Excellent bit of kit for the money
manage to retrieve all my work of my G5 internal hard drive when it died on me. Great piece of kit, can also continue to use it as a back up hard drive. Arrived quickly!

It does the job, but does not have a card reader
This is bit like a Tupperware box - plastic that clips together. It holds the disk reasonable well. The USB cable is only a foot long - fine for use with a laptop, but a bit short for use with a desktop. It is sold as including a card reader - but it actually has only a space to STORE SD cards - I could find no trace of a card-reader.

Cheap box around a decent SATA/USB3 adapter
Basically a cheap plastic box with a good SATA to USB adapter. I get around 100 - 130 MB/S into a Linux box on large files. You could use the adapter separately and dispense with the box - but the box actually works very well to protect from shocks (and short-circuits on my untidy workstation).
Wouldn't use this for a drive needing good cooling, but for a backup drive or data transfer this is fine.

Good bit of budget kit
Works well. I have had budget external drive caddies before which were shoddy and unreliable; this one however has so far proven to be up to the job.

Cheap but practical
I wanted to an case for a hard drive to connect to a Rasp Pi to be used as a basic backup device across the internet - nothing fancy or high performance needed.
Its a cheap case, but I wasn't expecting much given the price! I like the fact that the USB<>SATA controller is separate to the case. It will do exactly what I need it to do!
it holds a 3.5" HDD well, but I would worry about using this with a 2.5" unit as I cant see how it would be supported in transit.
Would I buy again? Probably yes but it depends on its use.
