I have the case brought to me as a substitute for "Sharkoon QuickStore Portable USB 2.0 enclosure" as it has given up the ghost after 1.5 years. The case itself is made of very solid aluminum and feels wertig what can not be said of the end pieces Allerd. These are pretty cheap plastic and not very accurately. When installing the board you have to have a lot of trouble to give so not askew the closure. The closure is also the biggest drawback in my view. He is with 2 tiny screws which are made of very soft steel. Even if you screw it in good careful damage to the screws can not be avoided. The screws were by 4 times will up and screw useless with me. Since you should definitely get from the hardware store other. The USB cable is very stable (much better than my old housing), and is still quite flexible. The transmission speed is far also good (about 100MB / s according to Task Manager). All in all for 15 ~ a solid case. Only the assembly leaves to be desired. For people that do not change the hard drives and some patience to bring but recommended 100%.
