Most Critical Review

Some disk lock-up in this case

COOLMAX HD-381BZ-U2 Aluminum 3.5" Copper SATA I/II USB 2.0 OTB Function External Enclosure

Pros: Works with some drives, others not.

Cons: I've found that the following drives will stop responding in this enclosure: Samsung HD103SJ Seagate ST32000641AS

Lock-up w/Win2k

Seagate BarraCuda Green ST2000DL003 2TB 5900 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Disk access would "lock-up" in external USB, external firewire, and internal configs w/Win2k. Had to apply KB Q817472 to prevent lock-ups.

Case dimensions are wrong

HIPER HPU-4K530-MS 530 W ATX12V v2.2 SLI Ready Modular Power Supply

Pros: Unknown

Cons: The manual read the unit case dimensions are 86mm x 140mm x 150mm but is much greater than 140mm.
