I bought it from "nansbooksnmore" as open box item.Great Design - anodized aluminum look real cool and it dissipates heat very well.
Excellent price, excellent job. April 27, 2008

When my Maxtor drive broke it was once again due to the connections and not the drive itself. I took the drive out plugged it into a this enclosure and got all the information safe and sound. The computer pros were suggesting data recovery costing over a thousand dollars!!! Of all my external hard drive problems the problems as always been a bad firewire connection or something like that. The drives have always been okay so give this a try before taking any super expensive measures.

I've used a lot of different brands of external drive enclosures and this one is by far the best. It seems that so many drive enclosures for 3.5" drives are designed to be difficult to open an close. With the Rocketfish design, you have large Allen key (hex) bolts in the corners. These are stronger and much easier to use than the hardware of other enclosures. The bottoms of the bolts have little rubber feet that help the drive run as silently as possible. The drives also stack really well if you have more than one.
The drive kit comes with an honest-to-goodness user's manual and the 4 foot USB cable is plently long. The red part of the drive (with all the fins) is anodized aluminum. So not only does it look real cool, it dissipates heat very well.
The picture of the enclosure here is kind of odd. You wouldn't put it in the stand oriented in that direction with the connectors on top. You'd either put it on its side or as I prefer, flat on the desk
For anyone with Windows XP or Vista, the drives are plug & play. A cool blue light shows when the drive is in use. I have several of these Rocketfish drive enclosures (including the smaller 2.5" size), and they have worked flawlessly for me.
If you're upgrading the drive in your desktop computer, don't waste the old drive, just throw it in one of these enclosures and use it as a backup.
REMEMBER this drive enclosure is for older EIDE/ATA drives (lots of pins) rather than the newer SATA drives (small connector). Most if not all desktop computers sold now are using SATA drives inside. I'm not sure if Rocketfish makes this same style enclosure for SATA drives.
 It encloses but thats all February 3, 2008

I guess the main purpose of a external hard drive enclosure is to put a internal hard drive in. but they should also work good and you shouldn't have to worry about bumping something and the hard drive turning off. You see i put my hard drive in and as far as connections go it works good. but while reformating i bumped the cord slighly and the hard drive lost power. this is because the connection is really cheaply made. also if you push the power plug or usb plug in you have to be extremely careful of breaking the circuit board it is connected to. and the slightest nudge of the cord breaks the connection. the enclsure is cheapy made trust me i have used many external hardrives and enclosures and this one is probably the worst made.
