Saturday, November 21st, 2009

Just add a drive and go. That’s what the company Ultra is talking about with their new portable, stack-able portable hard drive enclosure features a USB 2.0 and E-SATA interface and supports 3.5″ SATA HDD’s. That’s right – you can use one, or use more – just stack them up and up… and up! The Ultra 3.5″ external hard drive enclosure supports Windows XP, 2000, ME, Vista and Mac 9.0 and above. A built-in cooling fan keeps your hard drive running at maximum performance while protecting it from excess heat. Lay it down, stand it or stack it, it doesn’t matter. No matter how you use this awesome unit which I own 2 of and we have 16 at my job (2 stacks of 8 was the way we went) but honestly it will meet and exceed your highest standards. I guess I could mention it does comes with an external power supply and all USB cables that one would need.

Enclosure Type: for 3.5″ drives
Drive Interface: SATA
Enclosure Interface: USB 2.0 eSATA
USB 2.0 Transfer Rate: 480Mbps
Enclosure Material: Plastic

Antec MX-100 3.5″ SATA USB Aluminum Hard Drive Enclosure

Sunday, November 15th, 2009

Keep your data safe and mobile with the Antec MX-100 portable hard drive enclosure, the latest entry in Antec’s prestigious VERIS line of home PC components. With a stylish black finish and sturdy but lightweight aluminum, the hard drive enclosure is easy to set up and easy to use – also I found this one to be the ideal lightweight for this type of item. Just set up the drive, connect it to your computer, and start transferring your data at blazing speeds over a USB 2.0 connection. This model number is for 3.5″ SATA sized hard drives.

The MX-100 is sturdy, stunning and a beautiful portable HDD holder for any desktop/laptop with a available USB port. The unit runs quiet which is always a good thing with portable devices and this is mainly because it features a heat sink rather than a fan and this accounts for sound and noise output. While there are hundreds of hard drive enclosures that can be bought cheaper, this particular one is pleasing to the eye and does an excellent job in what it was made for. Just like anything you would buy these days… you get what you pay for. Highly recommended to other buyers from all current users of this baby!

AcomData Tango 2.5″ USB 2.0 eSATA External Hard Drive Enclosure TNGXXXUSE

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

After seeing and having some portable hard disk enclosures, I decided to see if all the reviews were right. So I went and bought the TNGXXXUSE AcomData Tango 2.5″ USB 2.0 eSATA External Hard Drive Enclosure at BestBuy in which my hopes weren’t very high considering my record with finding a quality product at a “cheap” price. Well guess what? I’M GLAD I BOUGHT THIS ONE!

Unlike the plastic enclosures, this model uses a very futuristic designed aluminum case which will withstand repeated abuse. It also looks great as a bonus and appears to do a very good job dissipating heat. The Tango drive enclosure does not use a fan which eliminates 99% of the noise from the portable hard drive enclosure by the way. I am very impressed even though I don’t know how they do it.

The Tango series external hard drive enclosures creates high performance disk storage with a real sweet style and features fast USB 2.0 and eSATA support. One of the best portable hard drive enclosures because it’s ideal for placement anywhere… anytime with ultra silent operation like stated before. You will be happy to know that this baby is compatible with both Windows and Mac OSX (thank god) making it a true portable storage device with easy installation whenever and wherever you need it.

Make your data more portable and secure with a TNGXXXUSE AcomData hd enclosure. Now go out, pick one of these up and start transforming any of your 2.5” SATA drives into a high performance drive enclosure and then ponder why you waited this long to own one.
