About this product
The StorCase Technologies FireWire 400 Hard Drive-VXA-1 Tape Drive Enclosure is a black external enclosure designed to house a 3.5-inch drive. It connects to systems via a FireWire 400 interface. This unit is specifically noted as a 'Hard Drive-Tape Drive' enclosure, suggesting versatility for various 3.5-inch storage media beyond just hard drives.
Our take
This StorCase Technologies enclosure is a somewhat niche item, being a FireWire 400 solution for 3.5-inch drives, specifically mentioning tape drives as well. The black color is standard, but the high price point for a FireWire 400-only enclosure might give some pause, especially given the interface's age. If you have a legacy 3.5-inch tape drive or hard drive that absolutely needs a FireWire 400 connection, this could fit the bill. However, for most modern uses, the connectivity and price are significant drawbacks.
