i have 2 of them (not cases but converters+power supply).

first works perfectly with 480Mbit USB.
it's noname, nothing written on it except "USB 2 IDE Hi-Speed Adapter".
got for 20PLN (6-7$)
has one ATA port


other - has 2 ata port (3.5"+2.5") & one SATA port.

have problems with DVD-recorders, disks works OK. about 40PLN.


i don't use enclosure.
