The IN WIN enclosure was initially protected by a thin plastic film, no doubt to protect from scratches during transit. The IN WIN Na’s exterior can be said to be made of two parts: the lid and the enclosure itself. The lid rests nicely on top of the enclosure and it is made of porcelain. Unfortunately, the lid itself is not secured to the enclosure, but it has four rubber feet to keep if from slipping off the enclosure. Also, the lid rests slightly inside the plastic enclosure to help it from slipping off. This concept makes sense, anyway, if you think of a pot and a lid. Nevertheless, this makes the IN WIN Na a bad candidate if you are planning to move it around in the house, from computer to computer, because of the risk of the lid falling off. Then again, the device was not designed to be transported around, given its rather hefty size.
The enclosure itself is made of white plastic. At the front of the enclosure, we see a large circular power button that is fairly easy to depress to power on the device. It makes a nice click sound. Accidently bumping the button can easily turn on or turn off the device.

As it was mentioned earlier, the lid itself is not secured to the enclosure. Furthermore, because it is made of porcelain, it is fragile and can break if ever you drop it. IN WIN has therefore decided not to provide any warranty on the porcelain lid, which is unfortunate. Nevertheless, in the event the lid is broken, a new lid may be ordered through IN WIN’s customer service for a fee of USD $9. It is a modest price, but it is always better to avoid carrying the product around to minimize the risk of damaging the lid. This is not to say that the lid is very easy to break; you can always place various objects on the lid, such as your keys, pens, or anything small, without any trouble.
In order to make the lid artistic, IN WIN writes the character 納 on top of it, the meaning being “prosperity, wealth, and the spirit of generosity”. Not bad at all. Again, the bottom of lid has 4 small rubber feet.

The bottom of the IN WIN Na, as we can see, has a small vent. This vent allows the 60 mm sleeve-bearing fan built into the Na to exhaust hot air coming from the hard drive, keeping the device cool. There is also a small cover that hides the three ports of the IN WIN Na, i.e. the USB, the eSATA and the power ports. The cover is more or less needed in my opinion, as you would probably never see these ports anyway when the product is placed on your table. In fact, the cover is more of a chore than anything, as you need to remove the cover to access the ports. The unfortunate thing is that you cannot use the device without it. Indeed, the cover itself has two of the four rubber feet of the Na.
