Does anyone know where I can find reviews/round-ups/guides on eSATA enclosures? I can only find reviews on enclosures that come with hard disks in them already.
I was looking at the Enermax EB307ES-B and it looks good on paper but I can't find any reviews (nor can I find any place that sells them):
http://www.enermaxusa.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=28_31&products_id=136
If anyone has any suggestions, they'd be appreciated. Important:
- true eSATA spec (e.g. I've read the Vantec Nexstar3 isn't and the drives need to be set to SATA150) as well as USB 2.0 (don't need firewire)
- hot-swappable (which I think all true eSATA are) ...I'm sure my Asus P5B-E supports it
- supports at least up to 1TB drives (I think they all support any drive regardless of what their specs say?)
- decent temps (if it has a fan, great, if not, fine as long as my hard disk doesn't fry in there)
- tooless not required (but would be nice)
- under or around $50
