Review: Excellent unit ideal if you have several SATA spare dives. - Excellent unit, far better than the cheap one I purchased which cost more. This one works on all hard drives, but if you want to use it to run an SSD drive then you have to purchase an additional unit which mirrors an SATA hard disk. I would recommend this unit. Just connect it up and away it goes, no messing.
