loueloui's Full Review: Adaptec ACS-100 (2177400) USB 2.0 External Drive ...
I bought this drive on the strength of the Adaptec name. I have purchased many other adaptec products, mostly SCSI adapters, and have had very few problems.

It turns out that Adaptec, or their tech support henchmen, want nothing to do with this drive enclosure. The official word was that this product was 'unsupported'. Meaning you are on your own.

I have had several problems getting my PC to recognize this unit. The drive I put in this is a fairly new 100GB Western Digital, which I had no previous problems with. I have to completely shut my computer off, and then power up the enclosure and wait for it to get ready, and then power up the computer. No hot swap whatsoever. The same goes for my laptop, an older Dell. I would look elsewhere.
