Love the look

I put in an old SSD to use as a travel drive. No major problems, the drives work very well once installed. The only issue I had was that the cable is a bit short when trying to use it in close proximity to a USB hub, but given the case I wouldn't ask for more. I like his looks. I have ordered 3 more for other drives. The description says it fits a 9.5mm disc. It doesn't fit in mine, the connector board is bolted to the case and there isn't enough room for the drive to fit in the connector. You can unscrew the circuit board that allows you to connect the clockwork and drive, but then you can't close the cover. I really like this case but due to the inability to fit 9.5mm I'm deducting 1 star. To make it short. Good for 7mm, bad for 9.5mm, this is my third purchase. I'll just leave this one and order another one to fit my 1TB 9.5mm drive. : ** Warning, this will void your warranty ** If you are serious about fitting a 9.5mm TB drive into your case, you can do so, but you will need to unscrew the circuit board and cut off some of the rubber that the drive sits in becomes. . Which takes away some of the vibration dampening. I used the supplied screwdriver to loosen the board and regular scissors to cut the rubber. While personally I wouldn't mind such an activity, I think the average person would prefer to buy a lid that's better suited to just jumping in and walking. Other than that, the drive works like a charm in the case. No problem. No one. You can see it attached with a cable tie in the picture next to the bottom of the Ethernet cables.
