Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - just my luck
I'm had bad luck with this one i was only able to use it 2 times. ! to format my 1.5 tb hdd and then to read another 500gb in my own pc but after that i keep getting "USB Device Not Recognized". I get the feeling it has to do with something about power cuz the usb cable has an "electric feeling" when u rub the tip. I tried contacting Antec about it but no luck yet...



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - happy with it so far
I bought this and put a Seagate 1TB SATA HD in there. Works like a charm.

Good product. The only minor problem so far that you have to turn on and off and then on again to let vista to detect usb device. Anyway it doesn't occur on a regular basis.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Excellent Buy
Compared to other enclosures this is an excellent item. I chose to give it four stars because like all the others the case is not ventilated, no fan option, no auto shut-off.

There is a shut off switch on the item if you remember to use it. Otherwise ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Beware of poor quality control
Ugh. I got a lemon. The screw hole to attach the case was machined improperly and it cut clear through the side of the mount. So, I can only secure this with one screw. The label on the back peeled off and the AC adapter cord is too short to be of much use.

It's not even worth my time to send this back because I need to use it for a project right away.
