Most Favorable Review

Good and compact

AZiO ENC211SU31 Aluminum 2.5" Black SATA USB 2.0 & eSATA External Enclosure
AZiO ENC211SU31 Aluminum 2.5" Black SATA USB 2.0 & eSATA External Enclosure

Pros: Well built compared to 4 other Enclosures that I own. At no stage I felt frustrated because of cheap part which was not the case with my previous Enclosures. Inside outer metal case there is plastic tray/chasis, to which PCB is firmly attached. And plastic tray has screws to hold the hard drive.

Cons: None

Overall Review: First eSATA port did not work and sent an email to customer support, they responded the next day, that was good. Before their response, I got to know why it was not working; I had to install driver for JMicron cotroller. I brought 2 Enclosures; one for 320gb Hitachi Travelstar and other for 320gb Seagate, both worked fine on WinXP 64bit.

Most Critical Review

Soldering is broke

MASSCOOL UHB-2233 Aluminum 2.5" Black SATA I/II USB 3.0 External Enclosure
MASSCOOL UHB-2233 Aluminum 2.5" Black SATA I/II USB 3.0 External Enclosure

Pros: Even the cheap price does not gain any point for this device. I have purchased better ones for 15$. I would give zero eggs.

Cons: 1) 'SATA data and power port' part does not rest on PCB and could break easily 2) Far end of the case has clipped-wall, without any screws(yes, they wanted to save on this). This clip takes up space, as a result h/d does not go in smoothley. I was forcing the h/d and the soldering that was holding 'SATA data and power port' part broke.

Overall Review: This generation missed industrial revolution. they do not know how to make a box

Drops connection after 6 months

SABRENT EC-7F83 Aluminum 3.5" Black SATA II USB 3.0 SATA External Enclosure w/ Cooling Fan
SABRENT EC-7F83 Aluminum 3.5" Black SATA II USB 3.0 SATA External Enclosure w/ Cooling Fan

Pros: None.

Cons: I used once. Then it stayed unused for 6months. Then one day I started using and connection kept on dropping. I did disk-scan but that did not help. Then I used Rosewill Enclosure and same disk worked fine. I have 7-8 enclosures from Rosewill. This is my first Sabrent case and not going to recommend to anyone. I am using Elite Book 8570W laptop with Win7.

Overall Review: Connection dropping may corrupt data. So I am not going to risk using this again. Going to dust bin.

Weakest structurally

Mediasonic ProBox H21-SU3 USB 3.0 2.5" SATA HDD / SSD Hard Drive Enclosure - Support SATA III 6.0Gbps HDD & UASP
Mediasonic ProBox H21-SU3 USB 3.0 2.5" SATA HDD / SSD Hard Drive Enclosure - Support SATA III 6.0Gbps HDD & UASP

Pros: Works

Cons: Seems like brittle plastic, may not survive even one fall. I have made few bad purchases like this, and this one enclosure is worst. Cable is so short you have to glue the enclosure to PC. Barely twice the length of enclosure

Overall Review: Save money and buy a metal enclosure and a long cable too. Note you can not swap this cable with any other USB cable because connector is not that popular.

fine
