Pros: Very easy to setup, no software needed in XP, and as far as drive assembly I am very pleased. The drive plugs into the USB converter and slides into the case, two screws hold the USB converter and drive in place.
Cons: Case that comes with the drive is a little bit cheesy but it works fine. Also I wish that the screws that came with the unit where a little bit bigger as well as the holes not stripping out :(. Not major problems though just minor ones that could be fixed in the next version.
Overall Review: I spent a long time looking at different models and brands and got a lot of mixed reviews on almost all of the brands and models I looked at. I have bought a couple Vantec things in past and have always been happy with them so I gave their enclosure shot. Overall I am very pleased with this unit I have been using it for a couple months now with no problems. I would definitely get this again and wish I would have bought this unit in the beginning instead of spending weeks looking at various models. Highly Recommended.
