Hi Maurice,

According to an Adaptec Customer Service representative (1-408-957-2550
http://tinyurl.com/3mpxl), this is a new product and has only been out for
about three weeks. They stated that it's not listed on their Web site
because it's only being made available to CompUSA and BestBuy.

The price is about average for that quality (aluminum) case at other online
sellers. Some may say they will accept a larger drive than others, otherwise
the specifications will be about the same. All should have everything you
need but the drive with the main difference being in quality and price. As a
bonus, there's no mail in rebate to worry with and wait for. Adaptec is a
brand name so I'd say go for one... if not two.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Info on Adaptec ACS-100


I'm hoping someone can help me on this strange matter. I'm trying to find
some detail specs on an Adaptec ACS-100 2.0 USB 3.5" hard drive enclosure.
Just saw an ad for it at a very good price for this type of device, but when
I do a search of Adaptec's site using both the model number and description
and even Adaptec's own part number (which I found elsewhere), they give me a
zero result. The product doesn't seem to exist on their own site. Moreover,
when I do a Google search of vendors, with few exceptions, they all show the
product, but with zero stock available. In order to save myself a trip to
the store with the ad,(if the specs don't comply with my needs) I tried
calling, but typically they couldn't give me any more information than the
ad. If any one in this world would know anything about it, it will be
someone on this list. Any help to get me out of this twilight zone would be
appreciated.
