    Good review; as I was reading through the intro, I found myself thinking "hmm, what he should really do is compare the same drive in the enclosure on USB 2.0 and USB 3.0"... Looks like great minds think alike.

    One thing I would really like to see is a USB3 connected SSD. The biggest problem (imo) with USB2 for mass storage is the inability to maintain high sustained read/write speeds; USB3 was supposed to fix that, but with platter HDDs, the difference isn't all that apparent.
