Pros: The product works for use as a portable hard drive.
Cons: The fan is lousy, could have used a better one for the price it cost.

| lifo195's Full Review: A D S USB 2.0 Drive Kit (USBX-804) Storage Cabinet |
Overview:
I actually helped a business setup an ADS USB 2.0 and Firewire enclosure. It worked okay, but looking at other enclosure they seem to have similar guts. I can't complain about performance, or other issues.
What I used:
I installed a Western digital 120 gb 8mb cache inside, with relative ease. I set this up around 5 months ago, and the unit has been running constantly for weekly backups.
Cons:
The only problem is the fan is going bad. It is constantly loud, and most likely going bad. I am planning on replacing the fan to a ball bearing or some other solution. This enclosure wasn't cheap, so to provide a better fan would have been better.
Recommendation:
For casual or home usage, this product would be okay. Not for business use for constant backups.
Recommended:
Yes
