Although it seems that the controller is identical to its predecessor, there are some mechanical differences that could speak partly for and partly against the purchase of this housing. The older housing comes with a base of aluminum. This is more difficult, but cooled fast 7200 r / min hard disks better because the heat through the metal can be derived cheaper. There is also a bit heavier and more cumbersome. This one is made of rubberized plastic, which although the heat can not be derived as well, but more compact and lighter. Even when USB cable you have been thinking, while it was the older housing thicker and thus better shielded, that's the new thinner and more flexible. Both are equally short.
On the whole, but you get a very suitable for most drives housing which also promises a quick change and not even acting unstable by the screwless installation. However, the aluminum of its predecessor acts solid and cools the drives better, but it is also a bit heavier. Why Many describe the operation with SSDs than problematic, I can not explain it really. SATA is a standard, whether magnetic disks or MLCs. When new drives under Windows is recommended in any case, the view of the disk partitions, possibly you have to trigger the partitioning manually.
