Full User Summary
Bought this for the many hard drive that was lying around. Case works great and is still working great. The battery pack can directly plug into the outlet without power cord like most of the external enclosure. Over all a sturdy case.

Strengths:	Simple to add hard drive to.Good price
Weaknesses:	Lacks decent airflow over drive

Full User Summary
This hard drive enclosure is perfect for normal home use where it is plugged in occasionally. It is easy to install a hard drive in this enclosure and simple to operate. However it lacks decent airflow over the drive for usage over extended periods of time. If you need a drive to be plugged in and accessed constantly, consider an alternate enclosure with better airflow.

Strengths:	Build quality (it's an Antec). Style. Easy setup. Indicator light on front.
Weaknesses:	No fan... but that's what the MX-1 (more expensive) is for. Only SATA, not eSATA (again, see MX-1).

If you can get a good deal on this, go for it. Yes, this lacks a fan, but it is more than adequate in keeping your HD cool. This enclosure only supports SATA (not eSATA), so it is not future-proof.

Weaknesses:	No fan

Full User Summary
This is a very nice external case. It supports SATA drives which is the way to go nowadays. It only supports USB so it does not transfer data between drives as fast as a firewire or e-sata connection would. But USB is available on about every computer so taking your drive and hooking it up to another computer will work 99.99% of the time. Would be nice if the case had a cooling fan - but I have not noticed and excessive heat associated with my drive.

Strengths:	Antec quality, Silent, Inexpensive, Nice looking case
Weaknesses:	Runs a little hot

Full User Summary
This is a basic 3.5" external SATA hart drive enclosure. Antec makes excellent cases and enclosures and this product is no exception. My hard drive does tend to run hot while mounted in this enclosure. There are many good deals available for this drive with a mail in rebate. Highly recommended.
