The editors liked

  • Excellent finish
  • Comparable to a £150 SilverStone case
  • Simple to fit and use
  • Great value at £20£25
  • Great performance.
  • The Silverstone MS05 is a fine 2.5” SATA drive enclosure. The aluminum body not only makes it extremely sturdy and lightweight but it also has a rather elegant appearance. The performance is also good for a 2.5” enclosure at this point of time...

The editors didn't like

  • In my opinion the docking bay should have some kind of door as it leaves a big hole in the front of your case with the MS05 removed.
  • The docking bay is disappointing. While the bay is theoretically good
  • It looks very bad when the enclosure is not attached inside. Also the enclosure does not slide inside the bay very smoothly and requires considerable force to be removed. When the ...

  • The MS05 is a VERY nice piece of kit, it has the looks, and in my opinion it is probably the best looking caddy I have seen to date. It also provides the performance, bearing in mind this IS a laptop drive running at “only” 5400rpm so whilst i...

  • The Silverstone MS05 is a good enclosure for people who want a small, mobile storage solution but a great deal of storage capacity. The end user can purchase and use any 2.5” SATA drive, from low-priced 100-120GB drives to recently released 300GB dr...

  • Excellent Performance, Very compact but solid construction, Drive bay works well, Everything needed is included, Well packaged
  • High CPU utilization with USB 2.0, Plastic front, Drive bay does not have a cover dust can enter freely, No external power supply included, Hard drive not well protected, in case of a drop
  • Silverstone has combined the advantage of a portable 2.5" based enclosure with the speed benefits of an internal hard drive. When at home, slide the MS05 into the included bay and use the fast SATA interface. If you need the unit on the road, pull it o...

  • When you cast aside all these minor niggles and worries then it’s easy to see that we’re just nit-picking at the MS05. It does everything it sets out to do, provides decent connectivity via mini-USB and eSATA ports and will physically protect your data...

  • Abstract:  Over the past several years Silverstone has branched out into product categories other than their core computer case lines. It has sold high quality Power Supplies for some time - a fitting complement to the case line. Now they are into cooling with fa...

  • Abstract:  While there isnt much to a hard drive enclosure, and the SilverStone MS05 had worked with Ubuntu Linux 7.10, the package wasnt perfect. The docking bay was a great addition to this enclosure; however, its unfortunate that there was no flap on the f...

  Published: 2007-11-13, review by: dreamwarecomputers.com

  • Well designed, Very rugged steel enclosure case, Docking feature is a great way to increase transfer speeds on the primary computer, Great performance, All necessary cables included, True ESATA connection directly to motherboard, no passthrough chips to s...
  • Difficult to insert and remove from dock when installed in case, Power connector should be on the back of the dock instead of a long cable coming off it, SATA cable shouldn't be hardwired onto the dock, Including a carring pouch would be nice (Prevent...
  • When compared to some other 2.5" enclosure docking systems I've seen, I must say that Silverstone has a very bare-minimum design to theirs. I personally wish they would have put an eject button as well as a door that would flip down over the opening o...

  • Vous l’aurez compris, le choix est large dans ce comparatif de racks 2,5 pouces. Seuls vos critères de sélection personnels pourront vous faire choisir. L’encombrement, la facilité d’utilisation, la connectique, les foncti...

  • Das externe Festplattengehäuse "MS05" von Silverstone kann bis auf die Neuerung, jetzt zusätzlich mit dem eS-ATA Interface aufwarten zu können, nur bedingt überzeugen. Das Design und die Verarbeitung weisen im Gegensatz zu den beiden Vorgängern diverse...
