Customer Reviews
Worth more than the purchase price.
I had a 2001 Dell laptop that died back in July 2007. I was really upset because thought I lost five years worth of manuscripts, cover art, and over 300 mp3s when the motherboard wouldn't turn on.
Thankfully, the 10 GB hard drive still worked. While I kept the Hard drive and junked the laptop I searched for over a year (on public computers) for a way to get back my old information and found this enclosure on Amazon.com. I did a bit more research on compatiblity (ATA/IDE) interface and thanks to Sabrent's 2.5" USB Hard drive enclosure I was able to retrieve all my manuscripts, cover art mp3s and even all my Amazon movie reviews.
Sabrent's USB drive works great with Windows XP. After you put your old Hard drive in the enclosure, you just plug it in and it automatically recognizes it just like any USB disk. If you have an old hard drive from an old computer or a junked computer, this is a great way to get the old data off your computer.
This little case is worth far more than the purchase price. I recommend it to anyone who needs to salvage an older hard drive or who wants to turn an old hard drive into a USB device.

DO NOT BUY
It says that it is compatible with XP but it does not work. I plugged it in and the lights showed the drive was spinning but it never showed up on my computer as a usable drive
|
Standard USB Hook ups
This product is great but it has standard USB hookups. That is a prblem for someone who uses a laptop and has a lot of mini USB devices to switch around.
|
Great enclosures
great, it seems brand enclosure as good as it seems as a profesional one, I use it as external HD from aHD took out from my Lapop and works great!

Good product for the price
Attractive little case, and since it was for the small 2.5 inch footprint, it was just the PATA-USB interface logic and small enough to carry in a pocket.
Note for users (maybe a tip, really): most of the time the drive spun up okay on the USB's limited power, but one time it wouldn't spin up and mount, so I held the drive horizontally and gave a minor twist in two directions. This moved the tiny stator just enough to allow the motor to spin up and properly mount to my laptop.
