plain and simple, useful, but not sparkling

This was the second USB 3.0 enclosure for external use of a 2.5 "SATA HD.
The first case was built almost the same principle, the material absolutely identical, but cheaper in price.
What I can not understand is that no leadership and edition integrating with known dimensions of 2.5 "drives in the enclosures. The built-in drive plugged up in its SATA connectors on the cover end to the connector, and that was about it . Even if a thoughtful user will probably not shake the housing with drive in it, it has so much game in all directions that it strikes, "if" someone does order a violent movement. So an extreme cheap solution must no longer really be! (My first case was the same!).

My problem with that stirred more ago by the not quite ausgegorenen USB 3.0 and perhaps also its drivers.
The connection to the PC comes about that is, but it also breaks down unexpectedly after some time simply again. The drive is for Windows simply "gone"!
It has nothing to do with too aggressive set power saving options. Now the problem is namely with another PC and Windows 7 32bit instead now with the 64-bit version available.
Previously, an additional USB 3.0 plug-in card in use, now the motherboard, this technique has here, and of course his own suitable driver. No difference with the ext. HD so.

What is worthy of criticism in any case on the housing, is the scarce socket, in which you can insert the rather poor Steckerwinzling before, and then has an unpleasant game. From ordinary connector you are there miles away. And the use of the supplied (short) or another USB cable does not change anything. The sleeve is slightly too short to fully accommodate the plug.
The resulting shaky connection could therefore also be a reason for the loss of connection.
It is also known that the cable must have a minimum quality, and may be too long in any case. To do this: twice as long as an extension cable by Delock connecting my external USB 3.0 card reader with additional short cable own building and safety with my PC!

My conclusion: Once again a banana product in the PC sector more, to which the customer can look, although the idea, though anyway is of course awesome very obvious. External hard drives have been around a long time, but sometimes the connections of the old models are really good and stable. Because USB 3.0 must be externally still clearly mature, if one is to evaluate it as "good or excellent".

The housing is lacking something to Präsizion at the screw connections of the two covers with the metal casing and the drive is likely to calm z. B. perfectly centered by foam strips in the direction of insertion and are damped. The shaky connections are obvious USB 3.0-principle, or rows of shoddy implementation!
