Recommended!: $38 Hotway HD2-U2FW 3.5" aluminum enclosure USB2/FW
http://www.hotway.com.tw/hd2-u2.htm
Available for $38.00 he http://www.pcmicrostore.com/PartDeta...x?q=p:10501345 ---- Very simple drive. Unscrew, slide off cover, connect IDE & power, slip drive into bay, replace covers. Connect AC & USB/FW cable. ---- Instant auto-detect in OS. No drivers needed. ---- Small, sleek enclosure - one of the best I've seen for a 3.5". Aluminum body draws away sufficent heat to keep the drive within operating temperatures during use. No problems about overheating in use in the vertical stand included. ~7.5 GB copies in about 7-8 minutes flat over FW. ---- Can't say anything bad about this drive except the drive light can only be seen on one side of the drive, not from the other, and it's on the rear & side near the back. Otherwise, very nice! Doesn't kill drives (like those terrible ME-720 plastic enclosures that just trap hot air and kill HDs). Super-fast install, light weight, looks great, low price for dual connector. Highly recommended! |
