As bad as it gets!

It's hard to imagine that a product like this could have so many design flaws and still sell! Here are some design flaws: Your drive mechanism is upside down. No mounting screws are used, so your drive is held in place only by the fragile SATA connector, leaving enough room inside the case for your drive to tip over and destroy itself and the SATA connector. Thick, cheap plastic CANNOT radiate heat, so your drive can quickly overheat and fail prematurely. The activity LED is so dim you won't be able to see it in any normal lighting environment, and the placement of the LED in the top corner of the case prevents this beast from folding up or you won't see the LED at all. Finally, the LED indicator is also the most annoying "power" button ever built into a product like this. By default, each time you start your computer or wake it from sleep mode, the drive is turned off. You have to press that stupid "power" button/LED indicator to turn it back on! What were they thinking? This product is absolute proof of the stupidity of electronic design and SHOULD NEVER BUY IT. Unbelievable!

Pros
  • Normal Price
Cons
