DataTec DS350 eSATA hard drive enclosure reviewed @PCStats

DataTec DS350 is an external enclosure to connect an Hard DisK Drive (HDD) through the eSATA port.

According to the review published at PCStats, a drawback of this enclosure is that it has the eSATA connector only, whereas other similar enclosures have an USB2 or a Firewire port too. Even if compared to USB2 the eSATA interface allows a faster data transfer speed, not all mainboards have an eSATA port.

Another thing not found in this enclosure is a cooling fan, and the aluminum case becomes a little warm when touched with fingers.

No info can be found about the connection speed, because, as stated in the review:

"We're not going to benchmark a SATA hard drive in the DataTec DS350 because serial ATA devices like this do not have any significant impact on data transfer speeds."
