I love this enclosure...It's great for long periods of running... I have a couple of friends who are DJ's, Karoake, etc, and this enclosure keeps the drives perfectly cool over heavy use.

I like it for the eSata and the quality. I have bought 2 for other people and 1 for myself. Mine is so quiet I can't tell if it's on without looking at it. One of the other's is a bit louder...but I think its the drive not the enclosure.

Drive enclosure is Currently $46.99 making it $16.99 AR - 7:30 PM EST 3.18.08

It has been noted that the ZIP Code on the rebate form looks to be incorrect.

Read this thread further, and/or see this FW topic: rebatestatus Phoenix, AZ rebates with wrong zip code

According to USPS ZIP Code lookup, and a check with a CSR from the rebate center (see post from vws below), the right ZIP is 85072.

The complete address, with this correction, would then be:
Dept. # 105375
MX-1 $30 MIR
PO Box 52900
Phoenix, AZ 85072

Thanks op, might I suggest updating the title to reflect and emphasize the fact that this is a hard drive enclosure and not an external HD. This will be beneficial for search purposes.
-Fixed Thanks

Nice review of this enclosure at Silent PC Review. Ante MX-1 Review at silent pc review. In 4 1 at each address of mine.

I have three of these running simultaneously, 1 OS and 2 Data, RAID1, all eSATA.

The case's fan noise has been a hit or miss thing. Like all other fans, the fan on MX-1 does get louder if you have it left on for a long period of time. (More than a day)
I purchased this case thinking it was going to be whisper quiet, but it is far from that.
I think only one of my 3 MX-1's are as quiet as Silent PC Review claims, and the other two's fan noise gets pretty damn noticeable.

If you're thinking of buying this for a computer, don't do it for the silent aspect of it, but do it for the health of your computer in a long run. 1) PSU doesn't need to supply power to them, so your power is less strained, especially if you're using a gaming VGA. 2) The overall computer internal temperature remains lower because the intake fan doesn't have to pass by the hot HDD's. 3) Computer case would vibrate less = less noise when being read/written, which is always a good thing. 4) Obvious point, but the temperature of your HDD in MX-1 would be many, many degrees lower than if it were inside your computer case.

In 4 another 1. I have already gotten one with rebate too. Hope I have no problem with this rebate to the same address. Thanks OP.

Any problems getting the rebate at multiple addresses?

We have two of these running for a couple months now, no noisy fans and rock-solid performance.

It would b perfect it had it's own power supply. That way you only carry around the drive and use a standard PC power cord to connect wherever you go (or take a cord with you).

I've only seen one enclosure that has...
usb 2.0
eSata
fan
built-in power supply

And of course it's $100+

If you want a completely quiet one, and esata doesn't matter to you, you can get the similar Antec MX-100 at Micro Center - only $10 after rebate.

I picked up one yesterday (Monday). It was marked $39.99 on the package, but there is currently a sale going on with the up front price at $25. Rebate is for $15, which brings the price down to only 10 bucks.

I got one to use with my laptop, which is low on hard drive space, and which we use on a desk 95% of the time anyway. I'll wait for a similarly good deal on a SATA drive, then combine the two.

Oh, here's the link to the deal and the rebate form:

http://microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0276748

Supports SATA drives up to 1 TB in size
3 year warranty

after reading the forum at silentpc,
i think my mx-100 that spins down might be better, with no noise and all.
just have to decide how important eSATA is.

Nice deal. I have two of these - one in use and one still new in the box. I like this case and I'd buy again, but I really don't need it and I still haven't received my rebates for my other two mx-1's yet so I guess I'll pass... but tempting.
