Cooler Master Xport 251

Introduction

I would like to thank Cooler Master for supplying the review sample.

We are taking a look at the Xport 251, which is an extremely compact 2.5 inch SATA hard drive enclosure. It does not come with any frills like encryption or backup functionality. One thing you can count on with the Cooler Master enclosure is its low price tag.


The new chassis comes in two colors - silver or black. We received the latter for review.

Features:

• HDD shockproof mounting mechanism.
• Aluminum sand-coated surface.
• Slim design and easy to carry portability.
• Easy installation.
• Support 2.5" hard drives of up to 500GB.
• Up to 480Mbps transfer rates with USB 2.0.
• Up to 1.5Gbps (SATA 1.5) / 3.0Gbps (SATA 3.0) transfer rates with eSATA.
• Plug & Play and hot-swap capability.
• Understated LED indicator for power/HDD activity.
