Not suitable for streaming movies from NAS

Firstly, this case is very easy to use. I configured this with a 3TB hard drive connected to my wireless router and configured as a NAS. The problem is that the smart sleep technology turns off the hard drive in the middle of a movie, ending the stream. There is no way to turn off smart sleep, so I believe there is no way to use this hard drive enclosure as a NAS drive because of this. My advice to the manufacturer: make the smart sleep feature an optional setting.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Not sure

Almost Perfect (for Xbox One)

So after reading the reviews of people using this for XB1 storage I decided to try the 1TB spare hard drive I needed, to expand the storage space of the XB1. Pop the hard drive in there, plug it into the USB port on the back of the Xbox One S, hit the power button and it was instantly recognized and formatted to work. One complication: the case's hibernation feature stops the HD, doesn't work, and the Xbox can't wake the HD from hibernation when trying to play a game installed on it. So you…

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • No

Works great in the Computers & Accessories category

I bought the case for disaster recovery procedures, not for everyday use with a backup drive. It serves my purposes very well: it only takes a few seconds to insert a disc into the case and the disc is immediately readable on a PC. I had no problems reading, writing and switching between multiple drives. The hard drive does get a little warm in use and some people have complained about this, but that's not a specific issue for this particular case - any similarly designed case will have the…

Pros
  • Good workmanship
Cons
  • Fair

Great drive case with some caveats

Very nice case. I removed the drive from a USB 2.0 enclosure and the speed improvement was noticeable. The disc is held very firmly inside thanks to the rubber buffers on the sides. There are also rubber pads at the end of the disc, but they never touch the disc. The case lid is difficult to open, but this can be remedied by pressing on the top next to the opening while sliding the lid. The power button seems a bit superfluous to me since the drive will turn off anyway when it's idle. When you…

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other options

Turned out to be a great case

I had some issues when I first got the case as it didn't work with any of my three 1TB hard drives (Seagate and Western Digital) so I gave it to start with one star and I wanted to return it so I contacted the company and complained. However, I later discovered that the discs were not inserted correctly. I don't know if the orientation was wrong, but now all three drives are working and I'm transferring data at very high speeds. The bad rating has been removed and replaced with this one. When…
