why so the drive logic cases stink so bad ?

Mine had no unpleasant smell. Yours may have come in contact with a wandering ill smell during packing and/or shipping.

Mine is not working properly. when I save files over 128GB. The files disappear and I have only empty folders even though the drive shows that the space is being used. It is a waste of money.

I don't plan on transporting my drive anywhere, so I haven't tried using any cases with it. However based on the descriptions the case you mentioned was designed to fit a drive slightly smaller than the 2TB WD drive you are using. So I would say that you may want to keep looking.

You cant, the drive is a cheap scam. The chip in it tells your computer it has 256gb of storage but in reality it probably has less than 1gb. This scam is successful because most people wont return this and just figure it a loss.

Hope this helps. Why I bought the hard drive case is as follows..... My notebook motherboard crapped out/not worth repairing. The 500G Hard drive was OK. Staples wanted to charge me $70 to transfer the files from old drive to new PC. So, with the 2.5 HD case I not only was able to download my files but now have a backup drive as well.

Well I used to know, and was disappointed with the speed (less than like 40mbps read or write which is pretty bad for USB 3.0), but then the aluminum case was crushed by me simply sitting on it on a padded chair.... Would not recommend.

Ryan: I am very interested in finding a case, possibly one with a slot load drive. I read you mentioned a case you found but where's the picture of the case? I would love to see it if you could please provide me a link or photo. Thanks so much. -cindy

I used this on my Mac and it corrupted two of my drives. I sent it back for an exchange due to a problem with the power supply. Vantec was less than helpful with the corrupted drives. My hard drives worked when I pulled them out of the computer but after using their faulty enclosure it was corrupted, somehow they claim there's no way to tell their enclosure caused the damage. I would never put my hard drives into another Vantec enclosure.

I have had nothing but bad luck with LaCie drives, I have had two of them not function out of the box. My experience is the exact opposite with the G Drive, these drives are quiet, and seem to run forever. I have not had a single issue with any one of the seven I own

The box has built in drive bays, not individual drive boxes. The drives just press in.

Yes, I have had similar issues with other external, enclosed USB hard drives. That is, they get VERY hot, and then shut down after about 30 minutes of operation. These enclosed drives are pretty much useless unless they have a vent and cooling fan. I really don't know how anyone uses them successfully. The only way I have been able to use them is to keep them completely open, which means removing all the casing and just laying the bare drive and it's connenctors out in open. Pretty ugly, but it will run all day like this :-)

Mr. Keh, it shows extraordinarily poor business sense to blame your customers for the poor systemic performance of your product. I cannot imagine how poorly designed your hardware and software must be in order to cause such a catastrophic problem so easily, and I cannot imagine the hubris of telling someone that they must reformat their computer hard drive to recover their GPS and calling this "good news." I have determined now that I want no part of a product that blames it's users first for what is so obviously a systemic weakness of design.

I have two 4TB drives of different models. I'm running Windows 8, and I occassionally have to run "chkdsk /f y:" due to corrupted disks. I have 2 3TB drives that don't have this issue.

There is only one 2.5 drive bay located in the upper part of the hdd bays. There is another at the floor of the case but it will need 4 screws. Its a good starter case for small to medium size components. There are better cases than this for close to the price. Look into the corsair, nzxt and cooler master cases. They have more room and features.

Yea it's bad...i haven't found a solution...but it gets a little better over time, other than that this is a really good case

If the hard drive is clicking, that means the disk that spins at high speed is alittle warped and scraping against the side of the case. I would advice backing up all data onto a external hard drive and contact Lenovo customer support to get a replacement hard drive, the unit has a standard 1 year factory warranty on hardware

You should email them. The Red drives that they put in these units are not 7200RPM.
