Wait, is it a case? So why they didn't write down on the title "cover" or "case"? Why they talk about the data transfer speed up and so on?

It's not just a case. It's an external drive case - you put a 2.5 inch hard drive in it and then you can use it as a external USB hard drive. Basically an external hard drive without the hard drive included...

It is a case. The term "Metallic Enclosure" plus the 6.75 USD price should be strong clues about this thing being only a protective case for your hard drive.Package content further clarifies what is included in the price.Transfer speed refers to the capacity of connecting cable. (USB 2.0 connection facilitates 480 Mbps data transfer rate.)

Enclosure would be a better word, if you even want to call it that. The "enclosure" only snaps shut, flimsy, not worth it.

The size issue isn't a "formatting issue" like most people believe. It's actually due to the discrepancy between what storage manufacturers define as a byte VS what actually *IS* a byte. Storage manufacturers consider a kilobyte as "1000 bytes" when it is actually 1024 bytes (due to the binary system working in exponents of 2). So if you extrapolate out 32*1000*1000*1000 (32 Gigabytes, as defined by Sandisk) then divide that by 1024*1024*1024 it puts you at 29.8 GB. The .09 GB remainder could certainly be filesystem information, I suppose.So, yeah, basically all data storage manufacturers are lying to you, and as you increase your storage size the discrepancy percentage increases.

There's also a photo of the adapter label that displays all of the information on it, Sirik. It's on the initial product page, with the other product photos. I was about to upload one myself, then I saw that a photo is already there... Good luck! It's a very reliable drive with great features!

That is normal. The system reserves a portion for "operating overhead." Only the difference is available.I have 4 gb installed, 2 x 2; only 3.0 is available.

They don't publish what speed it is. They source different hard drive manufacturers. More than likely it is 7200 to meet the specs. From the various reviews from professionals, it meets their published specs. The transfer rates are very good. I liked mine.

Thanks for pointing out the typo. The 2GB DOM is included. The product description has been edited.

Well to be honest I do not know, nor have I looked into the exact Transfer Speed. But I do know that It is not slow by any means when transferring your data.

i don't think that is an issue. the case goes on and off with just a snap. i have had mind for a while and it has served me very well. note i have not had occasion to remove my case from the computer but again it appears it should not be that hard or damaging.

... the drive is actually faster than advertised - maybe your system config needs a little tweaking ...

that's what i want to know myself before purchasing it ............nobody has commneted on the dual layer write capability - i am surprised..

Sorry,we are not sure about the case condition you use,so we can not confirm that.

No, that does not sound normal at all. Mine has never heated up noticeably, even when transferring hundreds of gigabytes. Sounds to me like there's something the matter with yours.

Same issue here...constant write protection issues. Even after removing all read write protection on both sides it still has issues. Format no help either. Weird.

I don't think you missed it. It just isn't advertised in the ad. That's very foolish on their part. There's no way to tell how many customers didn't buy because of this. I had to research, research, and research to make sure before I decided to buy but it has 8 GB.

I'm using it for over a month now... has never hung on me even once. I dont think the case has anything to do with this... Probably you should consider writing to Kindle customer care.

The speed of a single drive is irrelevant when it's paired up with other drives, AND it's in an NAS. The bottleneck will always be the bus, not the drive.

You might need to show us what case it is so I could help you. But you just said "this case came up", I was like "what case?" At least post a picture what the case look like or give me the link/website to the case. :)
