Acomdata USB 2.0 3.5-Inch SATA Hard Disk Enclosure HDEUSE-504 (Silver) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I paired this with a Western Digital WD5000AAKS.

Pros:

*Well built, professional looking enclosure.

*Bright blue Power on indicator on the front of the enclosure which flashes red (well it's kind of pink actually) to indicate read/write activity.

*Average Read/Write speeds of 29 MB/s via USB 2.0 interface.

Cons:

*Gets quite warm after 1 hour. It lacks proper ventilation.

*Unlike my other cheaper USB enclosure, it does not provide Disk information, temperature, S.M.A.R.T. or other performance information to my Disk Drive monitoring software. Nowadays this information is very important for keeping watch on the status of your drives thereby safeguarding your data.

I should mention that while this lack of information could sometimes be the fault of the installed drive, I've never seen an instance where the faulty drive failed to register it's model number with the software. In this case the drive just registers the as "DMI Ultra HDD (500 GB)" which leads me to believe that the USB interface controller used in the case is at fault. That's a little disappointing really.
