Zalman ZM-HE350-U3E External USB3 and eSATA HDD Enclosure
 | ZM-HE350-U3E External USB3 and eSATA HDD Enclosure [40 in stock]  (1 customer review) | £32.02 |
“An elegant looking external hard drive enclosure for 3.5 inch SATA hard drives with USB3 and eSATA connection.”
Zalman's ZM-HE350-U3E an ideal external hard drive enclosure for those who need to store or back up large amounts of data. The white gloss aluminium casing looks excellent and helps to maintain its good looks! The casing also has a practical use in that it helps to reduce the heat generated by the enclosed hard drive by acting as a heatsink.
The enclosure is USB3 compatible so you can expect transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps. That's 10x faster than USB2! Not got USB3 yet? No problem, the ZM-HE250-U3 is also backward compatible with USB2.0 and even USB1.1. A USB3 cable is provided along with a USB power cable for when extra power is required.
It is also compatible with eSATA which provides transfer speeds up to 3.0 Gbps if USB3 is not yet an option for you.

This is the only enclosure I've found which has both e-SATA and USB3 ports. It is twice the price of a typical e-SATA+USB2 box, but looks good enough to live in a lounge among the hi-fi.
You bolt the disc drive to a very flimsy circuit board which attaches to the back panel of the case. This assembly slides into the main housing with the edges of the board running down two locating slots. This procedure requires care and patience, a potential problem in the lab environment for which I bought it.
On first connection, most PCs need several goes to recognise the e-SATA port, but this may be a problem with the host. In use, a cunning piece of plastic magnifies the light from four status LEDs on the circuit board. Read speeds for the two ports are very similar (limited by the capability of the disc inside) and write speeds for e-SATA are 10 to 15 per cent faster than for USB3.
In summary, an expensive but elegant box, which does its' job fine if you don't need to change discs too often.
