Mine's fine now. Put the HDD that's going into it permanently in and it's powering up fine even after swinging the thing around while moving cables. The drive that's gone in is the same as yours Simon, the AAKS. Works fine. Very quiet when idle, though the thing makes a hell of a racket when reading. That might be down to me not having it sat flat on its feet though - it's stood on its side.

Excellent, thanks very much for that. :D
I searched for 'icybox' no wonder I couldn't find anything :rolleyes:
Noise isn't really an issue, I won't have it plugged in all the time.
 
I've got another problem with the enclosure (it's going back Monday, but I've got another on its way so I'm a bit worried).

When the thing does actually power up, it works fine for a few minutes then the disc starts clicking, the red light starts flashing and the disc is no longer mounted. The drive's fine, so I'm stumped.

Any ideas?
