A Closer Look & Installation

A Closer Look

These are the two colors supplied by Akasa. There is also a silver variant for the buyer to chose from. The plastic standoff is quite solid and does the job, but it does simply look cheap with the high quality aluminum enclosure being used.


The front of the enclosure sports a large "Integral" logo with the little word "LAN" next to it, denoting the variant of the case. The entire logo turns blue when the power is turned on and turns red while the hard drive is accessed. The back has the USB, Ethernet and power plug. The power switch is located all the way to the right, making it fairly easy to reach.

Installation

Installing a hard drive is quite straight forward, but a screwdriver is needed. Two screws are removed, the back of the case pulled out and the hard drive screwed into place. Then the entire part is slid back into the case. This system may not be the easiest and quickest installation we have seen, but it holds the drive perfectly safe in place.
