## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great external enclosure but hard to open
*by H***Y on May 6, 2014*

You need to have a pin, toothpick, or paperclip to insert into the keyhole to pop the latch. But once you get it open, it is really easy to add a drive or remove a drive. I use this to recover laptop data when machines fail or a drive needs to be replaced. So USB2 is just fine. But if you are looking for something fast, look for something with USB3.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Probably the best, or among the best
*by R***L on October 2, 2010*

As advertised, works right out of the box, all functionality available and working.My only reason for buying this: Many 2.5" enclosures supporting both USB and eSATA and without an external power supply, have the same problem: When you want to use the eSATA connection, the drive has no power, so you use the USB "Y" connector provided, and what happens? The computer recognizes it as a USB drive, eSATA is never active.Not with this one. The "Y" connector is strictly for USB connections. You can connect to either one or two USB ports on the computer (one will work fine with most newer computers providing enough power, but you might as well use both), and the micro-USB connector on the other end connects to the enclosure.BUT, for eSATA transfers, there is a separate POWER cable: One end is a regular USB, the other is an AC mini-plug, which connects to an AC connector on the enclosure. Then, you connect the eSATA cable, and since this is the only data connection, your computer won't confuse it with anything but, and will use it as a SATA drive. Note, however, that the drive in the enclosure MUST be a SATA drive.Blue LED on the enclosure confirms power, red LED confirms data-transfer activity.Note to Linux users: The box lists the compatible Operating Systems, which does not include Linux, but it's working just fine on my Ubuntu Lucid-64.If your system does not recognize the eSATA connection, try booting up WITH the drive already connected via eSATA (and the "Y" plug for power, of course).If you're using Linux, AND you plug the eSATA connector AFTER you've booted up, here's what you can do:1. Install the scsitools package (available in Ubuntu Lucid, not sure about other distros).2, Run the script "rescan-scsi-bus.sh" as root (without the quotes of course), which will force a re-scan of all disk drives, and should confirm whether your eSATA drive is visible to the system. On my system it's in the /sbin directory, so I run "sudo /sbin/rescan-scsi-bus.sh"3. You should now be able to find the drive in the /dev directory, and mount it from there. However, on my system as soon as I run dolphin (which does not require kde, I run it under gnome), it is recognized almost immediately, even though there is no icon for it on the desktop.Alternately, I've been using Ubuntu's Dolphin which always shows the attached drive WHEN CONNECTED VIA eSATA (on the "Places" pane) - Click on it, Ubuntu will prompt you for your password, and it will connect.Hope this helps. As for actual performance, so many factors are involved, YMMV, but you can count on eSATA to always be faster that USB.And kudos to the manufacturer for making a key that is so easily stored (in small catches right under the plastic base), and so easily replaceable if you lose it - all you need is an inch of straighten-out paper clip to open the latch.Enjoy!

### ⭐ Dissatisfied customer
*by M***E on January 1, 2011*

This produce is in theory very cool. It looks cool, and its description is cool (including the part about being 'tool-less').My experience was less than cool and more than 'tool-less'. It take a 'tool' to open the latch, so the claim of 'tool-less' by the manufacturer is inaccurate IMO.My biggest complaint was that I had to inserted and reinserted my drive 3 to 4 times before the contacts mated and my computer recognized the USB drive. At that point my trust in the product vanished.It also requires a USB connection (via the wye cable) to the DC input to run the drive when connected to eSATA. The manual for my motherboard claims this should be unnecessary and some other enclosure manufacturers do not include a DC input (i.e. Acomdata, who I will try shortly).Long story short, I returned the EagleTech and ordered an Acomdata Tango.
