Frisby 'Mac' Look-Alike Sata/IDE Enclosure - Cheap But Functional October 24, 2008
I purchased this Frisby enclosure to match some recently acquired Apple gear that I had picked up. I wanted to clarify a few things for everyone that is shopping for the same enclosure.
1) The top is NOT Aluminum. It is plastic, painted silver and screened with the Frisby logo. The top plastic part is white, and is actually of reasonably good quality as far as color matching is concerned.
2) The Mounting posts inside are brittle (these posts hold the silver plastic top to the metal base). Mine arrived with a damaged internal post because the factory had 'over-tightened' a screw.
3) Throughput is just OK. I'm running a 640gb Western Digital Caviar SE16 in this enclosure (SataII 3.0gbps). I'm only getting 'decent' speeds with this. May be attributable to USB 2.0 bus, as compared to the chipset, but this thing is certainly NOT a blazing fast external option.
4) There is not an internal cooling fan. Some sites list this as including an internal fan, while there is certainly space for one, the option has not been included.
5) I'd shop around before deciding on this enclosure. It'll do the trick, but I wouldn't buy it if you need a 'rugged' mobile solution, OR if you're looking for good disk speed... Because it's definitely not optimal.
I've owned this enclosure for a few months, first power-supply was shot. Sent it to the company for a replacement. Tested on a 3.4ghz Quad Core Intel P35 machine and my MacBook Pro 2.4ghz Penryn.
