I'm pretty happy with it; it took a while to get to me since they were out of stock for a while. The external 1 drive enclosure is servicable, but nothing really special. It looks a little like an IBM PC style case with its sloped front. But it works. Oh, and the SCSI cable isn't black; its gray. The Fujutsu is working great, but it is rather noisy compared to some other drives such as the Maxtor and Seagate/Imprimis/CDC WREN drives of the same capacity. Then again, its a bit cheaper, and our Fujutsi Eagle's (474 MB SMD drives) are still going strong after nearly 10 years. If the 2263SA runs half as long with no trouble, I'll be happy. louie
