 Works, but could be much better July 19, 2008
Bob Metzler (Portland, OR)
One of the threaded inserts (in one of the two enclosures I bought) wasn't threaded, so I could only put one screw in to hold the front plate to the enclosure. The instructions didn't say that the screw holes to mount the drive were covered by a slide-in extruded plastic strip, so it took me awhile to find how to fasten it in. During the several hours of formatting, the case got really hot--almost too hot to touch; but, this shouldn't be a problem in my application since it won't be powered except when I'm adding files. All in all, a pretty poor design & implementation--but, it was cheap & it does work.
 Does what it should July 17, 2008

This hard drive case is super easy to deal with. It comes with all of the necessary hardware - even a little screwdriver to install the hard drive. It was plug-and-play with my computer on Windows XP, didn't need to deal with the CD of drivers they give you.
It worked so well I ordered a second one the day I opened it.
Sabrent USB PATA Hard Drive enclosure works well July 12, 2008
C. W. Trussell (Woodbridge, VA)
This hard drive enclosure was easy to use and operate even though the instructions were brief. I installed an existing 200 MB PATA hard drive and plugged in the connectors, and inserted the screws to complete assembly. When I plugged the USB into my computer, it was recognized and seemed to give very fast data transfers.
 Just what I expected July 11, 2008

For a cheapo drive enclosure, this seemed to work fine. The hardware is clunky and you have to work hard to get the drive situated and the back cover on, but worth the discount. Note, there are two size screws in the bag: one smaller size for holding the hard drive in place via side screws (hidden behind the plastic side panels), and another larger size to secure the backplate. Also I had to futz around with the jumper settings to get it working. I have a couple of Wester Digital IDE drives. When I set the jumper to master I got 'This device cannot start. (Code 10)' when I plugged it in. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the XP drivers (not from the disk, from Windows) a few times with the same result. Switching the jumper to slave cause the XP computer to not recognize it, but then when I switched the jumper to 'CS', XP recognized it as a Western Digital drive (before it said it was a generic USB mass storage device) and it has been working great since.
Cheap, but it works. July 11, 2008

The item was what I expected and after reading the reviews from other buyers, I had no problems. The instructions that come with the unit are alright, but the HD must be set as Single and not Master as instructed. Everything screwed together fine and XP recognized it with no problems. I leave it plugged in and when I turn it on, XP recognizes that something has been plugged into the USB port. I click on the safely remove hardware icon and when it says that it's OK; I turn it off.
