Pros: USB 3.0 Aluminum Quality cables included Fast and simple Price
Cons: Blue LED is BRIGHT. I had to cover it up with a piece of electrical tape.
Overall Review: For those that are saying this is a non standard cable, you clearly have no idea what you are talking about. The cable this enclosure uses is a Male A to Male A USB 3.0 Cable that can be found here at Newegg or other vendors for cheap. These style cables were used with USB 2.0 so don't think this is new. I in fact like the fact that it uses a full sized connector and not the mini one; they feel more secure and not nearly as fragile. Overall this enclosure is awesome, especially for the price. The all aluminium body keeps my 640GB Samsung drive cool. Transfer rates are excellent with both USB 2.0 and 3.0. The inclusion of a standard USB 2.0 to DC power cable was a nice touch; I dont really like the Y style cables that some enclosures come with. A great choice if you are looking for a simple USB 3.0 enclosure for your 2.5in HDD or SSD that doesn't use the silly mini USB 3.0 connector.
