Inside the box I found several small compartments which kept all the accessories separated from each other. You will for example find a user manual, USB cable, and a cd with some software. If you are using Vista it will find the device itself and you will find it as a normal harddrive in your explorer.
The enclosure is made out of aluminum but is padded with leather to prevent scratches and dents appearing on the aluminum. The top leather piece actually also protects the little USB cable that is built into the device.

On the front there are two leds that shows when the power is on and when the harddrive is working. Otherwise the enclosure looks very clean as there are no logos or extra bling. The USB cable can be pushed into the enclosure so it locks down, it’s quite short but you also get a extension cable that you use to power device with.

When you open the back up you will notice that there is no electronics that can get damaged, all you see is the SATA plugin and the power plugin for the drive. I know in some cases where manufacturers have left the components around the connectors which is quite annoying or you might end up getting a small electric shock. The drive fits perfect and it was very easy to install, this far I don’t see anything wrong with the enclosure. I really hope that it will also perform well later on in the review.
