A superior enclosure IMHO

"Replaced a Thermaltake Rio (no fan) enclosure which I had for just over one year before the light went out in it. On the Rio, when the light goes, there is a real risk of little ones in the house fogetting to turn it off and burning up the drive. The drive is a Seagate Baracuda 320Gb SATA. I use the USB connection but plan on going SATA when my system upgrades. I simply wanted a unit that I could depend on w..." Read Full Review »

Power problems!

"A huge problem is the power connector: The end of the lead from the transformer brick has a round connector (similar to S-video) that plugs into the drive enclosure.

I tryed to tape it to the case using electrical tape and when that didn't hold up I resorted to mashing the male plug end with pliers to make it grip & stay in better! It i..." Read Full Review »

"I picked this up to facilitate copying and backup jobs, along with hard drive diagnostics. The beauty of SATA is that the hookups for a 2.5" hard drive (such as from a laptop) are the same as those of a 3.5" desktop drive.

This chassis is well built. Materials are solid, and of good design. The coo …" Read Full Review »

The LED is a bit dim for normal use, but otherwise the enclosure functions fine. Haven't gotten to use it on …" Read Full Review »
