    Simple to assemble and does the job

    Be careful, the 2 plastic pieces that serve as slides for the disc have a direction, you must not swap them. This may be the reason why some users had difficulties to slide the disk in the case.
    Immediately recognized under W10, the volume goes up without problem.

    Good but not great.

    It's a hard drive case. No frills. The assembly is simple, without screws.
    Once the small electronic card is connected to the SATA ports, the disk is put in its case, and off you go.
    The positive point is the presence of a switch on the case, which allows you to turn off the device.
    The question of durability remains, how long will this device work before becoming a waste product?
    It's a bit expensive for what it is, but it does the job, for a storage drive that you turn on once in a while.
    For more intensive use, don't buy this.

    nothing to report

    does what it was bought for (I repeat "does what it was bought for" "does what it was bought for" "does what it was bought for" "does what it was bought for" because my comment is not long enough).

    Does its job

    Average quality throughout, but an easy, compact and relatively efficient controller card.
    Some problems however to drive Western Digital (all types) properly.

    Do the job

    The case is well made except for the plastic slide that hides the screws which does not hold very well.
    Otherwise, as always with Advance, the quality is good and the equipment reliable !!!!!!
