Diy External Hard Drive Enclosure

[8 to 90%] Using the enclosure for external drive on MacBook Pro 13 unibody. Wanted the Firewire 800 speed for an external bootable drive. Found it best to follow instructions of NOT screwing the hard drive down to the heat sink(even though there were enough screws in the package to do so). As it turned out two of the drives I was using were bad so it was easy to just open the end-cap and slide the I/O board with hard drive out to replace then slide it back in. The two end-caps (one permanent the other has screws to hold it in place) hold parts inside fairly well with a 2.5 5400 rpm SATA hard drive. This case is not intended to be water-proof, shock-proof or dust-proof etc. Just an enclosure for an external hard drive best used laying flat and still. Happy with the fact that package includes USB 2 to USB 3 cable as well as Firewire 800 cable. device is capable of daisy-chaining Fireire 800 devices since it has two ports. Included is a pleather carrying case. Has a tiny on-off switch. Case is see-through clear plastic with reasonably thick construction. The blue LED when turned on is a good visual cue not to shake or move the enclosure as the hard-drive is on and spinning. Careful not to tighten side screws to hold the end-cap in place is they may strip or crack the plastic piece.

[9 x 5.45 x 4.2"] I bought this enclosure to convert an internal HD to an external drive. I'm very happy with my purchase. It was easy to set up, looks good and is well made. Thanks B&H!

[1.75 lb] I bought this to house a Seagate 4 TB HDD for Windows backups. What I really like about this enclosure is the slip-on wide-footed plastic base that wraps around the thickness of the enclosure. This allows for a much more stable piece of gear being less likely to be knocked over sideways. And yes, I have knocked over other external backup drive products that only have tiny rubber pads inboard of the bottom of their drive cases. This StarTech enclosure rates high in my opinion because of the inclusion of the wide-footed base with the product; I would recommend it for anyone planning to build an external HDD solution. I would buy this product again from B&H Photo Video.
