Good review dude! Wish I had gotten one of these instead of the Antec I have.

I've had one of these for quite a few months now, they are great value.

I only wish the cover on the top was complete instead of having a 2.5" always open. Other than that there's not much more you can ask.

One word: "Beautiful".

"Beautiful" my ass it looks like toaster and so big yes make it big more buyers...in there is just conversion chip and that's it.

Better of buying just an external HDD box it's the same "shit".

I have a BlacX version from ThermalTake, use it all the time. ESata and USB work great. Last used it to setup my HP laptop new drive. They are really worth the investment if you need a way to swap drives.

I have hard disk enclosures, too, but, it is a pain to try to swap with them. Easier with one drive dock and five plus drives.

Black and some other colors would be nice, but the white looks ok.

@LiNKiN> Nice Review...
