Excerpt: "If you have seen one enclosure then you have probably seen them all, right? Is there anything that can make the Antec MX-1 stand above the multitude of external hard drive enclosures that litter store shelves and online merchants like blades of grass on a prairie? To fast forward to the conclusion the short answer is, yes. Unless price is the numero uno consideration the Antec MX-1 should be at the top of anyone’s shortlist. Read on to find out just what makes this enclosure so special!"

That is always true, no chance of the cat deciding to rub up against the enclosure and knock it off the desk onto the hard floor for instance. :ahhhhh:

Xero, this enclosure would be great to hide since the fan and airflow can't be heard. It already cools the drive better than the typical computer case.

I always held a negative view of external HDD enclosures due to damaging heat buildup and/or subpar performance, but I have to say the MX-1 proved neither has to be put up with to have portability and ease of use of an external drive. And since I leave my machines on 24/7 these days it is nice to be able to shut off the drive to save it from wear.
