Summary: Not for Linux
Review: Stay away from this enclosure if you want to use it under Linux. Whereas its read speed is good (180 Mbit/s), its write speed is bad (6 Mbit/s). For comparison, when I install the hard drive directly in my desktop, the write speed is 130 Mbit/s. I asked ADS Technologies for help, but they just told me that they did not support Linux.

The fan seems cheap and became very noisy after two months.
