RaidSonic ICY BOX IB-360AStUS-BL

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 if needed. Installation of a hard disc is very 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... Read review

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, so I forgave. When I went to Germany about three 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... Read review
