    Nice lightweight IDE Hard Drive Enclosure

    Having recently upgraded two dell C series laptops, I was left with two vintage 20 Gb IDE hard drives dating from 2003. I decided to reuse them as storage drives and so purchased two IDE Hard Drive Case Enclosure Caddies from eBay seller LUPO-STORE. The caddies appear to be made from a ABS lightweight plastic and the two half’s clip together once the drive is installed, as opposed to most designs that use tiny screws that are difficult to find again if accidentally dropped. The finished assembly is quite light to carry around has a nice appearance to it. The only problem encountered was the vintage drives themselves. The power requirements for the drives are 0.7amp and 1.0amp respectively. The enclosures are supplied with a single connector USB power lead which when plugged into a USB 3.0 outlet at 0.9 amp output was not enough to power the drives adequately. I had to use a USB splitter lead to power the drives from two USB 3.0 outlets to achieve enough power input, so an additional splitter power lead is necessary to use with the enclosures when using drives of this era.

  • Most critical review

    Does the job just fine and got all my stuff saved that I thought I was going to lose.

    It does the job that it is intended for but at a much better price than others on ebay. My old hard drive was bit of a tight sqeeze to get into the enclosure but I'm happy enough.

  • small and compact an easy to use

    I have a couple of 2.5 IDE HDDs from old laptops lying around, doing nothing. By buying this caddy, which I think is great value, I can now use the HDD as a backup drive for all my files, pictures, etc.

  • Simple to add your HDD and use.

    Set-up and use was just about as simple as it gets. The unit is powered from whatever it is connected to via the supplied USB cable. Do bear in mind that your device must be capable of supplying sufficient current to drive whatever you choose to install in the case. Typical example: Toshiba IDE 60GB HDD requires 0.7Amps. Connected to a windows PC the required drivers auto-installed in seconds and I was able to make use of 60Gb storage media from an obsolete PC. In my particular case I could have purchased 60Gb of micro USB storage for not much more than this unit cost. However, it's great if you hate waste. Fingers crossed, the circuit in the case works reliably for a reasonable number of years.

  • Use that old HDD as extra external storage.

    I salvaged a 2.5" HDD from a laptop that I was selling. I removed the HDD for security of my data. The drive was still working so I looked around for a caddy to put it in, to create an external portable drive. This is just the job. The USB allows it to run off my current laptop or PC without the need for a power cable. The caddy is just large enough for the HDD, so in total, only a little larger than my mobile phone. It is easy to install the HDD in the caddy, and just plug in the USB and you are good to go. At a cost of just £5.99 (postage free) and very prompt delivery by Royal Mail with your daily post, what is not to like.

  • Easy install IDE caddy. Great for laptop HDD drives. To make them readable or turn them into a portable USB drive.

    My old laptop failed and on taking out the drive found that it was a IDE drive. I found this caddy and it works straight away after sliding the drive into the connection port. Design of caddy ensures that you can't accidentally insert it the wrong way. Plugged it in to another computer and was readable straight away. The caddy also protects the drive from external impact and makes it a quick portable USB drive. This is the best priced caddy around. Totally happy with it.

Really pleased with my purchase !!

  • Useful for old IDE drives

    Works perfectly with two IDE drives I have. Installation is very quick and doesn't require any tools. My old negative is that my old HDD is too tall (~15mm) to fit in the case, but that's fine -- it works with the lid off. It's a drive from 1995 that I wanted to image before it died. Standard drives from laptops will fit fine.
