How To Choose A Hard Drive Enclosure

Capacity Limitations
In most external hard drives, the inbuilt controllers restrict the size of the connected memory to about 4T to 8T.
Price Vs. Quality
Looking at past HDD enclosure reviews would be appropriate other than speculating by price comparison and personal judgment.
Mobility
 it is imperative to consider how easy to handle and carry around it is. The size and shape of your hard drive cover will guide you on how easy it is to arrange and organize your HDDs; especially if you have several external hard drives.
Cooling
Choosing an enclosure with a premounted fan would be ideal. Other storage drives will only require heat sinks. Therefore, ensure that you consider your heat transfer requirements vis-à-vis the noise dissipation by your devices.
