Hi,

I got one of those about 1 1/2 months ago. I only have an older 30GB hard
drive in it, but it seems to work fine with an Adaptec USB2 PCI card in my
PC. Nice thing is that when you plug it into the machine, Win2K just
recognizes it automatically (no additional drivers needed). I've also used
it with my partition manager/imager (BootIt NG), and that recognized it fine
also.

I haven't tried it with any optical drives...

Jim
