    Where are the air vents and cooling fan? I've lost count of the external drives I've seen go belly-up because of overheating, including two of my own. If you get one, be sure to run a HDD temp-monitoring utility and PAY ATTENTION to it. Also remember that S.M.A.R.T. Data CANNOT BE read via USB.

    @PanhandleJoe: I'm guessing the massive aluminum surface area acts as a heatsync.

    I feel like that form factor would be much much better in a 2.5" drive
