Introduction

Whenever I think/hear of the name ‘Silverstone’ I think of an extreme aluminium fetish. Far from being a bad thing, every product that they make has a fair percentage of the ultra light metal in it.

Specs

The Silverstone MS04 is a versatile 3.5” hard drive enclosure with excellent thermal and functional properties. It has both USB 2.0 (backwards compatible with USB 1.0) and Firewire (IEEE1394) connections for wide range of applications. With its unique two Firewire ports, it is possible to daisy-chain the MS04 for more storage options or simply to retain a free Firewire port in the system. Built from exquisitely crafted all aluminium and finely brushed, the MS04 has a finish that matches the best hi-fi components in the world. Its enclosure is not only beautiful, but also designed to accommodate hi-end IDE drives with abundant cooling. To complete the package, a vertical stand is also included to create a mobile storage solution that is both practical to place anywhere and stylish!
