Needed an IDE type hard drive enclosure to retrieve information off an old disk for a relative - 5 minutes after the postie delivered it and I was doing just that.
In the box:
-The enclosure itself
-A USB cable to connect it to the computer
-Installation disk (not needed on my copy of Vista)
-Power transformer and UK plug cord
-Weirdly, a European travel adaptor plug (of no use to me with this device, but will be handy for other things, I guess).
Disconcerted by the lack of instructions, but I figured I knew what I was doing; popped the end off the case (no tools required - apart from an old biro); I had wondered whether it would ome with the appropriate internal ribon cables, but needn't have feared. plugged the hard disk in, slid the disk into the enclosure (taking care not to trap cables). Plugged in the power cable, powered it up, attached USB cable and seconds later had a USB drive that I was happily transferring from.
Tried it with a Seagate drive (which fitted quite snuggly - possibly thanks to their rubber 'sea shield' case). Also tried with a Maxtor drive which seems to be considerably slimmer and does rattle a bit.
Not quite as ugly as I was expecting from other reviews and for it's price this is an excellent buy - and is better than a considerably more expensive Akasa Enclosure I bought some time ago for a SATA drive

Very pleased with this item. It came with all leads etc. I changed Hard Drive in my Desktop Pc for a larger capacity one and got this so I could have it as an external drive. Item was brill 2mins max to install Hard Drive into it. BRILL

Amazon Verified Purchase
I just needed a cheap case for my old IDE 125GB internal drive and this one fit the bill. It has no mounting screws or anything. You simply connect the drive mechanism to the internal controller and slide the the whole thing in and it stays put. The front is ugly grey plastic with ugly decorative holes for ventilation. No screws, the front and back covers snap in place. A cheap-feeling power switch turns it on and off. The case works fine and is sturdy, though. I suggest, if you need such a HD case.. put it out of sight.
