Protective Plastic Case for 3.5" SATA HDD (Translucent Orange)

Pros: I have been looking for cases for SATA hard drives for a long time. These series of cases are perfect if you are using SATA hard drives with an internal or external dock.

Cons: The only bad part about this case is that it offers only a little shock protection. The latch on the case is also difficult for some people to open. However, I do not have any problems opening the case.

Other: Great for my application. Storage of lots of SATA hard disk drives. Buy this item or one of the other colors and a SATA dock on DX.

Pros: Very useful if you use external SATA / IDE hard drives. I'm using those like huge diskettes using an external docking bay, also available on DX. These are great for storing the drives while not in use, in a drawer or a cabinet. Protects the drives nicely from occasional bumps and scratches. Not perfect (See cons) but the best solution I have found so far. Bought 5 of each color.

Cons: However practical and useful, there are some cons: Build quality: - The latch is very difficult for open and close. It's built wrong. I'd like to see a different kind. - There is no seal. No protection from dust, and of course water. For this high grade plastic and such a difficult closure mechanism, why not make it sealed? The plastic work could have been better. A foam makes it seemingly "shock resistant" but this is useless, as the whole case is so tight, the disk will absorb the entire shock. The foam only helps when inserting the drive so it won't bump in the closure. Once inside - no shock resistance.

Other: Have external disks? Get these boxes. Simple.

Pros: Some ppl using HDDs for storage a data, and HDDs not in computer. For that case you need a good protective case :)) I am happy with fact that dealextreme offers different colors of it (look for other sku). Plastic is fine, color feets good to me.

Cons: Little bit tight, but at the other way if it would be less - it will be sliding or jumping inside lol

Other: Buy it for storage your data on HDD and protect them.

Pros: This have a good plastic quality. Perfect to store your hdd and keep this from dust, impacts, etc. The available colors will help you to identify your hdd with only a look. I buy several more time ago and now i buy more.

Cons: A bit expensive talking only of plastic. Cover lock could be a bit difficult to close. Maybe other lock type will be better to use in this cases.

Other: at this moment none.
