...WHY ?
"""""""""""
Why, you might ask, would anyone want a NEWlink USB2.0IDE & SATA Hard DriveEnclosure ? And even more to the point, why would such a person buy one, admit it and then go ahead and review it?
The answer my friend, is not blowing in the wind.! It was sitting on my shelf. It was a spare 80GB hard drive, that I had taken out of my PC when I put in a larger drive.
It annoyed me that this major investment when I first built my PC was now sitting idly by, giving me no return for my money.
Neither was there much point looking to dispose of it through Exchange & Mart, Ebay or the local shop window ads - who wants a redundant hard drive ? - especially when mine is SATA.
So for a little while, I had looked for an enclosure like this, into which I could place my hard disk, plug it into my USB and have an extra...

Advantages: Small, High Capacity, Quick Transfer Rate Disadvantages: None As Yet
...I bought this pen drive when I came across a website that I found on google by accident. They were selling it in their sale for £14.99. So I though that I would give it a try.
It cam in the post, and I opened the bag that it came in, and I was shocked by the size of the pen. It was the smallest pen that I had ever seen. I was worried at first because it is so small that it would be easy to lose it, and I thought that I would very quickly. Although there is a hole at the end where you can put a clip through so you can attach it to something, i.e. around you neck, on a key ring, etc.
It has a lid to keep the USB connection clean and so that it can not be broken. Once it has been taken off, you can plug it straight into the USB port on you computer. It works at its best via the USB2.0 port. This allows high speeds of data transfer...

Advantages: Portable, easy to use, never failed on me yet! Disadvantages: Perhaps only the disc size, but it has taken me 2 years to fill it!
...Wester Digital, a respected brand name, and i agree!
I have owned the unit now for around 2 years, and have 0 problems. My internal hard drive has died on me twice but my external one, never!
This 80gb HDD is perfect for storing large files, home movies, photo albums, music etc. It's ideal when transfering data from one place to another, simply unplug it, plug it in elsehwre and hey presto!
It supports drag & drop so moving files couldn't be easier.
Standard power adpater with 3-pin plug, and USB2.0 connection to your pc, mac, server etc.
It is easily recognised by each operating system and i have yet to find one that doesn't support the unit. Plug it in, wait around 30secs and it's up and running.
Can be stored horizontally, and if you have 3 like me, you can stack them perfectly, or store them vertically...
