1:1) purchased by the reviewer, but i don’t think many customers realize this and assume all reviews are of the same product.
I wish it also had a standalone erase function with the various methods such as simple wipe, multipass, dod, etc.
Price
Just what i was looking for, the price is high for a reason.
Packaging/appearance
What's worse is that for amazon's listing, in the from the manufacturer section, the details refer to the usb3.
Competitiveness
Device is well built (as most startech products are).
Using another startech product to get information off the old ide hard drives.
Out of curiosity, i did go out to buy two identical samsung 860 evo 250gb v-nand ssd sata 6gb/s to run some tests.
