Pros: Easy to install and set up. Fast data transfers. Reasonable price.

Cons: Uses a little extra CPU(about 6%)

Overall Review: I'm using it to make a RAID 0 with two Seagate 320G drives for Adobe Scratch discs and video capture.

Pros: None

Cons: This drive is an RMA exchange for bad drive; this one is bad too; fails Long Drive Self Test with Seagate Seatools. Another $9 for return to newegg. Wonder how much of a hassle it will be this time. Seagate just lost a longtime customer.

Overall Review: Wondering why I have to test Seagate products for newegg. This $99 drive actually has cost $117(so far). Looking at the newegg rating system; this drive has 20% one egg, 59% five eggs. The WD 1TB Black has 77% five eggs, 7% one egg but both drives overall rating is four eggs. Wondering about the math there........

Pros: Reliable, easy to install drives.

Cons: Slow. Large file transfers are about 20 MB/sec.

Overall Review: Have two of these enclosures for more than a year now. Currently running two 1TB WD Green drives in the BIG configuration, basically a poor man's RAID 0. Everything works fine. Only complaint is that the USB 2.0 transfer speed is really slow, 25 MB/sec would be about the max.

Pros: 3 year warranty, WD quality

Cons: Price

Overall Review: Bought two of these for a Synology DS 212j NAS running as individual volumes. So far, so good. They were packaged well, no problems getting started and are running fine so far. As with most of the 2+ TB drives, reliability is the major issue. WD drives have been good for me so far, so I'm hoping for the best. At least they have a three year warranty. The price of these drives from different vendors can vary as much as $20-30, so shop around.

Pros: Inexpensive, cool, easy to install drive, can use 3TB hard drives

Cons: "Power saver" feature causes hard drive to spin down after about five minutes. Operation system will freeze when accessing hibernating drive/enclosure for a couple minutes.

Overall Review: I have a few of these enclosures and a few other R2 Rosewell enclosures as well. They can accept 3TB hard drives and run very cool. These RX-358 v2 enclosures would be the best single drive enclosures I have, save for one issue; the well documented "power saving" feature that causes the drive to spin down after five minutes or so. When the hibernating drive in the enclosure is accessed again, the operating system will freeze for a couple minutes until the external drive becomes active again. You can get programs that write to the drive/enclosure to keep it from spinning down - NoSleepHD, KeepAliveHD - but that's kind of a "band aid" solution. Rosewell should step up and provide updated firmware to get rid of this power saving feature. They provided updated firmware for the R2 enclosure, they should do the same here. If they did, this would be a five star enclosure for sure.

Pros: Inexpensive, it works

Cons: None

Overall Review: It's a cheap HDMI cable that works. Should have got a longer one, but that's my problem.
