Consumer review (newegg.com)
At the cheap cost I paid, I would have thought I would get my money's worth but I didn't. Stay away at all costs!!!
Cheap cost
Case is so small and you have to try and jam the SATA drive inside which is nearly impossible. I got it to run 2 HD's from a computer that I replaced and neither of the enclosures would allow the drive to be placed inside and then be shut. I will never...

Bad Rebate Policy Item arrived 12/4. Rebate had o be postmarked by 12/7. No time to test unit. NeEgg policy states that if UPC removed from the box that you can not return. NewEgg should go to instant rebates like brick and mortar stores (BB).
None
Cheap case. Extremely hard to get Hard drive in the case. Have to watch out not to break the power cable on the unit when installing HDD. On/Off switch should be on the other end. Same end as USB and powr cable ; Short USB cable
Consumer review (newegg.com)
Although the drive enclosure does get hot, I've run mine for nearly 4 months constantly on, and have not had a failure yet.
Quick and simple drive installation. All cables needed are in the box
USB cable is a little short, so the drive has to stay on top of my computer instead of on my desk. The enclosure does get warm after extended use of the drive
Consumer review (newegg.com)
a cheap starter combo for people who dont care for sound or feel
keyboard slant is almost non-existant even with the legs down and the speakers overload easily under normal use

Optical mouse, keyboard, AND speakers... for the price, it is exactly what I expected. Everything works.
