HornetTek Defender Hard Drive Enclosure

Closer Look

As you have already seen, the HornetTek Defender comes packaged in a black and white box with just some basic specs and features listed on the outside. Inside you will find the enclosure situated in a cardboard holder along with the user manual and a small bag of extra screws.

The enclosure itself has simple low gloss black brushed aluminum covers on the front and back surrounded by a protective rubber coating around the edges.

The anti-shock rubber covers the sides of the drive and helps to protect it from moderate drops and bumps. The rubber encasing also sticks out past the metal just far enough to act as anti slip feet as well which is nice.

The USB plug wraps part of the way around and slides into a little rubber pocket on the side to keep it out of the way and to prevent scratching other devices if carried in a bag. Also on the side where the cable attaches is a small green activity LED.

Inside the enclosure we find a simple plastic casing that holds the hard drive in place as well as the SATA plug for the drive.

When inserted in the case, the drive is very snug and secure, reducing bouncing and banging around the inside in the case of a fall.

Overall the build quality seems to be pretty good. All of the pieces fit together snug and it is very easy to install and uninstall a drive from the enclosure.
