Patriot Memory Gauntlet 2 PCGTII25S Sleek thin design with aluminum trim 2.5" Black USB 3.0 External Enclosure

Pros: Simple installation of the hard drive. Clean looking, Recognized by Windows and or course Linux. Seemed like a cheap case when opened and a quick look over but actually very very nice case and when snapped together very durable. Very pleased with purchase.

Cons: None at this time.

Other Thoughts: Would definitely purchase another if needed. Also shipping was quick!

Pros: Small, works well, never had any issues

Cons: None, like the other reviewer said no carry case but other then that it's perfect.

Other Thoughts: To the n/a reviewer, mine works in my MacBook pro perfectly, perhaps you need to format you drive to support it, and don't forget to format to journaled. Hope that bit of information might have been some help. As for some other info, macs do not support USB 3.0, but they can read USB 3.0, it just wouldn't be as fast as if it were in a USB 3.0 port.

Pros: USB 3.0, small, easy to install, & look like a iphone 4/4s without the touchscreen.

Cons: none so far because only plastic & no carry case.

Other Thoughts: I brought one right after the 1st review on 5-4-12. one from newegg & the others at electronics store in silicon valley because it was on sale for ~$15.
I'd brought it because USB 3.0 & it was 3-5x faster then 2.0. It was easy to install, small, compact & single cable. I didnt experience much negatives on it only that is plastic & no carry case.

I have an answer for the "N/A" reviewer because the reason why it doesnt work is USB 3.0. apple doesnt support USB 3.0 so no drivers for it that why same with blu-ray & others but not fully apple fault.

Pros: USB 3.0
Though made of plastic, it has a nice look to it.

Cons: Does not work on My MacBook Pro Late 2011. The drive does not boot up, the blue led light keeps flashing. I stick it in a PC it works flawlessly.
