Works with my XP system. Cons: The internal parts seem flimsy (compared the other one I have). If you want to switch ATA/IDE HDDs then I wouldn't buy this one; trying to remove the drive will probably break the enclosure, so I couldn't even consider returning it. Overpriced. from Newegg.com Installed 500g PATA drive to be used as external backup drive. Had it up and running in 10mins. Bought two units Red and Blue to distinguish the drives running on shelf Cons: None as of Yet! from Newegg.com I bought this external hard drive enclosure in Frys electronics. At first, my old computer did not see it and I was about to return it when I thought of reading the manual and google online if others have similar problems and sure enough. from Amazon.com It is working fine but not with every hard drive. I had a 300Gb Quantum that wouldn't power up at all although it worked with every other hard drive I had at hand. I had other enclosures that powered up the mentioned hard drive without any issues. from Amazon.com Pros: IDE works, and it's pretty. Cons: SATA doesn't, and pretty doesn't matter if it doesn't work. from Newegg.com Pros: instructions were clear, packing was excellent, assembly was easy. This unit provides support for both IDE and SATA drives internally. After running it for a few hours the case was warm but not hot, the aluminum seemed to dissipate sufficient heat to keep me from worrying. from Newegg.com Pros: Looks sturdy and feels sturdy as well. Supports both SATA and IDE/ATA hard drive Cons: I tried to put IDE drive in, it's not easy since the packaging is very tight and the power cord combines for both SATA (or eSATA) and IDE. Since the space is really tight, the extra length really hurts in order to place the hard drive in place. from Newegg.com I tried this with both an old PATA/IDE and a new SATA drive; both worked flawlessly. The IDE drive required a jumper setting to "Master"; no jumpers were required for the SATA (WD Caviar). from Amazon.com Love the way it works with both SATA and PATA drives. Shoved a SATA 750GB Seagate drive in, and it runs like a champ. It's not going to be as fast as eSATA, but at this price, it's a winner for things like backing up your data, or as a huge "thumb drive" you can carry around (or grab-and-go in case of earthquake, fire, or flood). from Amazon.com Pros: Nice blue color, SATA & PATA support, supported a 1TB drive just fine. Reasonable price. from Newegg.com
