Black, can sit on the desk, is transportable.

Good alternative if your rig doesn’t have pace for a SATA testing bay

It is really portable and is light and well durable. All you need carry is this and a USB cable along with the power lead.

Can test laptop 2.5 inch and 3.5inch SATA drives.

I used mine portably and at home to isolate HDD’s to defrag and virus scan them.

Will connect toWin 2000, XP and Vista. Does not need the HDD to be iinstalled, it will pop up as an external HDD usually will. Is also compatible with Linux.

The release button and flap feel durable but make a tinny noise if pressed harshly. My only concern is the risk of ESD damage to a HDD because the top is exposed so I tend to place it on an ESD mat away from other components.

It works very good and gives full speed to my sata drive, I can copy at speeds of over 30 Megabytes/second and even play games from it with no lag. It is very easy to use and I haven’t had any problems with it.
