Final Thoughts
So, what did we think? The Antec MX-1 was not the easiest enclosure to assemble, so if your looking for something where you can quickly swap drives out all the time, this may not be the enclosure for you. However, the enclosure has a host of features not found in other products in it’s price range, namely active cooling. It is also whisper quiet and quite rugged in design – – three test drops from a meter high rendered no effect on the device, we didn’t even have to reseat the drive!
Overall, this is the drive of choice for someone who needs to tote around some serious storage space without the worry of damaging the drive, keeping it safe in operation and looking good at the same time. This enclosure has all the polish you need without the actual polish, meaning less time wiping it down to look pretty every time you touch it and more data-sharing action.
Pros
- Whisper Quiet operation
- Rugged Light-weight design
- Active fan cooling
- Can take a beating and still pass data!
Cons
- A little on the expensive side
- Setup procedure more complex than most
