ThermalTake Max 5G (ST0020)

Zitat: When talking about hard drive enclosures there typically isn´t too much to get excited about. However, the new Thermaltake Max5G does make the whole experience of setting one up pretty hassle free. Other than for gaining access to the enclosure with the included hex driver, no further use of tools is required. The overall look of the Max5G makes it one of the best looking enclosures on the market, closely resembling many of the desktop cases we have seen lately. The Max5G is not the cheapest enclosure on the market, which found it going for about $50 - $55. Yet the USB 3.0 and SATA-III 6Gb/s support really do make for a good long-term investment.  

Zitat: Silver Bear Award Pro: + Easy Plug and Play with USB 3.0 support + Blue LED on the fans with optional switch + Personal power adapter with I/O switch. + Excellent cooling performance and USB 3.0 chip performance + Great protection and stability Contra: - Large size and lacking in portability - Cannot draw power from computer; dependent on wall outlet The Thermaltake Max5G demonstrates outstanding performance as compared to other USB 3.0 enclosures, and has 2 innovative 80mm fans. It is a solid enclosure for storage of information at home, and with great cooling will ensure long life of the hard drive. We are proud to award the Thermaltake Max5G the B jorn3D Silver Bear Award .
