First rubbish IcyBox hard drive case
Review of RaidSonic ICY BOX IB-351ST-US by pk_banana

Advantages: Nice LED lights
Disadvantages: Unreliable, corrupts all data suddenly and stops working for no reason

This was the first IcyBox hard drive case I bought for my brand new hard drive about five years ago. It has worked for about two years then it damaged all my data, folder, pictures, documents and everything else that was important on my hard drive. Then the box decided to go on strike and not work altogether. I had to format my hard drive losing everything on it and I felt pretty angry. But I thought technology / computer stuff can sometimes be unreliable, ...
...years ago I saw the newer version of IcyBox that looked so sleek and nice with the blue LED, so decided to give it another try and put my hard drive in as you would do. Then it worked fine. BUT about another two years later it disappointed me once more. The LED lights was on when I turned the box on, but nothing came up on my computer, but when I plugged the hard drive in the computer instead all the data and folders were still there (thank God, ...

RaidSonic ICY BOX - expand your storage
Review of RaidSonic ICY BOX IB-351UE by jackcurran

Advantages: Fast speed, great looks
Disadvantages: Slighty noisy operation on startup

ICY BOX can be considered as a top-end hard disc enclosure with sophisticated looks and a great finish it creates a very modern look complete with neon blue lights on its edges. I bought the ICY BOUGHT to install a 250 GB Maxtor hard disk I bought to act as extra storage space for my laptop, whose 100 GB had filled up quickly with a growing collection of media files. The plug and play nature also lets me transfer large files between PCs and my laptop ...
...easy thanks to easy access provided by the four thumb screws which are simply to remove by hand. The IDE and power cables then simply slot into the appropiate slots on the rear of the hard disc. The enclosure is for a 3.5" hard drive with ATA-133 connectivity. The device is a nice size to sit on a desk with dimensions of 11.7 cm (h) x 22 cm (l) x 3.7 cm (d). The power supply is provided by a removal cable that connects at the rear of the enclosure ... Read review

Review-TSUNAMI 3.5" ide+sata Ext Hdd Enclosure
Review of Tsunami Speed 3500 by tomtaylor

Advantages: Stylish Nokia style outlook design and aluminium finish, comes with foot stand, easy to install
Disadvantages: The outlook of Nokia style stripe design might not be everyone's favourite

=Intro = Tsunami has been traditionally producing cases, speakers and desktop manager (mice+keyboard+speakers). In the recent years, TSUNAMI seems to have moved away from the budget/lower range products and concentrating more on offering unique, innovative, artistic and quality products. They are even Intel exclusive partner for specialist chassis design. Today I have one of their 3.5" hard drive enclosure with me for testing - speed 3500. The version ...
...fit my unwanted hard drive from the old case'. Would recommend others to check out other TSUNAMI hard drive enclosures. Basically, I think the quality is there (for tsunami enclosures), just a case of choosing the right color, outlook design, accessories, features that best suit your life style (and budget). ...
