Metal case helps with heat dissipation. Power/usb connectors feel sturdy, durable.

Even if the hard drive is bootable, you can't boot from it. Trying to reach this device in disk management has been an impossibility.

    While it works very well for its intended purpose the plastic back plate that screws in is very fragile
