A Closer Look

The Luxon, in this case, is blue with silver highlighting. The other colours are black and grey, both of which have the silver highlighting. The Luxon isn’t designed to blend in but to stand out. The shiny outside gets covered with fingerprints very quickly, so the supplied cloth will come in very useful…

The Luxon is made of aluminium, which not only makes it light but it also means that heat is transferred very well from hard disc to the outside world; meaning that your data is safer and your HDD will last longer.

On the front of the Luxon, there are labels to the sockets on the side where you plug all of the cables in. The product styling has definitely been thought out well, and a lot of attention has gone into the way that the final design looks like.

To get inside the enclosure, you have to pull the inner silver piece out from the blue outer ‘envelope’. Whilst this isn’t a problem, the screeching sound of cold aluminium against cold aluminium is awful; imagine some scratching their nails down a blackboard, but much MUCH worse… :)

Once recovered from the noise, you can see that the inside is laid out well too. There is a small sticker on the base of the unit explained where you have to put the supplied jumper. This is so that the enclosure knows which type of HDD you have installed; whether it be SATA or IDE.

Vizo have kindly also supplied a stand with rubber inserts to make it possible to stand the product up.

When the Luxon is turned on, the top glows blue and when there is information being read, it flashes purple. Its a nice touch to an already good looking product.
