Tough as a Rock - Hard Drive Enclosure

It's very rare these days that a product impresses me, so I have to write this review to let you know if you have any doubts about the quality of the materials or the workmanship to have . , no worries. It's rock solid and weighs just as much. It's real metal, not plastic. Having over 16TB across 8 drives in a 5.25" peripheral slot is great.

Pros
  • Excellent Overall Performance
Cons
  • Doubts

"Robust " is an apt description

It's amazing how well this thing is built, how tightly it can be packed into an SSD. I'm using it on a mobile workstation for an SSD RAID (there are no moving parts to push around when dragging it between locations) so the only downside to this unit is that it's HEAVY. I read the specs before purchasing but it was still amazing. Otherwise a great, totally unique product as far as I can tell. And the fans seem to be a standard form factor, so I'm going to replace them with some Noctuas to make…

Pros
  • Hands-free
Cons
  • Very expensive
