Have had this Coolmax model for about a month...

I like it because it can do PATA or SATA drives AND it can handle USB 2.0 or FireWire (IEEE-1394).
I bought it from directron.com Have bought many things from there with no problems and their prices are competitive, even on the HDs. Got a 500gb Seagate SATA for this baby and one month later it's working great!
