Strengths:
Inexpensive and easy to use
Weaknesses:
USB port not durable... intermittent connectivity after a while
Additional Comments:
I have several of these cases, with the oldest one about 2 years old. The old ones are developing connectivity problems on the case-side of the USB port, so that you have to lift or jiggle the cable to get connection, and will disconnect if bumped. The problem is case-side since it persists with different cables.

Strengths:
Small, sleek, nice looking aluminum USB3
Weaknesses:
I had 2 of these enclosures with a 256GB SSD inside, the first one died after only a few uses, luckily within the 14 day return preiod though, unfortunately the return period is not extended when you echange, so when the other one died as well after only a few hours use a few days after day, i was left with some dumpster decoration... great price point if the thing actually lasted more than a few days.
Additional Comments:
Do not buy it, you'll just end up returning or tossing it out.

Strengths:
Nice form factor
USB 3.0 standard
Cord included
Great build
Weaknesses:
None
Additional Comments:
What a great product at an excellent price. The fact that it can hold up to 1.5 TB and that it's vented etc and also tweaked for SSD drives is fantastic. Good price point. Very easy for assembly even for anyone not confident with a screw driver. I'll be back to buy a couple of more - excellent product.

Maybe the bright blue activity light for some that leave it plugged in over night in their bedroom?
but it doesn't bother me
