Thermaltake Max5G Hard Drive Enclosure Review


Page : 1 2 3 4 5ALL

The box that houses the Thermaltake Max5G is a continuation of just about anything from Thermaltake, black and red is the usual theme.  The front of the box gives you a good view of the product, including what Thermaltake claims to be the world’s first 3.5″ enclosure with dual 80mm silent fans.  You will also notice the USB Super Speed and SATA 3.0 compatible logos.  As you can also see there is a 3 year warranty on the Max 5G as is duly noted on the package.  The back of the box gives a run down of the specifications and a multi language list of the features.

The box sides go in to a little more detail on the available connection points as well as pictures of the outside of the chassis.

Now that we have that out of the way, let’s open this bad boy up and see what is inside shall we?  When first lifting the box top you are greeted with the warranty card and a multi language set of instructions.  There are two small white boxes enclosed in the package, one of which simply has the AC power adapter.  The other small white box has the tool needed to open the chassis for installing a drive, a blue USB 3.0 cable, and a set of foam pads that are to be used for filling the gap when you install a 3.5″ hard drive that is less than 25mm thick.  The pads will keep the slimmer drives from moving around inside the chassis as you transport the Max 5G from place to place.

The Max 5G unit itself come wrapped in plastic and is protected by two foam blocks when packed in the box.  As is the case with most Thermaltake products we have reviewed, the packaging is well thought out and ensures the product will arrive to the consumer in excellent condition.
