This enclosure fried my drive in... you guessed it, 3 months. There goes my 60 gig :(

Still an alright enclosure. Comes with a usb cable that splits into two. I used some alcohol to take off that stupid looking decal of theirs. It also comes with a nice leather pouch which I think may have contributed to the death of my hdd. What sealed the deal for me though is the tiny yellow screw driver it came with. Awesome for 10 bucks.

What I don't like about this drive though is that your hdd will rattle in it. You can also pull the face off of the controller board if you aren't careful.

Edited: for logic.

Are you saying that the drive was fried b/c you were using it while left it in the pouch, and it's over heated? I'm just curious b/c I'm interested in getting one of this as well to use along with the IBM deal.
