Hmmpphh
When I first tried to insert the drive into the sled, the cheap plastic moulding of the SATA interface wouldn't fit the hard drive properly. This caused the pins to break when pressure was applied, so its been a waste of money for me... (Nice simple design though)

Works well, but cheap & tacky.
Pros: LOOKS good. Works well. Cons: Cheap plastic casing. Circuit badly stuck to casing. Thin plastic bottom for isolating HDD. The 1st time I inserted the USB cable into the drive, the glue gave away and the circuit was pushed into the drive. Had to open the drive and stick it again using proper SuperGlue. The casing is plastic. Remember, you can only screw the screws into plastic a few times before they become loose. Yes, it does work well & looks good once fitted. I wish it was built properly. Would I buy it again? No - because it's cheap & plasticky. It will NOT last more than a few months of good use.
