Customer Reviews

Hard Drive on the Go so long portables!!!!!
If you want to save a buck or two stop wasting money on those portable hard drives in cases. If you are looking at hot swapping this is the way to go. Not only are internal hard disks cheaper but they are easily swapped out of this device without ever having to open a single drive bay on a desk top or having to wire in an external case. Simply just plug in and play simple as that.

The only downfall of this is that the HDD will at times get hot after about 1 to 2 hours of continuous use, due to the fact there is no fans to keep the HDD cool. So word of advice if you plan on doing a lot of data transferring I would suggest in using this in either a cool room or place a fan nearby that will blow over your desk so it will keep your HDD nice and cool.
