Thought:
No need external hard disk case, just plug-and-play! I think it is more useful for technician who need to do backup and restore.

If for example we are using a harddisk to connect through this cable, what about the power to the harddisk? Does the power supplied through the usb?

Seems pretty big after you need to carry few wires. The good part is that is can accept 2.5 and 3.5 hdd.

Its very convenient to use cause i could carry gigabytes of file without the hassle of dismantle my desktop pc. I just love it and i would recommend to all for those mobile. Only downside was it is too fragile to carry, a three foot drop of your HDD means a lifetime regret.
HELP: I’m just wondering if you have the homepage of this product cause i cannot find any driver for my laptop which is still under WinOS 98. I’m desperately in need of this driver (Win98se) cause i lost the supplied cd.
Thank you very much.
