5.0 out of 5 stars "Cool" enclosure to back up my NAS. Would buy another., February 2, 2009

By	mzon (Irvine, CA) - See all my reviews

Pros: It took me just about 3 minutes to install my WD Caviar Green 1TB HHD into this solidly built enclosure. It was cold to the touch out-of-the-box and was still cool after running for 48 hours. My Vantec Nexstar3s and LaCie 1TB (301315U) do get warm after a few hours. Compact AC/DC adaptor - no power brick to worry about! No fan = no fan noise.

Cons: Doesn't come with eSATA cable. On/off button must be held down for about 3-4 seconds to turn off the unit.

Other thoughts: Back panel is plastic but not flimsy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fairly nice compared to the competition, February 4, 2009

By	Eric Arnold (Lake Oswego, OR United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm fairly satisfied with this enclosure. As others mentioned, the power button is a little flimsy, but I leave it on all the time. The blue power light is too bright, but again, not a deal breaker. Build quality is a step below my Rosewill external HD enclosure (also styled like the PowerMac/MacPro) from a few years ago.

I've installed a 1TB WD GreenPower drive and I can't believe how quiet it is even in this minimal case.

Overall: recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy & God Loooking, September 13, 2008

By	J. Howard (Paso Robles, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought the FireWire version of this case. I was concerned that it would be a cheesy cheap case, but in fact, it is very well constructed and goes together very easy. I would say I spent two-minutes assembling it with a screwdriver. My 500GB Seagate SATA drive worked perfectly in it. I would not buy any other case than this one if I needed to buy another one.

It looks very nice and goes perfectly with my Mac equipment. The light behind the power button is a very nice blue.
