 Works well, good design October 7, 2008
A nice actively-cooled design. In a short test, the exterior of the case didn't get warm at all.
Connectors all fit snugly, there's a front activity LED, and the design inside is nice, the drive drops into place and slides back to connect, no fumbling with shortie cables inside a cramped case. It's not completely silent but not very loud either.
The vents for the case are not shrouded, if you used your MX-1 regularly the inside of the case may get gunk inside (eg, pethair).
Also, the USB connection will not function if an eSATA cable is connected to the case (even if it's not connected on the PC side). Remove the cable entirely to use it in USB mode. (there's a diagram in the directions indicating this but it wasn't totally clear)
Decent case, good purchase like most gear made by Antec.
Nice enclosure October 6, 2008
Using this enclosure with a Seagate DB35 series drive for Tivo expansion. So far both are working great. Only very minor complaint is that the LED is very bright and lights up 1/2 my room with a blue tint.
Antec MX-1 e-SATA Hard Drive Enclosure October 5, 2008
This Antec product works as advertised. I installed a 160GB SATA hard drive, made the connection and it runs quiet and cool. It's just what I would expect from Antec.
Excellent, affordable enclosure September 17, 2008
This SATA enclosure runs very quiet and cool. It takes USB or e-SATA and if very fast on the e-SATA. I have Vista installed on a HDD inside this enclosure and it runs without a hitch.
I don't notice any slowdown between e-SATA and the internal SATA, although I've read this can depend on the quality of your motherboard (for e-sata in general, not for this specific device) and whether it can properly time e-sata to play friendly with sata. If your board comes with e-sata ports or brackets, you are good to go. If it doesn't you should make sure it will before spending money on e-sata. This is still a great USB enclosure, but USB is a lot slower interface and will limit you to using drives as storage basically.
If you're looking for a good enclosure, this one definitely delivers. It's sleek, good looking, quiet, cool, and most importantly reliable.
best available for the price September 14, 2008
This is the only answer I have found for the expansion of an HDDvr with Directv.
