I just looked at http://www.trimm.com/, VERY nice Web site, I like the level of detail they provide :-) The Trinketbox looks substantially similar to JMR's Chico towers, we have had bad experiences with these because when the fan goes: your drive cooks. I like a minimum of two fans. :-) I would particularly avoid things like their GiftBox (2 drives), etc. for this reason... JMR makes some nice (pricey) cases, their "Plex" family, but they are designed more for multiple drives (the scenario it seems we were discussing anyways). I've only used the HEXPLEX, but it is a very nice enclosure and is as close to ideal as any other non-RAID case I have seen. ... JG
