Product on Review: In Win AMMO External 2.5 Hard Drive Enclosure
Manufacturer and Sponsor: In Win
MSRP: $40 USD or £29
Street Price: $29.99-39.99 USD
The purpose of an external hard drive enclosure is fairly simple: to make a hard drive conveniently accessible from outside the computer case and to make it portable. This relatively straight-forward recipe forces manufacturers to make innovations if they want to have an edge in the market. In terms of performance, most hard drive enclosures are similar given the bottleneck caused the USB 2.0 interface. The eSATA interface has given the opportunity for manufacturers to optimize the performance of their external SATA hard drive enclosures. Nevertheless, eSATA connectors do not supply power at the moment and are not ideal for portability ends.
Performance is not the always the main feature that will set an external 2.5 hard drive enclosure apart from the rest. In fact, features such as durability, aesthetics, quality and security are more likely to attract consumers. In Win seeks to tap into these features with their newest military-themed enclosure, the AMMO. Whether they are successful in doing so or not will be determined in this review.
