Installation:
When the flap of the RVS01 is opened you can actually tilt the connector block up to easily plug in your hard drive. The small metal arms you see up the side of the block spread apart when depressed and grab onto the first screw hole in the drive. At the opposite end of the drive small dimples in the plastic hold it snugly in the frame. So despite the drive looking like it could just flop out when opened, it's actually held in snugly.

Testing:
For testing, I will be using the following system setup:
Testing System:
CPU: Intel Core2Quad Q6600 2.4ghz @ Stock Speeds
Motherboard: Asus P5K-E WIFI-AP
Memory: 4x1gb Patriot Extreme Performance DDR2 800mhz (4-4-4-12)
System HDD: Western Digital Green Series 1TB
Benchmark HDD: Fujitsu MHY2200BH (200gb, 5400RPM)
DVD+/-RW: Pioneer DVD-R212
Video: Asus 8800GT 1GB
Sound: MOTU 8PRE Firewire Audio Interface
Power Supply: Arctic Cooling Fusion 550R
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate x64

Below are the HD Tune Pro benchmark results from my benchmarks run on both the USB and E-SATA interfaces on the enclosure.

USB Results

E-SATA Results

USB performance speed of the RVS01 was average - there's really only so much to expect from an aging device interface. The results were only decimals off from other USB enclosure benchmarks I have run with the same drive.

E-SATA performance was again fairly average with what I would expect to see. The maximum speed achieved after a few benchmarks was always a consistent 50.0mbps. This being down 2.5mbps from the Eagle M-Series enclosure I reviewed in late '09.
