The aluminum shell is going to protect these from more drops than a plastic casing and these drives look the part of a high quality Mac setup. You can feel the quality in these drive enclosures. вЂ¦not that there is anything wrong with that. The speed tests on these guys (see results below) was pretty average for 2.5-inch Firewire hard drives at just under 80MB/sec read, making the slight premium Western Digital is asking for these mostly вЂњan aesthetic upgradeвЂќ. They are encased in an all-aluminum shell, the My Passport Studio comes with two FireWire 800 ports as well as a Mini USB port around back the latter only has a Mini USB port.
