| lifo195's Full Review: A D S ADS Dual Link Drive Kit with USB 2.0 and Fir... |
This Enclosure is fairly straight forward. You can plug any ATA device in (hard drive, DVD, etc.) I am satisfied with the design of the case, but could have been built better.
The Setup:
The front plate is easy to come off if you want to put a optical drive in. I helped set this up for a business, using a western digital 160 gb 8mb cache, without any significant problems. Just used win xp to format the thing. I have checked up on it, and has been running constantly for 5 months with no significant problems so far. I have tested both firewire and usb, and both work fine.
The Cons:
I am not too happy with the fan being that noisy, but I guess it's necessary. Got it at compusa for $70, which I think the thing should cost $40 at most. Though they do give firewire and usb cables, they are short.
Uncertain aspects:
I have not tested to see if a DVD burner or CD burner works in the enclosure. I heard some people say you may need to apply an update.
