Written By esasaki Date Written May 30 2008 Summary If you're a computer DIY'er like me, you're bound to have a bunch of outdated SATA hard drives collecting dust. While you use a SATA-to-USB connector kit for occasional use, nothing beats a good external case for permanent duty. Overview Enter... Strength Fan-cooled, eSATA-capable, all cables included, attractive styling, noise dampening absorbers, solid construction, lightweight, power switch Weakness Practically impossible to remove fan/LED connectors, pricey, dim LED, somewhat large Bottom Line It's the best DIY external 3.5" drive enclosure I've had. The fan definitely keeps the hard drive cooler. If you can get a good deal, it's a must-have product. Good hard disk enclosure with some quirks

Strength Decent looking, actively cooled quality case with eSata and USB Weakness Slightly quirky design, fan noise and no PATA HDs Bottom Line One of the better cases. This was on sale at Amazon, Frys and Buycom 25-29 two months ago but the price is a bit high now.  |
