    This case was easy to install a hard drive into and set up was a breeze. The enclosure and drive stayed cool even though I wrote about 100GB onto it all at once. Worked well.      » READ MORE

     Rated by David W, August 16, 2008

    I was told it might be difficult to install a hard drive because of the tight space inside. I didn't have problem as the instruction detail stated how to put the extra cable. I had several drive enclosures, like Ventec, Antec, nGear...etc. This one replaces the nGear which causes data lost and problems in disconnection. This one has no problem and works fine right after installation is done.       » READ MORE

    Not built nearly as heavy as the Antec drive enclosure but it was cheaper. Cooling may be an issue if its left turned on for a long time.       » READ MORE

    As it's my first time to buy enclosure, I don't know if it's reasonable that many plastic parts with this enclosure: front and rare covers, stand, and internal frame (hard driver is fixed on a plastic frame). for this price, you couldn't complain much , but at least the manufacturer should provide a stronger stand like a metal stand.

    The frame itself is lighter than what I am used to. Installing the hard drive was a snap. The blue light is not the kind that will keep you up all night long and doesn't flash when the hard drive is in use.       » READ MORE
