Eagle Tech Consus M-Series ET-CSMSU2-BK Hard Drive Enclosure Review

Contents & Packaging

The packaging, as with the T-series enclosure, is clad in vibrant orange which certainly catches the eye. A large image of the M-Series enclosure occupies the right hand side with the features bullet pointed on the left along with some orange badges at the bottom emphasising some of the more important details such as lifetime tech support and tool-less installation.

The back is home to a multitude of information. The F.I.T. (Fast Installation Technology) is outlined in the centre complete with some explanatory images. A short blurb and the specifications are also present and last but not least, the correct model has a black sticker next to it – the bad news is this particular model will only support a USB 2.0 connection and not eSATA.

A number of accessories accompany the main enclosure:

• Power supply
• USB cable
• Installation manual
• Resource CD
• Key (to open the enclosure)

The resource CD not only contains a step-by-step tutorial on setting up the product but also a Disk Doctor’s Data Recovery demo and avast! Antivirus Home Edition – so you do get a few added extras with your purchase to sweeten the deal.

Powering the M-series enclosure is a small power supply with a US mains plug; therefore for use in the UK an adapter will be needed but the input voltages (110-240) are such that a transformer isn’t required.
