It does with me what it is. That means when I use (purchase early 2014) by a bit. I have in front of two hard drive enclosure housing + original (bought as an external drive) used for the same disk, each time had the microUSB socket believe it. These were in the enclosures simply not as well connected to the board and so no one survived the replacement housing three months (the original has also determined one year). Although the jack was here also not reinforced, bolted, she still holds. The transfer rates I can not say much, I use a normal hard drive with spindle, more than 50 MB / s were with her one way or another is not possible, I get even with large files still. Have a piece of thicker foam rubber between the plate and lid down because the plate two millimeters is too thin. Since I've tricked it no longer slips off the lid.
