Summary: Too hot
Comment: This enclosure works fine, but it gets really hot. There is no ventilation whatsoever. I always try to turn the thing off when not in use since I'm worried about it shortening the life of my drive. Get another model that at least has ventilation if not a fan.

Summary: Works well, but...
Comment: I bought this from CompUSA for $20 on sale. For that price it does about what I wanted for it to use as a back-up drive. However, when its left in use the hard drive can become alarmingly hot. It hardly dissipates to the outside of the case at all. While the aluminum casing was only moderately hot I opened it to find that the hard drive was so hot it couldn't be handled directly. The plastic lining inside prevents good heat dissipation. However it is small and sleak and I don't leave it on all the time.
At $45 though, there are far better and far cheaper enclosures. The only good thing I can really say about this is that it works fine without problems I've heard with other enclosures. Still, its not worth it.
In conclusion:
BUY SOMETHING ELSE
Customer Rating:
Summary: One more thing.
Comment: Oh, and did I mention how loud it gets because of the vibration when you put it on a wooden desk?

Summary: Terrible Heat Dissipation
Comment: The packaging claims that this enclosure has aluminum housing. Indeed, it appears as though the top and bottom are aluminum, but the entire interior structure is plastic. The drive sits on plastic and makes no contact with any aluminum. There are no air holes for ventillation and there is no fan. You might as well put your drive in a toaster.
