Finally a off switch

XION XON-ECL001 Aluminum 2.5" IDE USB 2.0 External Enclosure
XION XON-ECL001 Aluminum 2.5" IDE USB 2.0 External Enclosure

Pros: This is the first 2.5" enclosure I have seen with a off switch. I like to keep my external attached at all times without having to eject it and disconnect it. This way it is only on when I want it to be and also extends the life of the drive itself. The enclosure itself seems to be slightly faster than my previous one.

Cons: Shock protection could be better. Status light should be in the front rather than the back.

Overall Review: Other manufacturers should include a ON/OFF switch with their 2.5" enclosures.
