 |  Antec MX-1 3.5" Hard Drive Enclosure Review This external hard drive enclosure from Antec promises a good balance between cooling and noise, with vibration damping installed inside; the hard drive can be accessed over USB 2.0 or eSATA and the MX-1 comes with the needed gear to get everything set up. http://www.madshrimps.be/gotoartik.php?articID=559

 | I think the Icy Box beats it because it looks better with a full alu case and if vibration was an issue, I'd sure notice that with a Samsung inside. Any test for a large backup operation? 45MB sustained copy speed are to beat =P |

| Interesting! Definitely the Bad Axe 2 or possibly software at fault on the eSATA tests. Gigabyte 965P-DS3 Rev 1 & (same?) Seagate 320gb 16mb cache drive: MX1: 136.1MB/s Burst | Avg Read 63.8 MB/s Inside Case: 136.3 MB/s Burst | Avg Read 66.5 MB/s Using ICH8 SATA controller, I disabled the Jmicron controller/ports. |

| I tested on 4 different machines, all similar results, bios issue other similar, but burst speed is not that vital in my humble opinion for an external hard drive, primary function is sustained reading/writing, right?
