Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week
Pros:
-Everything was as posted in the article
-The adaptor is well built, I tried only the SATA slot and it works great
-Comes with a red activity light.
-The power source was better than I expected
-Packaging was good
Cons:
-None yet. Maybe it could have been a little cheaper?
OtherThoughts:
I still have to try it with the mkv player I ordered here at DX. If those two work together I won't use an optical device (DVD/BR players) ever again ;)
Bottomline:
I recommend this if you don't want to spend money on an HDD dock because you don't mind all those cables lying around (including a power source the size of a laptop's).
