MASSCOOL UHB-3231 Aluminum 3.5" Black USB 3.0 External Enclosure
 
DOA
- Pros: Nothing
- Cons: Dead on arrival. Costs too little to worry about shipping for an RMA. Guess that's just a wasted 27 bucks.
- Other Thoughts: Don't buy. Buy from some other company that actually has QC and won't sell you a lemon.

Rosewill RX35-AT-IU SLV Aluminum 3.5" Silver USB 2.0 External Enclosure
Serviceable External IDE HD Case
- Pros: Aluminum case cools well. Fits most IDE drives.
- Cons: I've used this case with no problems in the past, but this time the drive mounting screws didn't line up. I had to mount the drive to the case using the front two screws and leave the screws for the USB to IDE board out.
- Other Thoughts: I'd use the case again as it is a good way to make use of an old IDE drive. It will get pretty warm to the touch as the heat from the drive is transferred to the case.

Thermaltake >
Thermaltake BlacX ST0005U External Hard Drive SATA Enclosure Docking Station 2.5” & 3.5” USB 2.0 & eSATA
frustrating product
- Pros: Worked right out of the box, just plug n play. Hdd fit snugly, looks nice.
- Cons: Wont stay working for more than ten minutes. Has had issues of disconnecting a lot, then reconnecting, causing my CPU to go crazy. If I find a solution for this problem I will post it here. Very disappointing coming from thermaltake, maybe mine is faulty, But I get the feeling that I'm not the only one that can't keep this thing connected.

Vantec NexStar CX SuperSpeed 2.5" SATA to USB 3.0 External Hard Drive/SSD Enclosure (Supports 7mm, 9.5mm, 12.5mm HDD/SSD) - Model NST-200S3-BK
WOW! What a NICE enclosure.
- Pros: 1. IT WORKS!!!
2. No problems with USB 3.0 and incredibly fast. Tried it on multiple computers and no issues on USB 2 or 3. I am transferring files as we speak at 81MB/s
3. The case and tray metal and does truly act as a heat sink.
4. Nice LED. Most of these cases don't have one or they put it on the back where you cant see it.
5. My WD drive slid right in and all of the screw holes lined up perfectly. They even included 2 extra screws.
6. Y USB cable included.
7. The cosmetic design of the case is nice and does not look cheap. - Cons: Would prefer the LED to be on the front instead of the top back but at least it is visible.
- Other Thoughts: I was looking at some cheap external cases for $10 and less but I am extremely happy that I decided to spend a little more and go with this unit. (I had a 20% off coupon but it's well worth the full asking price) The quality is so nice and it's USB 3.0 for future use even if you only have USB 2.0.
I am definitely going to purchase a 2nd unit.

SYBA CL-ENC50038 2.5" & 3.5" White USB 3.0 Dual Mode SATA III HDD Duplicator + Docking Station
Gets it Done and Good Value
- Pros: Value Priced, Functions as advertised, Simple and Easy. NO problems in any mode for both WIN 8 x64 and WIN7 x32. Plugged in drives, turned it ON, pushed button for 5 seconds, came back later and the HDD was cloned to SSD, perfectly! Easy as 1,2,3.
- Cons: Connection/docking mechanics could be compromised by moderate bumping, moving, and shaking, since they don't have a strong supporting/bracketing arrangement to "steady" the drive units. But it DOES work adequately, within this fairly minor limitation. I'm certainly not willing to pay more for a better docking scheme, considering that everything else is entirely satisfactory and gets it done.
- Other Thoughts: I thoroughly checked out ALL competing units, and I'm glad I discovered this great deal on a unit that does everything that units costing 3x do. FAST NewEgg delivery, too! Happy Camper

Vantec NexStar 3 2.5" SATA to USB 2.0 & eSATA External Hard Drive/SSD Enclosure (Onyx Black) - Model NST-260SU-BK
It works and can be abused
- Pros: It works as intended. Usb and eSATA and a place for a plug if you can find one to fit it (or modify it for something you have)
- Cons: Nothing to complain about, works with Western Digital and Seagate drives with no issues.
- Other Thoughts: I have two of these that have gone though several airports, been dropped on concrete from 2 feet up several times now, and slightly abused due to rapidly packing and unpacking. They do get warm, but putting another metal object or a heatsink on top of it helps get heat off the case.

SilverStone TS07B Aluminum / Plastic 3.5" Black USB 3.0 Tool-less Design External Enclosure
I bought 3 of these and they have all failed
- Pros: At least 2 out of three worked for a while at USB 3.0 speed
- Cons: 14-months later, only two still work, but Silverstone #3 is now recognized as only USB 2.0 (not 3.0). Be very careful when considering any external USB hard drive enclosure. Best advice is to seek external enclosure alternative.
- Other Thoughts: I've had (1) NexStar, (2) Masscool, and (3) Silverstone. They all had problems except NexStar. The Masscool was 1-of-2 DOA; Silverstone 1-DOA, 1-USB 2.0 ONLY, and 3- failed about a week ago. What's with these guys? Maybe the cloud storage option is putting these guys out of business? Maybe they're just doing it themselves?
Find an alternative. Probably just lucky with the NexStar...
