## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐ 2.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Solid case, lacking features.
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2005*

The physical design of the aluminum case is the best I've seen, though it uses an external power supply which I dislike as it adds significant clutter under the desk, and limits portability.My real issue with the product however is that there is no power switch, nor any means of spinning down the hard disk other than pulling the power plug. I contacted MacAlly tech support and they suggested I power the unit through a switchable power strip. They also confirmed that the drive can't be spin down through software, such as OSX's energy saver control panel. Frankly, there is no excuse for omitting such a simple, and inexpensive, feature from a rather pricey product. I will be returning the product.Add a power switch, + 2 stars.Move the power supply inside the case, +1 star.In the cases defense, the LED read/write/power indicator looks awesome!

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Use as backup ONLY
  

*by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2008*

I bought this to house a spare HD that was still in its original packaging, and install OSX to be the primary operating drive for a Mac Mini G4 (its internal drive lacking).Unfortunately this enclosure does not allow hard drive error correction or S.M.A.R.T. to passthrough to the host. This means that when sectors go bad, the operating system will not know about them, keep going as if nothing's wrong, and then compound the problem by creating more bad sectors, eventually causing the drive to not be bootable, and even worse, not mountable. Which means you have to buy a recovery program for at least $100 to get your files out.I just had to spend days recovering from this failure, and am limping along with the much smaller and slower internal HD.If you only use the PHR-100AF as a backup drive enclosure instead of one that is accessed most hours every day, you will probably suffer less data loss, because backups are done best in the early morning hours with the computer not otherwise in use.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Easy to install-good value.
  

*by E***S on Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2006*

The enclosure has a very clean finish with good workmanship. Easy to install and get going. The light is a little too bright and can  be a big distraction if directly visible.Note: this unit is Firewire ONLY and does NOT have USB.
