The delivery was fast and well packed. Congratulations to Amazon (for the selection of reliable MarketPlace Partner) and Memory King. That part was probably a customer returns, but looked like A-Ware, only one indented corner of the carton could be seen. Otherwise everything was great.
The conversion was made quickly and simply thanks to the included screwdriver. Here my only gripe: the screwdriver did not fit perfectly with the screws. But since I anyway prefer my tool is using the more no problem for me.
The plate was plugged board in original WD housing only on the SATA and was otherwise "loose" in the case. In this part of the board is screwed a metal holder. The top plate is inserted and fixed with 4 screws on the holder. She wobbles as opposed to the fully assembled product brand not around loose in the housing, which I find very beneficial. Allen, who is to decide for security reasons for a finished product brand here to heart: I do not see pure and know whether what's really better it! So the perceived safety of the brand is just a pipe dream.
Since the board does not have direct contact with the metal housing, a heat dissipation really is only given on the air. But as hot as a plate? More than lukewarm in my experience not eh. So what? And in case WD was no different.
Now for the function test: the plate is found on the USB 3.0 port to transfer the data. Mission accomplished.
The casing has a USB 3.0 connection (cable supplied), AC adapter connector (AC adapter included), LED and on / off switch. As an accessory, a stator with at. Perfect.
And all those who so wish to use a plate as the ultimate backup, possibly even professionally, which is probably just not going to help. I can buy a sheet cassette to protect gold bullion in front of me. The rule is: You get what you pay for.
Ingenious part to insert a SATA hard disk as a mobile data carrier. No more, no less.
