Jazz up your data storage with Samba.
The AcomData Samba Enclosure lets you transform a 3.5" IDE hard drive into high-performance portable storage. Samba‘s smart, sturdy chassis and the illustrated, easy-to-follow guide make installation as simple as humming your favorite tune. And feel free to improvise because you can install either a PATA or SATA hard drive. Either way, Samba's near-silent operation will help you stay in the groove while you jam in tons of music, photos, video—and any other digital files.

I tossed a seagate 1TB drive in this enclosure and it worked right away. I was able to initilize and format the drive right there in the box. The assembly is a little complicated and the internal wires are a little too long but some dilligance will yeild results.      » READ MORE

Took me a while to figure out why this thing wouldnt work with my IDE hard drive, but after research I formatted my hard drive and removed the sata connector inside the enclosure, not sure what did it but it works with my hard drive now.      » READ MORE

I've only had this a couple days, but thought I'd toss up a review anyway since I've put it through its paces a bit. I bought it because I found a handful of drives when going through some parts and didn't want to go through the hassle of installing them into my rig just to see what was on them.       » READ MORE
