Title: Gets too hot, but it works
Review: This enclosure is great except that it does not have any automatic power shutoff and it's passive cooling is in my opinion not enough. I have a 500 GB WD Caviar drive in there running all the time, probably wasting a lot of energy because when my computer goes into standby mode to save power, this drive for some reason continues to run, so it is always fairly warm. I have to physically turn it off at the switch to save power. Maybe I am missing something, but I guess I thought it would be smarter than that. Other than that, it is lightning fast, and it does my full backups (>300 GB) much, much faster than USB hard drive enclosures. As far as speed goes, this is a great model. If I could do it over, I would buy an enclosure with active cooling.
