Pros: First time I've used an external HDD case...had it out of the box and running in under 10 min. Rugged aluminum case w/matte black finish looks good and seems durable. Good transfer speed...took me less than a min to move 1GB of mp3s. Adjustable-speed fan limits noise. Highly entertaining User Manual (e.g. "Precaution: If it is a new HDD, needs to processing the disk partition" and "If you used the MO storage before, you must familiar and have more experience about it because MO storage has the same problem when doing the format.")

Cons: Very Minor - Hand screws could be easier to use. Metal (instead of plastic) tray to hold HDD would be nice. Placement of external power cord to fan is a little awkward. Plastic front/rear end caps are flimsy, but servicable.

Overall Review: I'm very impressed...I ordered this case on Tuesday afternoon and it showed up Wednesday via free UPS Ground. The plastic internals seem pretty fragile, so I wouldn't recommend it if you're going to change the drive inside frequently, but it works great as a portable backup for my music and pictures with an old IDE WDCaviar HDD. Recommended w/o reservation for light-duty use.
