I´ve bought this because was needing more space on my laptop wich have a 60gb HD so I also bought a hitachi 160gb sata.. but i liked so much this enclosure that i´ve decided put the 160gb hdd on it.
Detailed Review HDD Player 2,5" SATA
Pro:
-plays divx very well, also mp3, mp4 (from my Nokia N95), pictures have a good quality, and also plays more formats claimed by the manufacturer that i haven´t tested yet.
-works very well as a portable HD, powered just from the USB port, and comes with double USB conector cable for use to power the device if a single port can´t supply it.
-very fast access compared with the others DVD multimedia players I´ve seen.
-supports multiple partitions (NTFS and FAT32) and shows it like separate disks when you power it on.
-The remote is very usefull and its size is very good (not too small but not too large).
Cons
-can´t show complete file names, just the firs 18 characters.
-the OTG (on the go) function is slow.
-get VERY HOT when in operation, I reccomend to use it upside down when you using it as a multimedia player, this way the aluminum case can better dissipate the heat.
- The subtitles are kinda small, and have some problems that I´ll detail below.

The two partition I´ve created. One is fat32 for MP3 because my car audio player can´t read NTFS, and other is NTFS for movies.

matrix-neo:
the "?" files are the subtitles (wich should be named as same as the avi file to work) but I don´t know why the player shows it as an unknown file.
PS.: I´ll post part of this as a Review to earn some points, but I posted the pictures and detailed review here because DX never published any pictures that I´ve sent(and never gave me the points for image upload).
I hope it could be usefull to other users, since DX don´t want to help users that have questions and want to see a real picture of the product before buy. They are really loosing A LOT of seels doing this.

I have this one too, using a 250 GB Samsung HDD.
Some more remarks:
* although it does support NTSC file system, you'll only be able to delete/move/rename/copy files on FAT32
* some strange issues with depth of folders and number of files included
* couldn't find the manufactor's homepage for updates yet :-(
* ships with US plug: using it elsewhere in the world you'll either have to use some flimsy plug-adaptor or an external third-party power supply
All in all a very good buy and working well once you've figured out the file issues.

Man you are a champ!!! I Put it in my car DVD PLAYER, I will post the pics pretty soon, you right it get's really hot! The MP4 files is not playing well there is a delay of 2 seconds between the audio/video. But the overall it's a great player. By the way,
WHO IS THE MANUFACTURE?????

The subtitle problem could be bad SRT Subtitles which where custom made and the chars aren't in the SRT

Israel thanks! I had the same idea to put it to play on my car, but right now I have no money to buy a LCD screen. I´m also thinking about some way to cool it down while playing.. maybe some mod with a fan.
Btw, this is probably the manufacturer:

I sent an e-mail for then yesterday asking about the firmware and received an automatically answer but I think someday they´ll answer...
Dylan, in all movies I´ve played on it there is a problem with the subtitles, and the same subs worked perfectly playing on my computer.
ps.: sou brasileiro e falo portugues tambem.
