  Nice enclosure October 6, 2008 Using this enclosure with a Seagate DB35 series drive for Tivo expansion. So far both are working great. Only very minor complaint is that the LED is very bright and lights up 1/2 my room with a blue tint.
  Antec MX-1 e-SATA Hard Drive Enclosure October 5, 2008 This Antec product works as advertised. I installed a 160GB SATA hard drive, made the connection and it runs quiet and cool. It's just what I would expect from Antec.
  Excellent, affordable enclosure September 17, 2008 This SATA enclosure runs very quiet and cool. It takes USB or e-SATA and if very fast on the e-SATA. I have Vista installed on a HDD inside this enclosure and it runs without a hitch.
I don't notice any slowdown between e-SATA and the internal SATA, although I've read this can depend on the quality of your motherboard (for e-sata in general, not for this specific device) and whether it can properly time e-sata to play friendly with sata. If your board comes with e-sata ports or brackets, you are good to go. If it doesn't you should make sure it will before spending money on e-sata. This is still a great USB enclosure, but USB is a lot slower interface and will limit you to using drives as storage basically.
If you're looking for a good enclosure, this one definitely delivers. It's sleek, good looking, quiet, cool, and most importantly reliable.
  best available for the price September 14, 2008 This is the only answer I have found for the expansion of an HDDvr with Directv.
  Works well with DirecTV HDDVR September 10, 2008 I installed a Seagate 1 TB drive into this and use it as a larger hard drive for my DirecTV HDDVR. After one month, I have had no problems.
