I bought this case because the Fantec LD-H35US2 is no longer manufactured and I need an external enclosure with eSATA and USB interface. The LD-H35US2 had an excellent heat dissipation, and was stable enough to survive the frequent import and re-expansion of the integrated hard drive. The contrast offered here DB ALU3e has no useful heat removal more because the harddisk freely suspended in the housing and no contact is more to the already very thin aluminum sheet of the case! In addition, the plastic frame to which the disk is mounted, thin and shaky, as the outer cover which closes the housing. I am surprised that this construction has survived the first installation!
