Great quality [Posted on 2008-07-30]
I actually bought this on sale to pull the drive out and use it in my computer. I ended up liking the case itself so much I put another drive in it and use it all the time.
My only complaint is that the activity/power light is REALLY bright, which seems to be more and more common on externals now. I fixed that by sticking a piece of black electrical tape over it and leaving a sliver at the top so I can still see activity without being blinded.
The drive stays cool by spinning down when idle and is fan-less, but the case is aluminum for heat dissipation.
Accomdata is a solid brand [Posted on 2008-08-12]
If I could get this to work under e-sata than it would get 5 stars. But that is most likely Windows or a hardware on my end, I couldn't get a Western Digital e-sata to work, either. So it is most likely not Acomdata's fault. Works great under USB2, and you really never need e-sata speed except for editing or copying massive amounts of data.
I have been using Acomdata products for 5 years now, about 2 drives I used their enclosure to house my drive and 4 other Acomdata drives have hummed along perfectly for years now.
Both the 1 TB and 705 GB use a Samsung internal drive, a HD brand I have not had much experience with. But 6 months out, they seem to run great. Overall, the drives run quiet and the enclosures stay pretty cool. A real nice and solid feel, too.
