    its not micro or mini usb

    the cable it uses is not certified as a legit usb connection type

      Drives with these cables should be avoided like the plague.

      • why?

      • The Y cable is to be more compatible… it's not there for beauty. use a different USB cable if it makes you happy but my old HDD needed that cable.

  • Paid with PayPal at checkout and with PayPal conversion came to:
    From amount $4.44 AUD
    To amount $3.97 USD
    Exchange rate: 1 AUD = 0.894427 USD

    i picked this up from my local msy for $5

  • No matter where you get it from, I wouldn't trust the controller chip to last very long. Large file transfers have a good chance of frying it.

    • Like as in the chip burns out? From the heat?

  • Spend $5-8 dollars more and get something that isn't a no-name, POS: Vantec NexStar TX 2.5-Inch SATA to USB 2.0 External Hard Drive Enclosure

    I can personally vouch for that enclosure (and nearly 2,000 reviews with a 4-star rating is respectable). It's solid aluminium, very compact, doesn't rattle/flex, stays cool enough and transfers as fast as any external USB 2.0 HDD I've used.

    • I also use Vantec enclosures and I have always found them to be reliable.

  • can anyone recommend a usb 3.0 External Hard Drive Enclosure that would take either ide or sata harddrives as i have a old desktop pc that broke and basically wanting to get all the files i had stored off the old harddrives and transfer them onto 1 fresh portable hardrive using my late 2013 MBPr
