The dual funtionability is very convenient. Seems well put together and was very easy to install.
According to the manual it only supports up to 160GB HDs at 1.5GB/s, not the 250GB and 3GB/s that newegg claims.
I'm primarily using mine as an external drive for my laptop, with a seagate 160GB SATA 1.5GB/s drive in it. It works great, transfers are as fast as you would expect with usb. Just happened to notice that the manual and newegg claim different things. Can't check this myself cause this is the biggest HD I have right now, but if ur planning on putting a 250GB HD in, or need/want 3GB/s, you might want to look somewhere else. For my purpose this drive works great, I'm very satisfied.
Good idea, looks great (but performs lousy, and built so CHEAPLY -- oops, those comments aren't "pro").
I bought two of these. One never worked at all, and the other worked for a day or so and then quit. Phooey! Also, materials and construction of these enclosures are not at all nice.
Bought two of them, hooked them up, ended up throwing them in garbage can. Definitely stay away.
