After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.
Please update your bookmarks and be sure to visit the new and improved Ninjalane at Hardwareasylum.com
Bytecc One Button Backup (ME-808) Enclosure Review

Interior and Assembly
Inside the ME-808 is another aluminum HDD cage with the required connections to accept any ATA HDD. One nice feature of the Backup Star is the built in cooling fan (switch controlled). The aluminum shell does a great job of transferring drive heat but really has no place to go except into the next hand that grabs the device. The fan doesn't move a lot of air but makes the enclosure appear that it's doing something.
The front panel contains a single lighted button and complimentary blue power LED, the button doubles as a hdd light when the drive is active.
The next photo shows the cooling fan and ATA HDD connections. Installing the HDD is really quite easy, just install the drive into the cage, connect the power, then push the drive onto the ATA connector and secure it in place with the 4 provided screws.
