Sorry, I missed your post.

Mine behaves very well. Does exactly what it says on the tin. I can hotswap IDE drives and use them externally. Works on any computer, Win98 and up with a USB port. Supports USB 2.

Two things though: I don't think you can use it as a boot device and the disk isn't subject to power saving measures so I think the only way to stop the disk spinning is to disconnect it. Not the end of thew world, most people leave their computers on running something anyway.

Edit: I have never tried it with a CD drive, but I guess it will work.
