shocked it was so cheap! Works flawless.

Cons: None

Pros: Nice case, slightly rubberized. On/off switch, OTB button

Cons: external screws don't "bite" on the end of the case towards the back of the case. Also, not easy to figure out how to mount the drive in the case. Says to install on chassis then pop chassis into case. Can't seem to get the chassis out to install the drive....so drive is connected but loose.

Pros: No problems with device.

Cons: None.

Pros: Extremely durable case. I was a little afraid at first but just make sure you get a nice seal and your HDD should fit nice and snug. It also comes with a screw kit and a mini screwdriver.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: If you hear a rattle when you're moving the case make sure you secured the HDD onto the case. I would definitely purchase this again.

Pros: Very easy to install drive

Cons: OTB Function didn't work after installing software, Just installed second backup no problem.

Other Thoughts: Really needs an external ps

Pros: Straight forward and simple set up. Extremely cheap. My oversized laptop drive fit nicely and without a problem in this.

Cons: Small hinges on side plastic lids, Given the price, this isn't really much to complain about since I did worse with the one this was replacing. I did take an egg off for this because the hinges aren't very sturdy. Double USB dongle for extra power.

Other Thoughts: My old laptop drive was too thick for a previously purchased enclosure, so I got this one. Haven't needed to use the extra USB connector for power.
