Testing Setup:

CPU: Q6600
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3
Memory: 2 x 2GB Kingston
OS: Windows XP Home SP3
Video Card: ATI Radeon EAH 4550

Power Supply: 550 W PSU
Case: NZXT Tempest

Testing:

To Test the In-Win ‘NA I will be using our standard tests. I will be using HD Tune to do a benchmark of its USB and e SATA capabilities, and then I will be timing the upload speeds of a 10MB, 100MB, and a 500MB file. For this test I will be putting it against my CoolMax Leather Enclosure. Let’s begin.

HD Tune (USB)

Enclosure	In-Win ‘NA	CoolMax Leather
Ave MB/sec	33.3	32.7
Time	15.9 ms	15.3 ms
Burst Rate	25.1 MB/sec	27.8 MB/sec
CPU Usage	4.3%	3.6%

HD Tune (e SATA)

Enclosure	In-Win ‘NA	CoolMax Leather
Ave MB/sec	102.5	97.8
Time	15.3 ms	15.3 ms
Burst Rate	200 MB/sec	196.3 MB/sec
CPU Usage	1.6%	2.0

Transfer Times (USB)

Enclosure	In-Win ‘NA	CoolMax Leather
10 MB	1	1
100 MB	4	5
500 MB	17	19

Times (e SATA)

Enclosure	In-Win ‘NA	CoolMax Leather
10 MB	0.5	0.5
100 MB	1	1
500 MB	5	8

So from this we can see that the In-Win ‘NA is a really good enclosure. Using its e SATA function it outperformed the CoolMax enclosure which was our past burst rate leader but the In-Win ‘NA out performed it by delivering an even higher burst rate of 200MB/sec.

Now let’s get to my final thoughts:
