Quiet, compact and looks good. Excellent range of ports. Choice of orientation minimises desk space.
Performance and capacity as advertised so no complaints.

Score 10.0/10
Good points:
Looks good, looks and feels solid. Since the previous version the power socket has been moved to the bottom of the case so it is less likely to overbalance the case if the wire gets tugged. So far the drives are more or less silent, having no fan, unlike the last ones I had which become quite noisy.

Since I use these disks as removable backups I really like the power socket, which is much easier to insert and remove than the the previous version - it was so hard to get in and out I was always worried one day I would break it, though I never did. This enclosure is a big improvement on the last.

rikki, london

Score 8.0/10
Good points:
does what it says on the tin - works reliably (so far) on a mac - looks neat - can be used as an external boot drive without issue (on mac osx4)
Bad points:
none yet, although the i have a couple of drives of the previous design and one of the power supplies packed in which was a nuisance - the design (and psu) on the newer ones have changed so fingers crossed
