Editorial Review: Product Description: Sabrent 3.5"/5.25" Aluminum USB 2.0 IDE/PATA Hard Drive Enclosure w/Cooling Fan and Audio Ports With the Sabrent External 5.25" Enclosure, you can easily add any 5.25" IDE Device or IDE Harddrive to your existing system. Connecting through your USB 2.0 port, you can reach speeds up to 480Mbps and you no longer need to open your system! This is a perfect solution for anyone seeking to add a 5.25" device, such as a DVD burner, to a notebook or desktop computer. Because you don't have to open your computer, you don't have to worry about voiding existing warranties or messy configurations. The integrated fan also keeps your device cool and operating at optimum conditions. PLUS, now you can access the audio ports on the CDRW/DVDRW through the enclosure. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Solid ProductThis product is quite solid, and at around $20, it's hard to pass up. It has a solid, metal shell with a plastic faceplate. I've had absolutely no problems with it whatsoever, and installation is a snap. Rating:  - Fan is way too loudThe fan is so loud in this case I have to power it off when I'm not using the DVD writer I installed in it. It's actually louder than the PC I have sitting on the floor and that case has 4 fans in it. Other than that I have no complaints. If the noise doesn't bother you then you will probably like this very inexpensive case. Rating:  - 5.25in External EnclosureCurrently using it with Windows Vista. Did not need to install anything and it works great. I connected a DVD burner to the enclosure; I have had no problems with watching DVDs or burning video files to DVD. The fan isn't too loud. A small con is that you have to plug the enclosure into a power outlet; it does not get any of its power through the USB connection. The enclosure I got is more round/oval than it is square, but it poses no problems for me. Rating: - Works...Had an old CD-RW sitting around...so I ordered this to be able to use with an Asus Eee laptop. This alternative is so much more attractive & cheaper than purchasing an external drive. You actually get the same thing for a much higher cost...rather than just buying an internal drive & this enclosure. Rating: - Easy to installSabrent EC-525K USB 2.0 5.25-Inch Aluminum 5.25-Inch IDE Hard Drive Enclosure for CD-ROM/CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-ROM/DVD+RW/DVD-RE Bought for ide dvd drive from old computer(new unit is SATA, so would'nt fit internally. Works plug& play for Samsung and for NEC dvd drives. Plastic end caps as stated in other post and useless instructions but works great. I used a remote control plug and velcroed the remote to the front of desk to turn unit off and on without reaching to back of unit, so fan does ... Read More |
