Akasa has once again expanded their very diverse lineup of Integral enclosures with a very unique and well performing enclosure. The use of eSATA and USB 2.0 connectivity give you the chance to utilize the faster eSATA on your home computer while still being able to access the drive when on the road. You may want to make sure to have at two USB 2.0 ports at your disposal on your mobile, eSATA equipped warrior. Some smaller ones only have two or three, which means you may be stuck on using the embedded pointing device instead of your mouse, or worse cannot power the Integral P2NES at all. Cooling is not such a big concern with most mobile drives, but the 7200 RPM variants do produce heat, which can be felt though the P2NES. It was at no point a real concern, as desktop drives churn out more heat than the smaller 2.5 inch variants.
