Good External HD Enclosure Nov 03, 2009
Overall, a good case, if a bit cumbersome and noisy. The power switch and fan are a nice touch if you need that functionality.
I bought it for use with a cable DVR, but ended up just using it attached to an Air Port Extreme Base Station (i.e., I turned it into a network attached hard drive). This works well.
Installing a hard drive is a bit of a pain, but not really a big deal. Tiny screws in plastic. Eh - you only have to do it once.
The fan, while good to have if you need it, is noisy. For my situation, it's not in an enclosed space, so I keep meaning to open up the case and unplug it. It looks like it's well enough vented that this would be fine.
I would buy it again if I needed an external enclosure.
As a side note, my overall experience with Antec is positive - they seem to make good products. I've purchased several computer cases and power supplies from them over the years.
 Not reliable Aug 02, 2009
I bought two of these, the first one failed completely (noisy fan, bad USB port), the second one has a terribly intermittent power connector. I bought it for the eSATA capability but it gets a lot of delayed write errors due to the intermittent power connector. I have had good luck with the AcomData Samba enclosures I bought for the office, I will probably junk this one and get something more reliable.

Computer Could Not See the Hard Drive Inside the Case Jun 21, 2009
I experienced the same result as S. Feld (timerider), who also rated the case with one star.
I tried two different HDD. The first was a Samsung HD103UJ, 1000GB/7200rpm/32M. The second was a Western Digital WD10EADS, 1000GB/SATA/32M, which just arrived from Amazon. I had the same results with both.
The case goes back to Amazon.
Why 750 GB? Jun 15, 2009
Everything I read about this enclosure sounds good, but I don't understand this specification: "Up to 750 GB 3.5-inch SATA hard disk drive"! One review said a 1TB drive was used. Why do the specs limit the size of drive??
 Extremely Quiet for an Active Cooling External HDD Enclosure Jun 02, 2009
I bought this enclosure not sure if I needed or wanted to spend the extra money for the cooling system provided with this enclosure. I have only had WD (Western Digital) external HDD that use passive cooling that has seem to work fine until my 320GB WD My Book Premium stop working one day. The HDD did not click or hum unusually, but would not be recognized by the computer any longer. I bought this enclosure to give my 320GB WD external HDD a new home. I gutted the 320GB My Book Premium and inserted the 320GB HDD into the Antec MX-1, voila, it recognized it instantly. The HDD spun up and has been working fine since. The Antec MX-1 is ultra quiet to use an active cooling system (fan to blow air). The external look of the drive is very pleasing aswell. The aluminum body is well made and the HDD is nicely cushioned by internal vibration damping material. I have another 320GB WD My Book that uses passive cooling (no fan for cooling) that is actually louder than the Antec MX-1 when it spins up which indicates to me that the Antec MX-1 External HDD Enclosure is very well made and utilizes the dampening material perfectly. The nice Blue LED indicator light reflects off the surface the enclosure is resting on if it is horizontal. A vertical holder comes with the enclosure if a vertical position is desired. The Antec MX-1 comes with all needed hardware even a e-sata cable is included. I highly recommend this item to anyone that needs a enclosure.
