Examination:

There isn't too much to say about this 2.5" SATA disk enclosure other than its unique in that it uses RFID technology to encrypt the hard drive. The Teasure TS01 enclosure isn't much larger than the size of a 2.5" disk drive. Aside from the ends, the casing is made of aluminum and the drive just slides into place. At the end of the enclosure that is removable is the internal interface for Serial ATA and its power connection. Built into this end is also the RFID sensor.

The aluminum casing is black and has a brushed finish. Printed on the enclosure is the SilverStone logo. At the end of the device is the mini USB 2.0 connector, a power connector (but not required for operation), and an LED indicator to show whether the sensor keys have been detected and the current disk activity.

The two RFID sensors are quite small and just a bit larger than a coin. Fortunately, SilverStone does include key rings for these sensors to reduce the risk of them just getting lost. The exterior of these sensors is made of a hard plastic. The carrying case is just a leather sleeve that slides over the TS01 enclosure.
