Cons: Little bit long for some cases
Pros: Keeps HD nice and coolEasy InstallationBlue LED Display looks sharpHot swappable Comment:
Bought these to use as hot swappable data drive enclosures and they have yet to dissapoint. These things are great. Keeps the heat way down on my Baracudas. The LED display is informative, although the usage counter is only when the drive is active, and the temp is inside the enclosure, not the actual HD. They may be a tight fit if you have a smaller case, but they look great in my Ascension Duality. |
This is nice looking accessory and is convenient to use, but it could be designed to make the swapping easier. Some parts are made of plastic and seem flimsy when you need to pull/remove or push/insert. Considering that this type of design doesn't expose electronic components to dust like most docking stations it is overall a good useful accessory if you do swap drives often.I was able to install it into a Antec P182. It sticks out, but the computer case door is still closable. If I push it any further in it could come in contact with the motherboard components.It's a little noisy, but I can turn it off with the key when it's not in use. This is pretty nice product and I would buy another one if I spotted it on sale.
