Very pleased with this enclosure. It feels like it is well made and for 29$ I cannot complain. I mainly use it with my PVR so it is always on and not hot. I recommend it.

Use a WD5000AAKS (WD 500 GB) in this enclosure and it gets quite hot under hours of usage. I would trust nothing else to enclose my hard drive. Just be sure to use the stand provided when possible since the surface area exposed to air increases when it is propped upright therefore stays cooler.

Only issue I'm having with this is getting the eSATA to work right. If I boot the PC with eSATA connected & the unit powered on then I can use the eSATA port. But if I try to turn the drive when I'm already in WinXP my system locks up until I turn drive off. This may be a motherboard/eSATA port problem.

Put in a Seagate 1TB, and seems to work just fine. Gets a bit warm, but that's the heat transferring through the case, rather than getting trapped inside. The newer power transformer's more compact, and is one piece instead of two, like the older Nexstars.

So far so good for this enclosure. Just had to slide the front out, slip in an older sata drive, add some screws and plug everything in. Not much to it really. When running, the enclosure gets kinda warm and it sounds like it keeps the drive spinning even after shutting off the computer. I just turn the power off (No big deal).

It didn't take me 5 minutes to install the Samsung Spinpoint HDD that I have. It now sits next to my Pace Tahoe TDC755D PVR.

Bought one to house the WD6400AAKS as a backup for the WHS data and it's working very well with fast transfer and no issues unlike cheap enclosures. It's very well built and assembling is a piece of cake. I would recommend this to anyone who need it for backup, expansion storage for the Explorer 8300 digital terminal or for moving data between various places.

This enclosure looks great, and seems to function wonderfully. I have a 500GB Samsung HD in it, and it runs both cool, and quiet.

Both USB and Esata work well. The included internal Esata bracket was extremely handy. No problems and worked right out of the box.

The drive enclosure is very nice. Yes eSata speeds are nice, but remembering to turn the drive on when you start the PC is sometimes difficult. The benefit of USB is that you don't have to have the drive on when you start the computer. My drive runs extremely hot and the heat is definitely noticeable after its been on for awhile.
