Good Product

Rosewill RX35-AT-SC SLV Full Aluminum Cover, Metal Tray 3.5" Silver SATA I/II USB 2.0 & eSATA External Enclosure
Rosewill RX35-AT-SC SLV Full Aluminum Cover, Metal Tray 3.5" Silver SATA I/II USB 2.0 & eSATA External Enclosure

Pros: Product has a sturdy aluminum case, and keeps the drives fairly cool while operating. It is quiet, and pretty quick transferring information back and forth between the HDD and connected PC. It comes bundled with both USB and Sata connectors, which is nice. Also has an on/off switch, which is good. Not all enclosures have these, and is a nice touch for functionality. The enclosure is not only built very sturdy, but is also easily to assemble with a drive. It is not too loose, nor too tight to make you have to force a drive in it, so there's very, very little chance to break anything. The Sata connector for the HDD fits snug, but not so much that you have to force it into place...again, good for avoiding damaging either the enclosure parts or the drive. Very nice product.

Cons: The only con that I can think of for this product is the lack of cooling fan for the unit. While the aluminum casing does a good job at keeping the drives from getting too hot, I would have liked it much better if there was a cooling fan to keep the drive nice and icy. But, this is a very small con, as it the casing does a pretty good job at keeping the drive from getting too hot.

Overall Review: I would recommend this enclosure as either a long-term enclosure, or for quick-swapping drives. The design of the case easily accommodates swapping drives often without wearing too much. Overall, a very good product. Rosewill has always treated me well; I've bought many of their products over the past few years, and have had no issues with them so far. And, as always, Newegg's service is exemplary. I bought this to replace another brand that arrived DOA, and I'm glad I did. Arrived quick...I received this product before the RMA from the DOA product was completed. Thanks again for having a great service, Newegg.

Most Critical Review

Watch the Power cord...

SABRENT EC-ST5B Aluminum 5.25" Black SATA USB 2.0 CD/DVD Enclosure
SABRENT EC-ST5B Aluminum 5.25" Black SATA USB 2.0 CD/DVD Enclosure

Pros: The overall design of the case was good. It allows for an easy installation of a 5.25" drive. The cooling fan is positioned where it would cool the installed device well.

Cons: Mine was DOA. The power supply, which is a two-section supply (trans box, and a cord that connects it to an outlet) was dead from the first moment. There's an LED indicator on the box, and it never once lit up. There's a LED indicator on the device as well, but since the PS is bad, of course there's no activity there.

Overall Review: Some people would think this a pro, others a con...the SATA connectors are pretty tight, so if you switch drives out of this case, be careful. They are tight enough that you'll snap the connectors on the HDD, if you are not careful and take your time in removing them. I gave this one egg, just because of the product. Newegg's service has always been exemplary, and I'm sure I'll have an easy-peezy time of getting a refund.

Works as expected

Pros: This was a replacement HDD for a Toshiba Tecra R950, replacing the primary HDD of the same model and specs. So far, it's working just as the old one was! Price was also appropriate for a drive with these specs.

Cons: None so far.

Good RAM

G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel Kit Laptop Memory Model F2-5300CL5D-4GBSA

Pros: Works like everything else I've purchased made by this company! Maxed out my cq60 Compaq laptop with this RAM, doubling what came with the machine. So far, it has made a HUGE difference.

Cons: My Vista is only registering 3GB...which isn't a con on GSkill's head...but on my 32-bit system. It's OK, though, I'm about to upgrade to a 64-bit Win7 OS anyway.

A good product

Pros: Works as advertised. Had a little difficulty installing the drivers, but that is Vista's problem, not the hardware or accompanying drivers. Wonderfully small-sized, pretty good transfer rates.

Cons: Drivers with Vista suck...but really not their fault, but M$'s fault.

Good so far

Pros: Works as I expected it to. Data transfer is pretty fast. Another good Kingston product. Arrived a day sooner than I expected, but that usually happens with Newegg.

Cons: None that I can think of.

quick shipping, great service

Order was filled quickly and the shipping was faster than expected. Arrived at my home within two days with the Standard Shipping option! Quite impressive, considering I am almost at the opposite end of the country from the seller. Item was as described and in perfect working order. I usually don't go through the other sellers on Newegg, but this is one I would order from again!
