eSata/USB2.0 Hard Drive Enclosure
The eSATA hard drive enclosure is a 3.5-inch HDD enclosure with an eSATA and USB2.0 port, and can accept any capacity 3.5" hard drive. The caddy has an attractive stylish aluminium housing.
Once you have put a hard drive into the hard drive enclosure, you can use it as a spare external hard disk. You can backup data, store file, music, movies and pictures. The external hard drive enclosure is a great way to control what you have in your storage arsenal. Being able to create your own external hard drive storage solution saves money, and enables you to select which hard drive you are using in your external hard drive.
The enclosure can be placed vertically or horizontally. The interface to the computer is either eSATA or USB 2.0.
System requirement: Windows 98se/2000/ME/XP/VISTA/MAC OS. The enclosure comes with an external power adapter with universal auto-switching (UL, CUL, CE and TUV approvals).
The power input is: 100 to 240V, 50 to 60Hz maximum 1.5A, 75 to 100VA
The output is: 5V DC, 2A, 12V, 2A

And finally, please read this!
Before you buy your hard drive enclosure, please check the following:
Is your hard drive a SATA hard drive, or IDE? IDE is also referred to as ATA or PATA. You can find this out by enterning the part number of your hard drive into a search engine. Look at the specifications of the hard drive.
The next thing you need to check is the physical size. Again, in the technical specifications, it will tell you if the drive is a 2.5" or 3.5" hard drive. We refer to 2.5" hard drives as 'Mobile' and the 3.5" hard drives as 'Desktop'. Sometimes we refer to both, for expample a Mobile 2.5" hard drive case. 3.5" hard drive do in fact measure just short of 4 inches (a weird quirk!)
If you are still unsure of the interface or size, please contact us. Send us an email with the model number of the hard drive. We would prefer if you contact us before ordering the wrong product, as it is much easier to supply you the right product the first time! And we're more than happy to help. Thank you.
