BYTECC HD1-SUS-BK 2.5" Black USB & eSATA External Enclosure

$18.99 plus $2.99 shipping.





Lightning Fast! Same as an internal SATA hard drive.

With both the eSATA and USB 2.0 connections I can use to to transfer and load drivers, software, etc. on my friends and clients computers when I work on them.

I just took the 2.5" hard drive out of the old USB external case and slipped into this new one.

As usual I couldn't resist this little device, gets 4 out of 5 eggs at Newegg.

Looks like it needs two USB or one USB & 1 esata because it has one USB just for power.

Sorry for the late response guys, was at work most of the day.

TM -
It uses a USB to 3.5mm 5vdc power cord and eSATA cable for eSATA use or just use the USB A to mini-B for USB 2.0 connection. Power comes in on the USB cord for the USB connection while two connections are for the eSATA, power connector and eSATA cable.

Yodap -
for the time being I just have one 2.5" drive, a 120 GB SATA II 5400 RPM Fujitsu I got about two years ago. It's been one handy little drive for me, it previously was in a USB 2.0 external case called a CoolPodz.

However later this year I'm going to get a Western Digital Black Scorpio 320 GB @ 7200 RPM for this new case and put the Fujitsu in another less expensive eSATA external case I'll get from eBay.
