The included Press n' Go software is a story in the making. The installation process is mildly annoying with the constant requirements of user interaction; an install process should not require the user to accept 3 different agreements and finish 3 different times. The confusion doesn't end there though. This time, it is imperative that you read the instructions… cause Press n' Go don't go if you don't click first. If you want to Press n' Go, press your keyboard and go to http://www.acronis.com because Press n' Go should be gone. Enter Screenshot.



Truth be told, you shouldn't be purchasing this enclosure for its software or its instructions. You should be interested in the enclosure and its performance. With that said, the enclosure is actually quite beautiful. The finish is mirror quality and there is incredible attention to detail. Everything fits tight and proper with only one flaw. The exterior of the enclosure is nearly impossible to keep smudge free. If any of you own the LG Chocolate you will understand exactly what I am talking about.


  



The rear end of the unit is furnished with USB connectivity and a D.C. input with only the need for the USB. This device uses a single USB cable with (2 heads) for power and data leaving me with the question of why the extra power input is there.


I also entered into this review thinking that there would be some noticeable performance difference between enclosures using the same drive. This proved to be incorrect; there are slight differences, but none noticeable.
