Digital camera reviews of Antec MX-1 USB/e-SATA 3.5-Inch Hard Drive Enclosure
Digital camera Review: Good External HD Enclosure
Summary: 4 Stars
Overall, a good case, if a bit cumbersome and noisy. The power switch and fan are a nice touch if you need that functionality.
I bought it for use with a cable DVR, but ended up just using it attached to an Air Port Extreme Base Station (i.e., I turned it into a network attached hard drive). This works well.
Installing a hard drive is a bit of a pain, but not really a big deal. Tiny screws in plastic. Eh - you only have to do it once.
The fan, while good to have if you need it, is noisy. For my situation, it's not in an enclosed space, so I keep meaning to open up the case and unplug it. It looks like it's well enough vented that this would be fine.
I would buy it again if I needed an external enclosure.
As a side note, my overall experience with Antec is positive - they seem to make good products. I've purchased several computer cases and power supplies from them over the years.
