"By connecting two multilane cables from my computer to the E8, I was able to write data at 500 MB/sec, and read data at even a faster rate."

David Hurd - P3 Update

"The thing I like most about the E8 is the way the drive trays lock into the drive bay. Nobody does it better."

Tom Badoud - A-VIDD Electronics

"…it's priced competitively when filled with enterprise-quality disks such as the Seagate Barracuda E5 - the EnhanceBOX PM series really is something else."

MacUser Lab - United Kingdom

"The new EnhanceBOX PM’s ultra quiet power supply and the user serviceable 80mm fan design provide users with a powerful, yet quiet SATA PM enclosure."

Arthur Whalem - AMUG Reviews
