fan does not work

Rosewill RX-358 V2 BLK - Black, 3.5" SATA to USB & eSATA External Enclosure with Internal 80 mm Fan
Rosewill RX-358 V2 BLK - Black, 3.5" SATA to USB & eSATA External Enclosure with Internal 80 mm Fan

Pros: eSata works, good construction

Cons: fan or fan switch does not work. I bought one and the fan started working intermittently on the first day. I RMA'd it and got a 2nd case. The fan on that worked for a few hours and then would not come back on after it was powered off. If the fan won't work, what's the point of this enclosure? I would not recommend this at all.

Overall Review: Got 2 of these and both had issues with the fan within the first few hours.

unreliable, causes my computer to crash

Pros: - works 99% most of the time

Cons: - my computer will lock up for a few seconds 10-15 times a week, and usually requires a reboot.

Overall Review: Unreliable, intermittent problem. Since I installed this, computer locks up or auto-reboots. I used my computer or over two years without any glitches. It might be fine for a whole day or two, or it might lock up twice in one day. Since it is a rare event, I have not sent it back because I am worried they won't find anything wrong and it will just come back (waste money on shipping). I have run benchmarks to put it under 100% load and that is fine. It is not a heavy-graphics problem. I could be browsing on the web and my computer will lock up. Never had any problems with my computer, only after I installed this video card. I've done a lot to debug the issue (re-seated it, tried different video connections, drivers, benchmarks, etc.) and it is not worth my time anymore. I am hoping it gets worse enough that I can send it in under warranty. Very, very disappointed. Not buying from EVGA again.

Pros: quiet, easy to install

Cons: Bought in Aug 2012, died in April 2014. Fan died in 1.5 years of mild usage. Will try to get it replaced but this is inconvenient.
