Review on 🔒 StarTech.com 3.5in Silver Aluminum USB 3.0 External SATA III SSD / HDD Enclosure with UASP - Portable USB 3 3.5" SATA Hard Drive Housing (S3510SMU33) by Brad Mastermind

This is an early review (I've only had it a week), but I'm happy with it so far. Pros: - SMART Utility with SAT SMART driver gives me support for Smartmontools SMART monitoring on my iMac. - Only tested on USB 3.0 so far, but the speed limiter was not the case with the drive. - The drive is very easy to mount and fits well under my monitor on the side. Smart future-proofing as more computers support USB 3.1. The only noise is the drive itself. Cons: Cooling seems to be mostly radiant (no fan, not enough room for convective airflow) which means you should keep warm things away from it (e.g. don't stack it with other drives ); If you're using a high-performance drive, I recommend keeping it upright.
