Overall Review: This is just staggering how much storage is now available in a single drive unit. After a long file transfer, it is hot to the touch, but if sitting there, barely warm. Annoying if you are wanting to turn it off and on for occasional use. There are 2 different style plugs for this apparently, 1 will only take up 1 slot on a power strip (cord at bottom, outlet plugs are in a 'I I' position), the other takes up 2 due to mounting sideways (cord at bottom, plug is in a = position), unless it is mounted on the first plug of the strip. I cannot hear it from 4 feet away.Р”В¬ons: 'sideways' power plug. No bright LED (some say a con, I say a pro).Р”В®asy setup (just plug it an and my computer recognized it)

** In addition, you can even re-use the enclosure (with hardware encryption) to accept a different hard drive you just have to mod the enclosure PCB. ** So I am giving this hard drive 5-stars still simply because, while it does have mandatory hardware encryption, you CAN remove the internal drive without damaging the enclosure (but will void warranty), and you can use the internal WD Blue (WD60EZRZ) in another computer.

Drive came back with no bad sectors after a full drive scan using WD's Disk Diagnostic tool. Overall Review: - Only time will tell how reliable this little external enclosure and the drive inside is. This doesn't seem to have any indicator LED. There are no indicator LED lights to inform the user if the drive is in use or on. If the enclosure dies, it is unlikely you will be able to recover your data because it was encrypted. This is Western Digital quality, so the drive should be reliable.Р”В¬ons: - This thing DOES have mandatory hardware encryption on the enclosure PCB.

There IS software & hardware encryption IF you purposefully want it. Unless you are a ninja, this will VOID your warranty.** Meaning you can remove the bare internal hard drive from the enclosure and put the hard drive into your PC for use (no encryption). Despite what people say this hard drive enclosure CAN be shucked. Power brick isn't too large, points downwards. Pros: - Sleek looking external hard drive.
