| The case feels kind of cheap and the drive does rattle a little when you put it in, just put some kind of rubber padding on the harddrive like the guy below did(I did the same), and its fine. Its a nice case for the price, I recommend it if your looking to enclose your spare harddrive. |

| I purchased this unit to house a laptop hard drive I recently replaced. The two housing screws are tiny, but you get four which is great because I lost one within seconds of trying to put it together. Other than that, installation is a snap. When I first put the drive in, it sort of flopped around. I pulled it out and put a tiny rubber foot with adhesive backing on the drive, and it doesn't flop around any more. The Y-adapter lets you boost power to the unit, but I haven't found it necessary to use. It would be nice if the status light was on the same end as the USB cable connector. Bottom line: if you have an old 2.5'' ATA hard drive sitting around and would like to use it as an external USB drive, this no-frills case will work. |

| Installed a Seagate 160GB 2.5'' Hard Drive ST9160821A and when I plugged it in the USB port the LED just blinks red then green then red then green and does nothing. Installed as master, CS and slave with same action. Plugged the dual USB end into two ports and the blinking doubled in speed. Hard drive is formatted and works fine but not in this case. Stuck this drive into a Powmax EMVOTB25-BK Moving Star case and it works like a champ. |

| I had an old laptop hard drive just sitting around, so i thought i would try this enclosure, and i am gald i did. this is a great product. I attached the hard drive , formatted it and away I went. The only problem i had was the screws do not go in very well. I would buy this product again if i ever have another spare note book hard drive. |

What You Should Know
|
|
Even The Best Hard Drives Die.
Do You Back Up?
Businesses of all sizes
are witnessing an explosion in the volume of data they hold. Whether it is
the result of the Internet, email, or increasingly heavy and media-rich
application software, there is a massive growth in the volume of data all
around. Conservative estimates place data growth at approximately 80% per
year. Data is increasingly being recognized as one of the real assets of a
company, and losing this data would cause severe damage to any organization.
Data loss can be very costly, particularly for
organizations in the small and medium business (SMB) market where the
difference between survival and closure can rest on the ability to recover
from a disaster. At the very least, critical data loss will have a financial
impact on companies of all sizes:
|
Data type |
Time to re-create 20 MB |
Cost |
|
Sales and marketing |
19 days |
$17,000 |
|
Accounting |
21 days |
$19,000 |
|
Engineering |
42 days |
$98,000 |
The financial impact on a company is a combination
of loss of business, low productivity, legal action, and the cost of
re-creating data. A study showed that the cost of re-creating just 20 MB of
data can be extensive!
Your best solution, is an external drive as a
backup. You can have multiple drives, and it is much easier restore
from a portable external drive, as opposed to CDs or DVDs.

Why Do I Have
Less Drive Space?
Your hard drive may show less space than the published specifications due to
a number of reasons.
- The way size is calculated and
displayed.
- Any "Partitions" on the disk will
change the total in a specific partition.
- Hidden files and folders decrease
available space.
- Compression increases the apparent
size, but not the physical size.
- Drives larger than the OS or Drivers
natively supports.
 First, the definition of a megabytes
(or gigabytes) is a unit of data storage capacity measured in 1,048,576
bytes (or 1024KB). The larger the numbers, the more apparent the size
difference will be when listing the size as megabytes (or gigabytes) versus
bytes. Actually, both numbers are correct. The noticeable difference is due
to the 1024KB definition of a megabyte. This is why a 95.3GB hard drive can
also be listed as having 102 billion bytes of total space. Just think
of it as "round off" In the screen shot at right:
The first number is the total number of bytes,
the second number is based on the number of megabytes or gigabytes.
Second, some computers have a
non-DOS hard drive partition that is used for features such as Save to Disk,
Hibernation, or Recovery. This partition is not normally reported by the
operating system, although it can be viewed using a disk partition utility.
This is very common on desktops and laptops. NOTE:
Partition information will be created or
formatted automatically during initial system setup and a system recovery.
Third, by default, all system files
are hidden and cannot be seen. This may adversely affect the reporting of
available hard drive space. You can set your Folder Options so you view
system and hidden files and folders, but do be careful as changes to system
files can adversely affect your system.
Fourth, if you turn on Compression
for a drive, it will increase reported free space and used space, but since
compression is based upon the actual contents, this number is not fixed, but
will change as files are added or changed.
Fifth, older operating systems did
not support some of today's larger drives, so the total space reported may
be much smaller than the drive specifications.
It is also worth noting that bad sectors
are corrected by your operating system and can change the total drive space,
free space, or used space as well.
So as long as a drive is reporting a value
approximately close to the specification value, you can be comfortable that
you received the right drive and that you are getting to correct data
storage. Of course, tuning of your drive's partitions and options can
yield optimal values, but this is not something for the average user to
explore. |
