Not a review A question instead
Well infact I wanted to confirm what are the specs of the included esata controller card with this enclosure. It is PCIe x1 ? More >>

low cost, fast, mass storage
I have 6 of these units running on Vista32Pro and Win7Pro-64 PCs. Units have 4 matching WD 1TB Green drives or WD 2TB Green drives installed using striped RAID (single logical drive per box). More >>

Worked Perfectly, Died After a Day
This enclosure looks great and installation was quite simple. It worked fine with my Mac until shorting after set up, at which time it made a loud popping noise, emitted a foul odor and stopped powering on (due to what appears to be a failure of the built-in power supply). More >>

Very well built external enclosure with great flexibility
The TowerRAID arrived in a pretty big box so I was expecting something a lot bulkier than most enclosures. It turned out to be sleeker than I had expected but has a pretty heavy build quality. More >>

false advertisement and non portable
received the box today, they advertised it worked with Mac OSX, well, not really, unless you are using an OSX from 2-3 years ago. More >>
