It’s always been my thought that the best product is the one that does exactly what it promises to do, without nit-picks, without flaws, and without hassle. While it sounds simple, creating a product that does exactly that is very, very difficult. Today’s product to be subjugated to a test for idealism is Silverstone’s first foray into the realm of hard drive enclosures, the MS01.

Cooler Master enters the external hard drive enclosure market with their X-Craft series. Just like their cases, the X-Craft is very sturdy and once again does not disappoint. Everything from the tool-free design down to the extra USB/Firewire connectors and great looks make it a joy to use. The performance for both Firewire and USB is just as expected and the backup software, albeit very simple, gets the job done.

Overall, the Vantec NexStar LX is a decent, feature-rich HDD enclosure that performs great, but has a few drawbacks. Firstly, the plastic top cover doesn't feel all that sturdy, and I'm left to worry as to whether it'll break if something heavy is placed on top of it, or if the tabs holding it in place will last. I'm also not that fond of having to pry it off to install a HDD. Full Story at Virtual-Hideout  | |  | |  | | |
