QUOTE(SSJBen @ Sep 25 2010, 02:58 PM) Get the Hornettek Goliath USB 3. Slightmore expensive than the ESATA one. I'm using it and its awesome. I accidentally left my external HDD on for 2 days without realizing as I wasn't home (meaning no ceiling fan on, no aircond on too), came back and checked the temps was only at 36c. Samsung 2TB F3EG in it. i believe it's on idle.. and remain low temp.. will try looking for one.. where it's available? around how much?

I live in a rather hot area, when it shines... the sun really, really, gets hot. You can find it in LYP. The last time I bought it, it was around RM179. Got it from Viewnet Hyperstore.

I think Fariz was referring to F4, F4EG on the other hand is 3 platter for 2TB, isn't that great?

I hosted F3 on top of F4 and F4 is facing casing fan. I could be due to the hard disk F4 is located at below F4. That would be spread some heat to the F4 HDD.
Generally, I am satisfied with F4 too.
