    I own many hard drive cases they all look like box's this one is sleek and round with some reflective mirror on each end looks like something from Star Trek tng ®. The only reason it got 4 stars from me is it lack of footing on a smooth desk it slides but fix that with stick on rubber feet for under a dollar no it stays put

    I had an old laptop laying around with a decent size sata hard drive that was still good. I bought this so I could use the old laptop hard drive as a portable hard drive. it works great. easy install and came with what I needed. plug and play.

    I didn't know I can save the hard disk of my no longer working laptop this way. This is a very smart solution for those whose laptop went out of order and still want to retrieve the data

    I bought this enclosure to get the data from my older MacBook Pro. I didn't want to use a backup from time machin to get my data because I only needed some of it. Works great. Now I use it for a backup drive for my new MacBook Pro.

    It seemed fine for a while but then I noticed that my disks would occasionally glitch out and disconnect. I thought the drive was going bad so tried a different disk. It continued to do the same thing, especially during large file transfers. I then tried the disks directly connected and they worked fine. I ordered some cheap 2.5" UGREEN enclosures off amazon and those do not have this problem. Hopefully Best Buy will start carrying more reliable 2.5" enclosures soon.

    It may be a house brand, but it works just as well as an old PATA case I bought years ago. I also like that it's an aluminum case instead of plastic. It's more of a specialty item, but if you need one, this is a good buy.

    I purchased this to retrieve my photos I had stored on my laptop which will not turn on anymore. I was able to retrieve the pictures and keep them stored on the hard drive I removed from the dead laptop. Works perfectly.

    this device only interfaces with sata drives less than two years old. ones older than that and the plugs will not match up. I liked that it is powered by a usb 3 cable instead of requiring a separate power supply.

    This product was recommend to me by the sales rep. Not only does it include the wire required to transfer data from the hard drive. It also includes the encasement to turn your hard drive into an external one.

    bought this for an older mac hard drive, but haven't been able to make it function. My guess is my drive may only be visible by a mac, and not a PC.. i'll have to try on a mac when I am around one.Cant' really say if I would recommend this since it hasn't worked yet.
