| 759937 | 2009-03-26 23:59:00 | Hi all, I'm looking at this Cooler Master X Craft 350 Lite, 3.5" SATA/IDE to USB 2 & eSATA, Enclosure (www.ascent.co.nz) and wanted to know if anyone has used one. Good or bad points. I see there is no heat transfer pad, but according to the YouTube sales pitch (www.youtube.com) this won't be a problem. I'm looking for the versatility of both PATA and SATA internal connections with E-SATA and USB 2 external connections. Cheers. :) |

It's good, but occasionally drops the USB connection and requires a power-cycle to get it to connect to the host again. Returned the first one, and the second one exhibited the same trait - so I suspect it's a design flaw. Other than that, it's been brilliant :-). |

I'm considering one of these instead of a "My Book" for the drive flexibility . Any recommendations on where to buy would be welcome, having trouble finding somewhere that stocks them without getting ripped off! Cheers, Rich |
