SilverStone DS321e

The ultra compact design of the DS321 makes this dual-bay RAID storage enclosure one of the smallest in the market, yet it still packs a punch when it comes to flexibility and performance. Installing 3.5” hard drives are quick and easy, thanks to its screw-less design. By incorporating USB 3.0 SuperSpeed technology, the DS321 is capable of delivering up to 10 times the speed of older USB connection while maintaining backward compatibility with the widely used USB 2.0 technology.

Pressing the Convenient One Touch Backup button once will automatically copy files to the selected folder. Pressing the button for more than 3 seconds will automatically turn power off, allowing the external hard drive to be removed safely without damaging the data. .

Thermaltake, the most useful benching tool I've ever used. Nothing like ending a bench session and popping the drive in there to get your scores.

This should be split into two categories, desktop and portable. I would have to go with the ADATA for portability and the Thermaltake for hotswap convenience.
