Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Antec MX-100 3.5-Inch USB Aluminum Enclosure for SATA Hard Drive
Customer Review: A Life Saving Quick Swap
Summary: 5 Stars
This object alone saved nearly three years of hard work (documents, studies, and pictures). I owned a Western Digital 320gb external hardrive, as sturdy as the ext hd was, it couldn't survive my little nephews constant tugging on the wires. After opening it I quickly thought I could fix it with a soldering iron (oh how wrong I was), only to have a handful of burns literally. Realizing the problem layed within the usb and power area, a few stores reccomended me some rather pricey (50-80$) replacements. Problem was for that price I could easily go out and buy a new ext hd, grab the part needed from that and fix it on my own so on so fourth.
After a little bit more searching I came to the conclusion Antec's MX-100 would not only do what I only hoped for, but exceed that of what I thought I could do and for a much more reasonable price (under 30$). When I received it I was also happily suprised to see how nice the brushed look had over the aluminum, and the ease of installation didn't hurt either. Running this thing for a few hours at a time swapping data between computers and laptops, I've found the MX-100 to minimal heating (with no issues currently present). It's just as functional as my Western Digital.
The set up is amongst one of the easiest things to do in a gadget run world today. Remove your hardrive from its current enclosure, open the MX-100 by the power switch side, mount your hardrive into the little slot, and aline the little led light cable. Close, screw in four screws, and plug in the two cables given with it (power supply, and USB 2.0), and well there you go. Whenever you're ready to use your hardrive, flick the power switch to on and make sure the power supplies plugged into the wall. I mean really it can't get much easier then that.
Between the ease of use, the ability to save those hard drives often times thought to be well beyond the grave, and its stylish looks the MX-100 is a sure buy. The only con I can find (which honestly isn't all to bad) is that the cables are a tad bit short, and your hard drive may feel a little loose in there enclosure. Just a small gripe of mine, however that does not effect my views of this at all.
