The drive case is easy to open with the removal of two small screws. One more photo so show off how they the different pieces of kit come together.

 

The Rosewill RS251 kit may not have some flashy paint job or a handy leather caring case, but it is built to be used. The Rosewill products are made of some tough dent and scratch resistant plastics and thicker than usual aluminum which does not flex or twist easily to provides you piece of mind when it comes transporting the case from one location to another.

 

Conclusion

I spend quite a bit of time traveling and have found the need for a portable hard drives without little pieces that can get lost or damaged, but still provide a significant amount of space. While storage capacity is a function of the particular drive used the Rosewill 2.5" drives cases fill my need for portability and cross platform connectivity very well. The additional RX251-US is a welcome addition in the office where I don't have to deal with detangling USB cables. If you already have or are looking into getting a portable drive, take a close look at what Rosewill has to offer. At an MSRP of $59.99 the Rosewill RX251-US is a cheap option
