 Disappointed, no fanSep 03, 2007
Read a good review of a different ADS enclosure online, so was looking forward to purchasing this enclosure.
Goes together well enough. My main disappointment is that there is no fan to help cool the drive. The manual mentions one in its instructions, but there isn't one there.
 Works For MeAug 15, 2007
The motherboard went kaput on my old computer. I was told that I could buy one of these gadgets and get my files off the hard drive. So I ordered this conversion kit. Piece of cake! Easy instructions and like one of the other customers wrote, it takes about ten minutes to install and Voila! Not only that, but if you do happen to have any questions you can go to the website of ADS Tech and they will help you. Please note that in some cases,there may be security privileges you need to grant on the computer you're using to access all the files. The security settings are found within Windows and ownership may need to be changed on the files and folders on the hard drive. I had to get someone with a little more computer savy to help me with changing ownership and access rights to folders and files. This process only takes about 5 or 10 minutes though. After that, you are good to go!!!!!!
Converting an internal hard drive to an external oneMar 14, 2007
The kit was received on timre as promised. The instruction for installing the hard drive were complete and easy to understand. After I finished the installation the hard drive worked perfectly and I'm still using it.
 Died youngFeb 24, 2007
Great concept; worked a few times before the USB connection at the back of the drive enclosure itself died. The included instructions are below average, and their website is useless. This sleek piece of aluminum is off to the recycling bin!

Easy to useJan 21, 2007
The ADS hard drive conversion kit is easy to use and it's a perfect way to move data from old PC's to a new one. I've got 2 of these kits. One I've put away in a fireproof safe after backing up all my important data and the other is set up to do a weekly backup.
