Macally T-S350SU Hi-Speed eSATA/USB2.0 External Storage Enclosure for 3.5inch SATA HDD Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Pros:
-- Pretty cheap for eSATA.
-- Looks and feels good, brushed silver paint on the top sides, and gloss black front and back plates. Power button has a nice click. No brand names covering it.
Assuming it reaches advertised speeds, this will be a decent enclosure.

Cons:
--No eSATA cable. I don't really care, but it would've been nice if one of the reviews mentioned that so I could order one along with it. I have both SATA and eSATA to SATA... but not a regular eSATA to eSATA cable. I just assumed it would come with it like a USB cable (which it does include). My bad. Also, bear in mind the total price, I'm pretty sure there are enclosures that do come with a cable that are comparatively priced.

--All plastic design.

--Not screwless, so it'll be a bit slower switching out drives if you do that a lot.

--Ventilation. This doesn't really have any. It has recessed slots with very, very small gaps.. I'm definitely going to cut them out and add some breathing room. My WD MyBook enclosure with plenty of vents already gets reallllly hot, so I highly doubt this one can cut it with next to nothing. I definitely wouldn't put in a drive over 7200 RPM without some modification.
Overall, I already have a USB enclosure, so this will be sitting in a box until I get an eSATA cable. Hopefully with the added performance of eSATA, drive operations won't last long enough to cause a heat problem. We'll see. I will try to remember to update this review with any relevant information.
