Metal Gear Box Substance (USB HD Enclosure)


Recommended Posts

well let me first start off by saying AWSOME, now i know usb 2.0 isnt as fast as internal specially when ur doing it hd wise.. but i must say this is pretty damn fast to me, i slapped a 250GB WD 8mb 7200 into it with stuff already on it (mp3) and all i had to do was go into disk management and re-active the disk and boom everything is back, installing the drive its self was a breeze connect 2 cables and screw down the top, if wanted u can secure the drive inside the enclosure but i skipped that step because the drive is snug in there ne ways. another nice/annoying (sometimes) feature is the led light its blue and light blue, well when there is activity it blinks, so its like a strobe if there alot of activity ex.. raring a file or unraring, but normal mp3 useage (what im using it for) it blinks like once every 15secs or so, u can also turn that blink feature off it you would like to, one problem however did find was the way it sits is on 4 little studs that are metal, they tend to have no grip and slide all over, but if u do like i did in the pics, a few peices of grip material will do the trick, the cost is also very decent i got it for $29.99 with 2day shipping from ebay.

so b4 the pics lets go over pros/cons

pros:

easy setup

mesh grill that allows air to cool the hd (its been running 24hrs+ now and its just a lil warn.. not as hot as it would be in the cas)

its portable!

the blue light is a nice lil feature i guess..

its metal and looks cool

cons:

the 4 metal posts it rests on (tends to slide without griping material)

the blue led blinks when activity

i would recommend this because it does support upto 300gb and ive read places saying they tried the new 400gb drive it in and it worked

i dont think they have ne more @ the 30.00 price but there are other sellers with a little more cost tho :p

yes it was 29.99 including 2day shipping from cali, and its a brushed aluminum texture, and they are also stackable, i have 3 more on the way :p

How exactly did the makers of this HDD case get the name past Konami??

"Metal Gear Box Substance" vs. "Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance"

I can't be the only one who's made this connection...Hell, even the fonts are nearly identical.

    • RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought are free on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers can now jump in and grab two more games to keep this week, as the Epic Games Store's ever-present giveaway promotion has just gone through another refresh. Replacing last week's Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat offers, the store has brought in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought to keep. From the duo, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3: Complete Edition is an enhanced version of the classic title that was originally released in 2004. It comes with enhancements such as widescreen and 1080p resolution support, as well as increased compatibility with modern PC hardware. It also comes bundled with all the extra content from the Soaked! and Wild! expansion packs. "Control park finances, shops, services and staff to succeed in dozens of scenarios," reads the description. "Become a true tycoon and embark on your promising new career, or create your ideal park without money woes in sandbox mode. Satisfy your guests’ needs and keep your park running smoothly to succeed." If management is not your style, Voidwrought lands as a 2D action-platformer featuring hand-drawn cosmic horrors. The title touts tight platforming and close‑quarters combat, all brought together with a strong emphasis on mobility. "Descend below the star-scorched surface and explore the multidimensional depths below," says the studio Powersnake about the game. "Witness the corrupted revelry of the Court, lose yourself in the icy tunnels of the Old Waters, and discover the grim fate of the Abandoned Expedition." The RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take their place on the same day as always. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.

    • If you look at the account logs more than likely it will be showing that the request is coming from Valley Nebraska. we have been seeing thousands of these the last day or so.
