The fan is very quiet. Overall Review: I have two of these hooked up to a media pc and I'm very happy with them. Pros: Great price, easy installation. I was formatting the drive within 2 minutes of opening the box, because thumbscrews are used to mount the unit's cover, and the wire harnesses were well-located. Units are stackable, and include a fan. Though the side panels are flexible aluminum, I don't agree with the "flimsy" comments in some other reviews.
The unit is structurally sound and quiet, and is all metal--not plastic like other brands--which aids in heat dissipation. Large drive capacity. It's just a minor inconvenience -- it's no reason not to buy this unit. Overall Review: I have purchased several different brands of drive enclosures, and this one is my favorite due to its low price, its styling, construction and stackability. Going forward, I will be standardizing on this model for the reasons stated above.

Pictured here clockwise : the enclosure, the power adapter, stands, and a bag containing the USB cable, driver disk, and User Manual. Included also inside the enclosure is a small bag with four screws for mounting your hard drive. The KHU does require the power adapter to operate. The lead from it to the enclosure is fairly generous just over four feet long , as is the USB cable which measures six feet.
Finding a place for this on your desktop and being able to plug it in should pose no problems. Removing the four screws two at each end allows the end piece to come off. Turning our attention to the end piece we just removed, we find the electronics used attached to it. Noteworthy here are the two big LEDs at each end used in conjunction with the bubble acrylic along each side of the enclosure.
When reassembling, make sure these seat into the recesses in the acrylic. This circuit board is identical to the one used in the larger 5. Note the fan header in the lower right corner. The 5. Mounting the drive is very easy. Locate it against the rear end of the enclosure, and the screw holes should be lined right up.
Using a lesser hard drive such as this older Western Digital would be an excellent choice for an application like this enclosure. Using a higher end drive would certainly raise the scores across the board, but also likely widen the margin between external and internal as well.
Being able to take your data with you on the go is becoming more and more a necessity than a luxury these days. This enclosure makes it easy to do so, and offers good performance in the bargain. The lights are sure attention getters. The manual included is good, covering everything needed to get this product working on Win9x and Mac systems, and installation of the drive physically. Installing the drive itself is remarkably easy. All in all, this is still a very nice product.
