N/A 4/9/2013 7:23:21 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 3/5Drive disappears Pros: Inexpensive for supporting USB 3.0 and eSata. It was easy to install a drive. Cons: The drive would disappear about once to twice a week. I would have to reboot for it show up again. I did get a working replacement. See other thoughts. Other Thoughts: I spent a lot of time trying to figure out the issue before I finally RMA'd the product. Well, I'm not sure I can call it an RMA.... It was a weird support experience. I couldn't find contact information on their website, but Newegg has it listed on the product page. I emailed the company with a detailed explanation of the issue and a copy of my receipt. I received a single sentence reply, "What's your address?". I provided my address and asked what they intended to do. Reply:"I'm going to send you a new one". A few days later I sent another email asking the status. The reply, "I shipped it." Another email got me the tracking number. Funny stuff. Anyway, the no questions asked and the fact that they didn't want the old one back tells me it was a known issue. This page was marked discontinued for a while, so now that it's back I suspect that they're only selling the working ones now. I broke four eggs for the headache that this intermittent issue caused me and the weird support experience. I put two eggs back because they made it right very quickly and the enclosure works great now. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

roedder1 2/9/2013 6:47:35 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Worthy Pros: Solid construction, dual interfaces (USB 3 and eSATA). And best of all (from my viewpoint), it has the sturdy type B male connector. Not the Micro B Male that some of the other enclosures use. Cons: None yet. Other Thoughts: Wall wart.

Breakdown 10/17/2012 6:37:45 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 3/5OK Enclosure, does NOT support 6.0gbps SATA Pros: Sturdy Construction eSATA and USB 3.0, comes with both cables hard drives fit well and hardware to install drives is included Cons: Drives are recognized as USB to SATA Bridge Device instead of the drive name (unless it is initialized or formatted using a different device, I initialized and formatted one of my drives that I used in one of these enclosures using a USB Drive Mate, and that drive is recognized under the device manager as the correct name, even in the enclosure.) Newegg's description states that this enclosure is SATA III (6.0gbps) capable internally, which is incorrect. It says right on the box that it is SATA I,II capable only. I'm not sure exactly how these devices work, but I'm assuming that it limits SATA III drives to SATA II speeds because of the hardware. Included USB cable is short. Other Thoughts: Overall it seems like a decent, sturdy enclosure but I was sorely disappointed by Newegg's inaccurate SATA III capable description. 7 out of 7 people found this review helpful.
