Nippon Labs EN-25SATA-BKS Aluminum 2.5" Black SATA USB 2.0 HDD Enclosure

Pros: mine arrived just fine was in perfect condition

Cons: none for me

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Cheap - SATA interface is super glued into place. On several of them I had to remove the interface and reinstall it to line everything up properly. Plastic locking latch is the only thing securing side panels.

Overall Review: You get what you pay for here, don't expect much but if your reading this you're probably not :) If you're looking for something cheap & like to gamble -- have at it! If you're looking for a reliable, sturdy solution... do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. Luckily Marie from Newegg got it taken care of - Thanks again Newegg!

Pros: The SATA drive just slips right in - a perfect fit. Close the lid and you're done.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Great value for the money.

Pros: Still working today with no issues. Powers directly from usb port.

Cons: It's a little cheaply put together on the inside with hot glue I believe but it hasn't affected how it's running at all.

Overall Review: Would buy again.

Pros: Simple design, easy to hook up. Didn't have any issues with the screws not aligning up.

Cons: Not much to say here, it is a simple HD enclosure, nothing fancy.

Pros: Cheap. Works according to specs. Guess I can't ask for much more...

Cons: Cheap. Board was not secured inside case when it arrived (guess the hot glue didn't hold it in place). Hard disk inside gets secured to plastic, and does not touch the aluminum plates which cover the enclosure. Therefore, it is not really an aluminum enclosure, as it does not transfer heat the same way aluminum would. As a result I would not suggest using this for a 7200 RPM laptop drive. My 5400 drive gets warm, but not hot...

Pros: Price. Gets the job done.

Cons: Lacks decent quality and materials.

Overall Review: Board wasn't even glued properly in the enclosure. the plastic snaps seem the hold in place fairly well though once assembled. Works decently for a transplanted 160GB Hitachi hard drive

Pros: None

Cons: Arrived broken.

Overall Review: You get what you pay for. Hmph!
