The Tacens Vectrix Aluminum external box offers quality, reliability and great features. Its solid solid aluminum body gives durability, dissipation and protection. Its electronics are very effective, and to check its performance we have used the Samsung Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ hard drive obtaining fast and stable results (Although we believe that these tests are rather testimonial). Its screwless installation system is excellent, and in less than two minutes we have the hard disk mounted and working. We would have liked the box to come with backup software and USB 3.0 support.

To finish the box you can find it for just € 20. It has everything you could ask for in a box.
