Last year we reviewed the SilverStone Treasure TS01, which was a 2.5-inch hard drive enclosure but what had made it unique was its use of two RFID keys, which unless in the close vicinity to the device, would impair the hard disk drive from functioning. This was a nice security buffer, but SilverStone has been at it again refining their products and seeing what else they are able to achieve. As part of their Raven series, which includes products like the unique RVM01B mouse and beautiful Raven RV01 chassis, there is now the Raven RVS01. The RVS01 does not have any RFID tags or any advanced security measures, but it does offer eSATA connectivity.

Features:

- Elegant design with faux leather and plastic
- 2.5" Serial ATA Hard Drive Compatibility
- eSATA and USB 2.0 Interfaces
- Supports up to 1TB Hard Drives
- 81.5 x 24 x 145 mm Dimensions

The SilverStone RVS01 arrived in a package that was mostly black and most prominently advertised about the SATA disk enclosure is that it is lightweight and easy to carry, even though that is a feature of most 2.5-inch enclosures on the market. Along with the actual disk enclosure itself was a Serial ATA data cable, a USB cable that provides a mini USB connector along with a +5V DC power connector and requires two USB 2.0 ports on the host PC, and then a RVS01 user's manual. Also included is a small carrying case for the 2.5-inch drive enclosure.
