Most Favorable Review

As advertised - solid operation

Pros: I have a couple of these. They have worked hard, and solidly, for me. Yeah, one could complain about the case if they want, but I find the metal construction 'friendly' and rugged - so I have no complaints there. Good all around value in my book.

Cons: none

Overall Review: Cannot really call this a con since no one provides these (that I have seen yet)... I own a number of different kinds of enclosures (collecting over the years) and swap drives often, whether at the bench or working onsite... I wish the manufacturers would add restraint tabs/loops/whatever... for removing the connectors from the drives easily to alleviate concern over constant handling of the ribbon. Not as much an issue on the sata conn, but always need to be mindful with ide connectors.

Versatile Workhorse

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Starting to look for something in the sata/600 ranges now ;^)
