I’ve used several Vantec SATA enclosures in my work environment and have always been impressed with their reliability. Screwing the Hard Drive down to the board that has the SATA to USB connection is essential for reliable data transfer and integrity. I bought this to replace the flimsy plastic enclosure for my Western Digital Passport Drive, which the USB to SATA connection stopped working. While it is now bulkier then the original WD enclosure, its better protected and I’m not as concerned about data loss. I strongly recommend this to anyone looking to salvage their laptop hard drives, or build their own USB HDD’s. Shop around on price, Amazon, Newegg and Monoprice (.com) are usually within 5 dollars of each other, so, whichever offers free shipping would be my choice.
