 Worked in under 3 minutes January 7, 2009
I had an older computer that had a power supply failure. I wanted an easy mechanism to access photos and data stored on the IDE hard disk.
I removed the IDE hard disk from the computer, snapped in the power supply cable and IDE cable, plugged in the power supply, connected the USB cable, and instant access.
I have Windows Vista, so maybe the drivers needed were already installed. I didn't have to fiddle with any jumper settings at all.
This worked easier than I thought - great for the features I needed.
 Up to 400GB?? January 5, 2009
My 20GB IDE hard drive installed easily, but when I tried to format the drive it would only format in FAT32. When I tried copying data to the device, it dropped out after only 126MB and now gives write errors when I try to add more files. Breaking the drive up into several smaller logical partitions may solve the issue, but at 126MB per drive letter you would only be able to use 3GB of drive space.
 Fire Hazard. Very unsafe product January 2, 2009
This product is a fire hazard. It's hard to believe this enclosure passed any consumer safety tests.
A few days ago, I had a hard drive in this enclosure, which was plugged into my laptop and wall socket. A burning smell started wafting into the air and I could no longer get the hard drive to turn on. I looked to see if the hard drive enclosure was still plugged in and noticed that the power supply had warped and melted!
This product is simply unsafe. It's not only cheaply made, but is a fire hazard. I plan to write to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
My recommendation is to spend a few dollars more and get a safer product from a more reliable company.
Buyer Beware! December 30, 2008
I would have given this product zero star if I could. I've been using couple Sabrent ECS-U35K for couple months now without any problem until last week. I had both enclosures plugged into the same power strip. Had both of them turned on and running when I hear a loud pop! then both LED started flashing follow by and really strong odor. I shut both of them off immediately, but it was already too late.
To make a long story short, Two dead hard drives and one dead enclosure. I've lost so much on the two hard drives that I will never use another Sabrent enclosure again. E-mail Sabrent tech support with no response. You know what you have to lose if this cheap enclosure kill your hard drive. Buy and use at your own risk!
No complaints December 27, 2008
Great product. Install was fine and everything worked right out of the box (of course, I do know what I am doing). I would have easily given this to anyone with a spare hard drive and little to moderate computer knowledge and expect them to have it up and running within 5 minutes or so.
I cannot comment on heat issues as I have it plugged into an old Tandy power switching system (read: giant, flat surge protector with buttons on the front) that my monitor sits on. I have the external case set to "on" all the time and then just press the assigned switch under the monitor to turn it on.
I have no reason to complain and am very happy with the product this far.
