Review: Best external enclosure I've used - I've used a variety of external drive enclosures over the years, mostly just for USB drives attached to a computer. I bought the Novus because the drive I installed in it will have to go on the road with me from time to time and I wanted the protection afforded by the silicon "sleeve". It's electronics and a drive so I will treat it accordingly. The protection is for the occasional bump it may get. First, it arrived precisely as predicted, well done desertcart. Packaging was easy to open and everything was individually wrapped. There are actually PRINTED instructions included, although they're hardly necessary. This is a very simple, but well designed enclosure. And everything fits like a well engineered and constructed product. As nearly as I can tell it is manufactured in the USA using materials from the USA. But I could not find that specifically stated even on their web site. My 8TB (purchased separately) 3.5" drive slid right in - at a slight angle to enable aligning and mating the SATA connector in the case. This was very easy. Everything fit, aligned and went together perfectly. There was a small zip lock bag containing 12 screws - 8 for mounting the drive - only 4 required. Two different types provided. And there were four black screws to secure the "sled" inside the case. It is also very nice they included a small MAGNETIZED screwdriver. This is good because they ensure users have the right SIZE and tip screwdriver and also because the tiny screws are...tiny. MUCH easier to install using the magnetized screwdriver than trying to start them by hand. I may not get out enough but I haven't seen a lot of thunderbolt connectors, although I would like to. And I don't have any. So it is great that they also provided a USB-c - to - USB-A cable for connection to my system. The one 'ding' I'll give them is the freakin' wall wart! I would very much have preferred a slightly larger enclosure with the wall wart electronics inside the case and a normal AC power cord. I thought about taking off a star in the rating for that but they're not the only ones guilty of using them! So suffice to say, it's an area that NEEDS improvement. Overall, an excellent and very well designed and manufactured product. I would buy another if I needed another external enclosure and highly recommend them to anyone who may need one.

Can I use a 16TB hard drive?** A: Yes works just fine **Q: How well does this muffle the noise from drives? And how well does it dissipate heat? Thank you.** A: Drives are fairly silent. I have two on top of each other and found that placing them on a firm foam pad insulated some bussing sound that was transferred to my desk and barely hear them now. Very solid enclosures and no issues for years and 4 drives. **Q: Can this be powered by the usb-c connection, or does it require the separate 12v power supply?** A: Hi, it can only be powered using the included 12V power adapter. Thanks! Oyen Digital Support **Q: Is this usb 3.1 gen 2? amazon listing says 3.0.** A: The box says 3.1 Gen2. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best external enclosure I've used *by D***. on 27 March 2022* I've used a variety of external drive enclosures over the years, mostly just for USB drives attached to a computer.
