Pros: Love the adapter and the ease of adding another monitor to my system. With 8.1 it quickly pulled up the install for this and was seamless.

Cons: My unit just failed today. It appears to have over heated as the case is slightly warped. Contacted vendor for a replacement.

Pros: Recently purchased this and installed my 146GB Hitatchi HD. It was very easy to install, and unlike other reviews there was nothing odd w/ the screw length. I am currently running it off my laptop as external storage atm.

Cons: AC adapter cable length, but this is not really a biggie as I have an extra long USB cable and this HDD does not necessarily have to be beside my laptop or have my eyes on it at all time...
