Ryan has really impressed me with their build quality and thought process. From the packaging on, quality of build really expresses itself. The 1.8mm thick aluminum creates a great cooling side affect along with a durability that can only come from a thick metal. The ability to connect both SATA and IDE drives is not uncommon in the market place, but having both of these features along with the options for using USB and eSATA for data transfer is awesome. The TFX backs up these interface options with awesome speeds. Customer service was great and timely when replacing parts. A.C. Ryan has produced a top notch enclosure here. I would have liked to have seen a bit less tension when installing a drive as I don't feel comfortable putting my body weight down just to make the drive fit. Other than that, this enclosure is a KICKASS product. Our thanks to A.C. Ryan for providing this enclosure for review and their support of 3dGameMan.com!
