3.5 " Hard Drive Enclosure USB 3.0 SATA Aluminum External Hard Drive Enclosure with Built-in Fan

The enclosure is very easy to use - just open the door, insert the hard drive and you're done! The fan is silent and blows air through the front grille. The device connected to my 2017 21.5" iMac with no issues. It fits my 3.5" hard drive with plenty of space on the front. My 2.5" hard drive plugs right in but there is NONE SUPPORT for the hard drive case. If you put it vertically, the 2.5" drive may fall completely out of the bay (I did not test this possibility). If you move it frequently, the 3.5" drive may fall far protrude enough to disengage from the connector. The body itself is about 1-5/8" wide and the rotating "legs" are very wide and rotated 3-1/4". This would give a clearance of about 1-5/8" between two adjacent cases. I find that the case itself is wide enough to hold the device upright. I'd really like to see a moving clip or bracket on the front to hold the drive in place once it's plugged in. I'd also like to see more aluminum - the only metal parts seem to be the side covers. The RED part stays on for power while the bottom YELLOW part flashes to indicate data is present The yellow color is very difficult to see under the bright red power supply It should be a more contrasting color for the "busy" light (green?) Overall I like this case, but it could use some improvements - an adjustable clip to hold the hard drive in place, red/green LED indicator, narrower footprint with legs out, more aluminum if you're using it want to call aluminum tin case!
