Works Great WW Forensic Consultant - 10/25/2011 12:47:35 PM Pros: Works as advertised. I have two of them, one in each of my systems. Both have been running for over a year now. No problems. The fans still work and are not noisy. Cons: The drives run a little warmer than the regular internal drives, but so far this has not caused any problems. Other Thoughts: I use them mainly for handling backup drives (1T). Though on occasion I have removed the backup drive and replaced it with a smaller one and put case info/images on it to send to another examiner to review. Works great for being able to save and move very large amounts of information. Works great for system backups also. Can remove the backup drive and replace with another so if something happens to system, you have another stored offline. 2 out of 3 find this review helpful. Reply to: Almost a Good Idea Wasatech Retired - 3/20/2011 3:18:54 PM Pros: The top has External Enclosure printed on it which implies it is not an internal unit. I removed the top as suggested and installed the topless Mobile Rack as an internal unit. With the hard drive exposed it should run at the same temperature as if mounted directly in a standard 3.5" slot. I didn't remove the fan. Cons: The top is diffcult to remove. Other Thoughts: Unit operates smoothly and it works great. 1 out of 2 find this review helpful. All but the fan 9/1/2010 5:35:52 AM Pros: Great concept, love being able to swap drives easily Cons: Wish they'd put in a decent fan. I have 3 of these - all have noisy fans (screeches, etc). Based on other reviews about the fans stopping, I guess the sound is reassurance that the fan is actually turning... 3 out of 6 find this review helpful.
