I’m not exactly how you can go right or wrong with a product like this. It’s an external case for a SATA disk. It looks pretty cool, the lights and the case are nice. I believe it support external SATA but I use the USB.
I haven’t had any issues with the drive getting overly hot and malfunctioning or anything along those lines.

Pro:
Slim, form-fitting, looks nice without being too flashy/ugly. Has eSATA output.
Con:
It’s kind of expensive for a simple enclosure. The drilled screw holes that secure the faceplate to the body is drilled off-axis. They didn’t align the drill correctly, and the drilled screw hole is crooked. Too much hassle to return it, and the screw still fits in there (though it’s really really tight to take the screw in and out), but it’s just too bad they couldn’t do something as simple of drilling a screw hole correctly.
I have another enclosure made by AnyWare, which is cheaper than this and looks exactly like this vantech one except for the face plate. Everything else is identical. They must get it from the same OEM. The Anyware one was cheaper.
