Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Pros:
Looks slick.Budget priced.Combo interface (USB 2.0 and firewire).Fanless silent operation.
Cons:
Plastic tray.Plastic is VERY poor heat conductor.(it's more of insulator)Aluminum panels don't make good (if any) contact with the drive.Without any fan to move air, I wonder how it's supposed to dissipate the heat.If the aluminum side panels don't act as a heat sink, they will just trap the air inside the case, and make the heat situation worse.
Contrary to popular myth, the aluminum case getting hot is actually the indication of the case acting as good heat sink.That's how it helps to cool down the drive.If the case doesn't get hot, and there is no fan, the drive is trapped inside the case without any means of dissipating heat.
The firewire interface didn't work well for me.When connected to a computer via firewire, the computer acknowledged the removable drive, but didn't recognize the volume on the drive.The only option was reformatting, which is unacceptable.
