Great item for a fab price. My only problem is that looking at other reviews some people got a free screwdriver, I didn't. But I have loads lying around anyway... The hard drive from my old deceased laptop worked sweetly in this case and now in perfect sync with my Macbook. What shocks me is that I have been running it for a while and it only gets a tiny bit hot! Go Aluminium! :) Love the cary case with it via cutting a few hole in it, it is now perfect for carrying around college. Overall I give it 5 stars :)

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT PRODUCT

This is a bargain @ £4.91. It comes with a screw driver in case you don't have one to screw your hard drive inside and also to then screw the enclosure together. And amazingly you get a soft pouch for when you're on the move. The cable are excellent quality too. Make sure you have 2 usb ports spare before you buy this, eg some older laptops don't have this. Obviously if you have a new pc/laptop you wont have any problems. This also worked with vista no problems. Buy as it is a bargain people.
