Fast, easy, cheap, but no airflow
|
True to the Adaptec name, the ACS-300 runs fast and reliable. It was super simple to setup and transfers data acceptably fast over USB2. When you've got a ton of data you need to move, there's an eSATA port right on back - don't even have to remove the drive to run at 3gbps.
My only complaint: the chassis has no ventilation. No fans, no air vents, nothing. I've had quite a few MAXTOR drives die from overheating in the past (and have since given up on Maxtor altogether because of it) so I'm a little worried. It's advertised that the aluminum case aids in heat dissipation. =\ ...Right... is that a feature or just an accident? Sure the aluminum case warms up, but nowhere NEAR as hot as the drive inside. But, it's been working fine for a while now so hopefully this won't be a problem.
Still, I wouldn't throw a Maxtor drive in there. ;) |
