Most Favorable Review

They called me..

Rosewill RX35-AT-IU SLV Aluminum 3.5" Silver IDE USB 2.0 External Enclosure
Rosewill RX35-AT-IU SLV Aluminum 3.5" Silver IDE USB 2.0 External Enclosure

Pros: They called me.. to right a wrong

Cons: none

Overall Review: I posted a fairly negative review about 2 month's ago (review is here on Newegg under the same name). Rosewill contacted me, and I told them what happened to my enclosure. They promptly sent me another without any questions. How can I complain about that? Its practically unheard of in this day and age of bottom line money grabbing exploitation. I have to give Rosewill their just due, they stood behind their product. I do own quite a few products by Rosewill, and I will (now) continue to be a consumer. FYI: I could not figure out how to edit my previous review.

Good while it lasted

Rosewill RX35-AT-IU SLV Aluminum 3.5" Silver IDE USB 2.0 External Enclosure
Rosewill RX35-AT-IU SLV Aluminum 3.5" Silver IDE USB 2.0 External Enclosure

Pros: Worked for a little over a year

Cons: Quit recognizing any hard drive. The light turns on, but thats about it. Sometimes the USB is recognized by the OS, sometimes it is not. In either event, even if the OS see's that I just plugged something in, it refuses to load up any HD I install.

Overall Review: While I have this for a little over a year, this is more like a car that owned by a little old lady who only uses it to drive to church. I have used this thing for MAYBE 10 hours, and that was to access files off an old drive. I did notice that the yellow plastic wrap over the internal molex looks like it has melted, I have no clue why.

Excellent addition

Pros: Tight, crisp, and clear.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I bought these to use as sides in my 6.1 setup. They compliment the fronts and rears very nicely, and hold their own with the rest of the system. The sides aren't supposed to draw your attention like the mains, and these do their part to perfection...suttle, yet polished. Great addition.

Not surprised

Pros: I've had this refurb for over 2 years, and it keeps chugging along.

Cons: none

Overall Review: Buying refurbs is hit or miss. If all refurbs were this good, I'd never buy new!

Feeling better now

Pros: Great product so far 3 PC's covered a very reasonable price Countdown for days left on main screen.. good to know!! File shredder

Cons: Wallet & Safepay

Overall Review: First off, Bitdefender has been getting great reviews from most of the virus/malware labs that run nothing but tests and evaluations to make our online time safe. I used to have MSE on ALL my computers, and when I started seeing them slide down the test scale, I knew it was time to upgrade to a better solution. Bitdefender has met the challenge so far, and I plan on staying with them as long as they continue to score on the upper tier. About the only negative I can put out there are 2 programs that I really have no idea, nor desire to use them: Wallet & Safepay. I did not knock any eggs for them, as some people may want/need them.

except for the wait, its great

USB 3.0 19 Pin / 20 pin Male to Front Panel towards to USB 2.0 to Motherboard Header Box 9 Pin / 10 pin Female Adapter Converter Joiner Housing Cable
USB 3.0 19 Pin / 20 pin Male to Front Panel towards to USB 2.0 to Motherboard Header Box 9 Pin / 10 pin Female Adapter Converter Joiner Housing Cable

Pros: Easy install Not expensive

Cons: Nothing about the adapter

Overall Review: This was no-brainer to install, and both USB ports tested fine. While the description does say 5-15 days..(it was 14 for me), I would hope that Newegg would carry a few in their warehouse (just put them in someones desk drawer...hehe) if only because they are so small, and someone might need them in a major hurry (I was that person).
