...is not actually for the Apricorn EZ upgrade Universal SATA hard drive upgrade kit, it is for the Iomah External enclosure for 2.5 inch SATA hard drive, which is a very similar product and does the same job.

...fit my unwanted hard drive from the old case'. Would recommend others to check out other TSUNAMI hard drive enclosures. Basically, I think the quality is there (for tsunami enclosures), just a case of choosing the right color, outlook design, accessories, features that best suit your life style (and budget). ...
