Great Value5
Bought this to utilise the old 40GB drive from PS3 after upgrade.
The drive fits VERY snugly into the enclosure and I hope overheating will not be an issue in the future.Windows XP will not at first recognise the drive even though you hear the ding sounds and it tells you it's installed and ready to use.
You need to find it in device manager and run the initialize wizard to assign a drive letter,then format it and you'll be good to go.
Overall a good buy and well worth 8 quid.

Excellent!!5
Excellent!! Recently upgraded PS3 to 320GB and wondering what to do with the 80GB taken out. Ordered this Black Nexons 2.5" USB 2.0 External Caddy/Enclosure For 2.5" SATA Hard Drive, followed the simple fitting instructions, formatted the drive in Vista Disk Management and job done. Not bad at all for £8.98 (£4.99+£3.99p&p)!
If you want it to be usable as an external drive for a PS3 then format in FAT32 (with partitions no larger than 32GB) else preferably use NTFS for standard PC use. Or a combination of both even.

Does what it says on the tin. I needed to rescue files from a defunct laptop and I had them all backed up to my PC within 48 hours of ordering the caddy. Case appears strong enough and has not got even warm whilst running.
