I have two of these and the enclosures are gash ... I can reliably get any
drive I put in the enclosures to fall over with a "Delayed Write
Failed"
error within four hours - and they'll be too hot to touch comfortably.
I stuck a temp probe into one case when it was working and the drive was at
almost 50deg C.
Whip the lid off the case though so the drive gets some air round it and
it'll work forever...
