I'm sure it would've been wonderful it they'd shipped it but they were out of stock.
I bought this USB hard drive enclosure as an easy and fast way to transfer lots of files from my old computer to my new one.The process is extremely simple: I pulled the drive out of my old machine; put the drive into the Rocketfish drive tray (two cables and 4 screws to hold the drive firmly in place); put the tray/drive assembly into the enclosure and screwed the lid down.That's it.The drive was immediately recognized as "Local Disk (G:)" on my Windows Vista System. (It also recognized "SYSTEM_SAV(H:)" which I assume is the boot volume on the drive).The enclosure is attractive and well-made, consisting of a red,finned, aluminum chassis with glossy black side panels. There is a small stand that permits the enclosure to sit on its side, and it is very stable in this configuration. The system does not seem to get more than slightly warm.I am glad I bought this thing-- it made transferring 10,000 photos as easy at it possibly could have been.
I bought it from "nansbooksnmore" as open box item.Great Design - anodized aluminum look real cool and it dissipates heat very well.
The computer pros were suggesting data recovery costing over a thousand dollars. 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. 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.
Works just as it should :) great, cheap way of backing up your huge pic/music/movie files.
