Not quite worth the price

Icy Box IB-223StU WH + HDD External Enclosure for 2.5 "SATA USB 2.0 White (Personal Computers)

Customer Review

A bit light for the price because for 17.40 (November 2011), I liked a manufacture which inspires more confidence. However, nothing today allows me to regret my purchase, installation is easy, the electronic card receives the drive perfectly without forcing, and it is maintained by well-designed internal grooves (without shock absorbers). For cons, the 2 screws that hold the housing and closing the electronics up struggling a little screwed (no point trying to re-open, I do not think the plastic stand up to 2nd assembly). Connectivity, USB / mini USB cable with a twenty cm, minimum, but at least no cables lying around ... Note that unlike other models, the cable is not Y (not dual USB connection, my drive and my computer does not need it, but it seems useful to specify it). If you plan to use the entire disk as a nomad, I promise not sure the connector housing will support many connections / disconnections. At the operation level (with a Toshiba 250GB disc), TimeMachine backup of 3 hours passed without problem. As for accessories, do not rely on comments (mine included!), I think they change over time. Mine came with a small manual in several languages ​​(not to rave about, even without the installation was no problem), a silicone protection (to reassure clumsy), no cover suede, CD priori PC / MAC with an "exotic" utility that does not seem to me essential, 2 screw caps (I'm not served the screw being placed under the housing, they are not visible most of the time) and a single USB cable (not Y, see above). In short, it is free shipping that grows to take a model at this price, but frankly, this is not the point ... not disappointed to 1 or 2 stars, but not as enthusiastic as other buyers for put more than 3!
