    $12 shipped for 2 or more? NOT! I added 2 to my cart and total was $37, added 20 to my cart and total was still $14.22 each. How many do you need to buy to get it to $12 each.... probably around 2000

    I ordered one a few weeks back. The enclosure works well, is completely silent, and is well ventilated all around with black mesh-like grills. However, the enclosure can only read FAT32-formated HDs, not NTFS, and does not have any sound-deadening material near the mounting points (you still have to screw the HD onto the bottom plate using the 4 enclosed screws) so if your HD is loud to begin with, some of that noise is going to be amplified when it's mounted to the metal bottom plate. Beyond that, the 8 corner thumb screws sitting prominently on the corner of the top and bottom plates are easy to access. They secure everything in place nice and neatly.

    #3 thanks for the info.

    Anyone knows why the enclosure only works with FAT32 formated HD, but not NTFS,. because of the chip set, or something else???
