Any ratings 4 External Hard Drive Enclosures? Looking for ratings, reviews and/or advice about specific enclosures including features as USB, Firewire, fans, memory card readers, software for multiple partitions, power source?

Triton Warp Drive enclosure has a memory card reader but no fan?

Thanks

Triton experience

The Triton does not have a fan and it does get hot so I never leave it on. Had it for about a year now and now the first time I left it on overnight the hard drive was dead.

Lots to choose from...my choice is ADAPTEC

by VAPCMD - 4/8/06 12:16 PM In reply to: Any reviews on best External Hard Drive Enclosures by rafdo

because of their experience in the PC peripheral business and they handle HDDs up to 1,000GBs. I've got 2 ACS-100 (with WD320GB HDDs) and 1 ACS 100 (with Seagate 100GB notebook HDD).

The Adaptec ACS-100 (3.5" USB 2.0), ACS-120 (2.5", USB 2.0), and ACS-200 (3.5" USB 2.0 and Firewire).

Gimme a shout if you any questions.

Newegg has a lot to choose from they have better than average product info. Last time I looked, Buy.com had the lowest price for the Adaptec enclosures.

So far it works well and got it from Radio Shack for 20.00 after rebate. I leave it on all the time without problems so far.
