The SiSoft results are pretty much what you’d expect from an external drive using USB2.0, the �real time� results are what impressed me.I was able to play three videos from drive G: using three separate media players from drive C: without a hitch, with these playing in the background I was able to browse images, and transfer files back and forth without any noticeable slow down.

Conclusion:
I was very pleased with the Luxon and think that Vizo did well with this one. It’s much cleaner looking than any other external enclosures I’ve seen and more compact. Installation is very simple, and since it’s plug n’ play there’s nothing to setup.Real time performance was great, I was able to run multiple different media files at once all while browsing and transferring files.I highly recommend anyone looking to buy an external enclosure seriously check this product out, you won’t be disappointed!
Hopefully by next weekend I will be able to do further testing with SATA drives using SATA connection instead of USB2.0.So check back for some testing updates.
Pros:
+ Very nice looking
+ Installation is a breeze
+ Very sturdy HDD casing
+ Great heat dissipation
Cons:
- None
