Review: Great Piece of Kit... - What a find! I've used this with my MacBook Pro to clone its startup drive to a new Seagate Momentus XT hybrid drive, and also to transfer my iTunes library from a 1TB to a 2TB disk... it works flawlessly, out of the box. I was a bit apprehensive about adaptors for 2.5" and 3.5" drives, but Freecom's solution is adaptor-free and works beautifully. I'm using it daisy-chained to an earlier FreeCom 1TB external via FireWire and the MacBook sees both drives, no problem. As long as the Quattro is plugged directly into the MacBook, it can also be used as a startup drive. Another nice touch is that Firewire 400, 800, eSATA and USB cables are provided, and the mains adaptor can be easily switched between UK and European sockets, so no need for a plug adaptor. I'd also echo all the positive comments about noise and cooling. My only quibble is that when inserted, the drives seem to sit ever so slightly skew, which at first made me think I hadn't inserted them properly. Other than that, this is a fantastic product at a good price when compared to other, far-less flexible enclosures out there.
Review: Does the job - Nice array of connections. Firewire 800 I've daisy chained to another drive. Only running a few weeks but no problems yet. (running this product with a 2T WD green - keeps cool silent running, great backup drive). Pros Comes with decent cables. The connection sockets at the rear seem nice and solid. Quick to swap drives Cons: Some care needs taking to slot in a drive, and not as snug as I'd like; maybe due to varying sizes of drives. There is some play and drive could flap about, not ideal if the drive is accidentally knocked, I've wedged some paper to firm up slot. I can't say that build quality could withstand frequent swapping of drives. The power button doesn't feel very positive, its a very stiff plastic push button which feels it might break if you press too hard. The blue LED is a bit too bright. Quality I'd say should be around the £30 mark, but most enclosures seem pricey against quality. Having said that it hasn't broken yet, and drive performance doesn't seem impaired. Works OK - but longevity unknown, can always find another enclosure if it fails without losing the backup drive.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant Hard Drive Dock
*by I***N on 30 March 2016*

This is an absolutely brilliant bit of kit. My unit came with ALL cables including an IDE ribbon and Molex power to enable connection of the older IDE type Hard Drives. Freecom have obviously addressed the cabling issue for the newer production runs of the dock, so I presume that the people who get one without the cables will be older stock. I got mine dispatched and sold from Amazon, not a third party seller. If you do get a box without the IDE cables, it’s no big deal. I wasn’t expecting to get them. I would think most people who are buying this dock will have a spare ribbon connector lying around. The 4 pin Molex power cable, however, is a little bit of an oddity though. I certainly didn’t have one of those as it’s a FEMALE to FEMALE connector (they are available online for around £3 – search “female to female Molex adapter” on the big auction site ;-) The power adapter is a strange thing. It comes with a 2-pin “euro style” plug and a bundled “shaver type” 2-pin to 3 pin adapter. A bit bulky and unsightly, but it does the job it’s meant to do, namely powering the dock. The dock is childs play to use. 1. Connect the cables (power and USB) and slot your SATA drive into the top of the dock OR add the IDE ribbon and Molex if you’re using an IDE drive 2. Switch the power on and push the power button on top of the dock. The LED flashes to show connection/data transfer 3. Your drive will now appear in “My Computer” and can be used immediately. Ejecting the drive is simple. Power off and press the “eject” button on the dock I’m running the dock under Windows 7 with no problems whatsoever. I’ve attached all types of drives, SATA, IDE, 3.5, 2.5. I’ve read other peoples comments on how the attaching of the IDE drives looks messy and unprofessional, but for me, the addition is more of a helpful “legacy” thing. How many people nowadays will want to be attaching IDE drives? I imagine most people nowadays will be slotting SATA drives into the top. Either way, for me, the fact that it CAN do it is a welcome addition. The unit seems well made and I see no reason why it won’t give many years of service. I’m well pleased with my purchase. It’s such a useful tool to have and I would highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys tinkering with PC’s.
