This review is from: Zalman HE250 U3 Aluminum 2.5" White SATA I/II USB 3.0 HDD External Enclosure
Pros:
This unit was nonfunctional in USB 3.0 mode on arrival. I have several other USB 3.0 enclosures, so it was not hard to confirm that it was defective. It did perform normally as a USB 2.0 unit, and the USB 3.0 cable which was included was functional, so I decided to keep it rather than pay the RMA shipping.
Cons:
Poorly designed, difficult to insert a drive unless the light cable is placed exactly correct from the front to the back of the unit, and (of course) it was defective on arrival, working only as a USB 2.0 unit.
Overall Review:
The Kingwin USB 3.0 enclosure is much better designed and about 40% less expensive. I would therefore recommend against purchasing this Zalman unit.
