The installation is quick of hand, no drivers required under Windows XP. The necessary cables are included, by means of e-SATA data transfer works as fast as in a interen S-ATA hard disk.
The HotSwap works completely properly, switched to the device with the power switch on the back of a, binds the plate immediately in Windows. To remove simply turn power off, wait until the disk is and press the removal button and remove the disk. Nothing hakelt or jammed.
An indicator light shows blue on the willingness of the plate and red data access.
The device is sufficiently heavy that it is solid and not "taken" during the removal is, the power supply is a modern, lightweight power adapter. The cooling plate is not needed, so the volume is more than that of the plate.
I put the unit on a foam pad so that no vibrations of the plate on the desk and my example Samsung 500GB transfer is therefore a virtually inaudible.
Round useful and well thought device that his money's worth for me, especially the additional cost pure USB version.
