Review on ๐Ÿ’ฟ Inateck 3.5 Inch HDD Enclosure: High-Speed USB 3.0 Mesh Case with UASP Support - SA01003 by Pop Henneghan

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Highly recommended! Practical and functional housing for HDD!

Well designed and built. It seems more durable and less fragile than other hard drive cases. High quality power supply (UL certified). The mesh display sets it apart from most other cases because the hard drive isn't fully enclosed, allowing some heat to escape. Depending on the hard drive and how often it's used, heat can be a potential problem. Smothering a hard drive in a plastic case (which is fairly typical) can be very inconvenient and potentially lead to premature hard drive degradation. This design is much more practical and the mesh screen should become standard equipment. Such a "gold standard" in hard drive cases would be another screen on the bottom and rubber feet for lifting the bottom. This allowed the HDD to "breathe" from below (as well as from above). In this case, adding a stand (so the case can be safely placed in an upright position) is another option that the manufacturer is seriously considering!
