    We just got one of these and plan on getting the ESATA/USB 3.0 model when its released.

    It's pretty damn sturdy and compliments my CF-30 well..
    One of the bonus features is that the HD actually contacts METAL inside the enclosure to help with heat dissipation! Too many enclosures have a plastic tray or the HD never touches the sides or top/bottom to help act as a heatsink.

    I shoved a 12.5MM 1TB drive in it and its very, very nice....

    I told them they should release a water resistant one with shock mounting...

    Out of curiosity, why did you cripple the URL?

    LOL that's one way of seeing if it is as good as they say it is.
    Yeah I didn't see a edited by mod tag in the bottom.
