4 Star Review Not too bad

Strengths:

Nice looking case.

Weaknesses:

Does not come with the generic battery pack but it is not a big deal.

Posted 1 year ago - Bought this for the many hard drive that was lying around. Case works great and is still working great. The battery pack can directly plug into the outlet without power cord like most of the external enclosure. Over all a sturdy case.

4 Star Review Nice Aluminum Enclosure

Strengths:

Very Sturdy. Activity light on the front. Compact power cable. Easy to install.

Weaknesses:

prone to static electricity. Heavy.

Posted Nov 29, 2007 - This is a very solid enclosure. The power cable has the transformer at the plug so you don't have a brick lying around. Its pretty heavy as enclosures go. Light on the front blinks with activity. It is very prone to static electricity. I keep getting shocked when I go to pick it up. There isn't a ground on the power plug but I have yet to see an enclosure that has one. I put a 750GB WD HD in it and it fit perfectly. No ribbon cable inside as sata power and connector are attached to the board which is great.

4 Star Review Great value

Strengths:

Simple to add hard drive to. Good price

Weaknesses:

Lacks decent airflow over drive

Posted 1 year ago - This hard drive enclosure is perfect for normal home use where it is plugged in occasionally. It is easy to install a hard drive in this enclosure and simple to operate. However it lacks decent airflow over the drive for usage over extended periods of time. If you need a drive to be plugged in and accessed constantly, consider an alternate enclosure with better airflow.

5 Star Review Cool running.

Strengths:

Build quality (it's an Antec). Style. Easy setup. Indicator light on front.

Weaknesses:

No fan... but that's what the MX-1 (more expensive) is for. Only SATA, not eSATA (again, see MX-1).

Posted 1 year ago - If you can get a good deal on this, go for it. Yes, this lacks a fan, but it is more than adequate in keeping your HD cool. This enclosure only supports SATA (not eSATA), so it is not future-proof.

4 Star Review Very nice external case

Strengths:

Quality construction

Weaknesses:

No fan

Posted May 14, 2008 - This is a very nice external case. It supports SATA drives which is the way to go nowadays. It only supports USB so it does not transfer data between drives as fast as a firewire or e-sata connection would. But USB is available on about every computer so taking your drive and hooking it up to another computer will work 99.99% of the time. Would be nice if the case had a cooling fan - but I have not noticed and excessive heat associated with my drive.

4 Star Review Antec MX-100 SATA Hard Drive Enclosure

Strengths:

Antec quality, Silent, Inexpensive, Nice looking case

Weaknesses:

Runs a little hot

Posted May 8, 2008 - This is a basic 3.5" external SATA hart drive enclosure. Antec makes excellent cases and enclosures and this product is no exception. My hard drive does tend to run hot while mounted in this enclosure. There are many good deals available for this drive with a mail in rebate. Highly recommended.

4 Star Review Fast Fancy HD Enclosure

Strengths:

It is nice looking. There are no data and power cables required. It supports up to 1TB capacity.

Weaknesses:

The design of powe supply is wierd. The location of switch is at bottom of the back side below power and usb cables. It does not support faster SATA transfer (3Gb/s).

Posted Mar 14, 2008 - It is pretty easy to set up. The only cable you need to hook up inside this enclosure is the front light. The enclosure is recognized by all my computers the first time I connect to them. I used this product mainly for data backup. Heat is never a problem to me because the product is only turned on whenever it is needed.

4 Star Review The MX-100 is an esthetically pleasing silent enclosure.

Strengths:

Sharp looking. Sturdy. Quiet.

Weaknesses:

none

Posted Mar 13, 2008 - The MX-100, part of the Antec Veris line, is a beautiful enclosure for your system. It's sturdy and stunning. The enclosure runs rather quiet. It features a heat sink rather than a fan and this accounts for it's silent operation. While there are many enclosures that can be had cheaper, this enclosure is pleasing to the eye and does an excellent job. Highly recommended to other buyers.

4 Star Review Solid performer

Strengths:

decent construction, quite and sturdy

Weaknesses:

runs a bit warm

Posted Mar 11, 2008 - Runs a bit warm. AC adapter only takes up one port unlike those bulky ones for other things. Very easy installation and smooth running. I would recommend it a very good entry level solution.

4 Star Review Stylish Antec Case again!

Strengths:

Style, Small, Silver feeling and SATA

Weaknesses:

Not SATA 3.0G, Still need extra power

Posted Feb 26, 2008 - Of course, it is quiet except the spinning of the hard drive, without any fan installed. Also it is smaller than the ones that have fan. Cannot feel too hot for drive. Wish it could support SATA 3.0G while most deals today are SATA 3.0G drives.Do not feel so good while downgrade the 3.0G drive to 1.5G. But easy installation. Really cool appearance.

5 Star Review Antec MX-100 external hard drive enclosure

Strengths:

Appears very well built and supports 1 TB SATA hard drive.

Weaknesses:

None at after rebate price point.

Posted Feb 20, 2008 - This is a very well built external hard drive enclosure that can support 1 TB hard drives. Seems to be a perfect fit for the new Western Digital Green Power hard drives (5400 rpm hard drives with 250 GB platters for 7200 rpm like performance, at reduced heat generation, power consumption, and noise levels).

3 Star Review The Heat is on

Strengths:

easy enough to assemble, has the cool look factor

Weaknesses:

short sata cable but does nothing addressing heat - bad

Posted Feb 11, 2008 - bought 2, but HD's over 40 C will have to rebuild the housing and include a fan. I'll keep the internals, house all my external drives in a plexiglass enclosure with fan. The price is very good.

4 Star Review Nice product

Strengths:

Easy to assemble. Good outlook

Weaknesses:

No cooling fan

Posted Jan 3, 2008 - Very convenient to pick up. Nice design. All accessories included. The one shortcoming is that it doesn't have cooling fan. I don't know if it will overheat if I use it for a long time.

4 Star Review MX-100

Strengths:

Sleek design, antec quality

Weaknesses:

very short power cable

Posted Dec 30, 2007 - This is a quality enclosure for the price. As expected with any Antec product, it is very well made. Very easy to install. Basically plug in and screw together and you're good to go. The power cord is very short and is annoying if the power source isn't close by.
