Konklussion
Alt i alt kommer vi ikke særlig højt op, da der er nogle meget væsentlige huller i dette produkt.
Innovation/Teknologi kommer jeg frem til skal have et 2-tal i karakter. Dette udfra at den Eksterne SATA forbindelse slet ikke virker (gjorde den i hvert fald ikke ved mig). Selvom det lykkedes mig at finde disken en enkelt gang, hvorefter den forsvandt (hvilket jo må betyde at der er et eller andet der virker) var det hele simpelthen for besværligt. Vi lever i en Plug-n-Play tid.
Bundlet derimod fejler ingenting, og der er virkelig alt der skal bruges til denne boks. Derfor er der ikke så meget andet at sige her end 5.
Designet er selvfølgelig en smagssag, men jeg syntes godt om det. Det eneste jeg kan finde og sætte fingre på her er at siderne er meget bløde og nemt kan trykkes ind. Det trækker en smule ned hos mig, da følelsen af robusthed forsvinder. Men stadig flot design - derfor 4.
Softwaren var jeg heller ikke helt vild glad for. Designet af den fejlede ingenting, det var nemt at navigere rundt i programmet, men skulle man installere noget, blev det for teknisk. I stedet for at spørge om man ønskede at installere en driver, viste den filerne til de drivere der var, og så skulle man selv finde ud af at gøre det selv - de kunne lige så godt bare smide en CD med filer sammen med bundlet, uden nogen GUI. Derfor kun et 2-tal her.
Ydelsen var heller ikke noget at skrive hjem om. Der var en forventet nedgang ved USB tilslutningen, men den var i mine øjne for stor. Det at der slet ikke var nogen ydelse ved ekstern SATA er jo selvsagt heller ikke helt vildt godt. Derfor lander jeg på 3.
Til sidst har vi prisen. I skrivende stund står den til 380 kr., hvilket er en udmærket pris. Tager man i betragtning at SATA ikke virker, så er det en for høj pris, da det må være det overvejende grundlag for at vælge denne boks frem for andre, men prisen er i mine øjne stadig ikke urimelig.
Derfor giver jeg den et 3-tal her.
UK Summary
All in all we don't get that high with the Icy Box, as there are some essential flaws with it.
In Innovation/Technology I give it the grade 2. That given as the external SATA connection doesn't work. Even though I succeeded in finding it once, it was just too much trouble, and therefore only 2. We live in a time with Plug-n-Play
The bundle on the other hand is nice. Everything that needs to be is there, and more than that. Therefore there is not much more to say than 5.
The design is of course a matter of taste, but I like it. The only thing I can pinpoint with it, is that the sides are very soft and easily can be pressed in. that fact pulls it a bit down, as the feeling of sturdiness disappears. Still the design is nice - I land on 4.
The software I didn't fancy much either. The design of it didn't lack of anything. It was easy to navigate, but as soon as you need to install something it gets to technical. Instead of asking if one would like to install the driver, it shows up with all the files in the drivers, and you would have to install it all manually. They could just as well give a CD with the drivers and nothing else. Therefore I give it 2.
The performance was nothing to write home about either. There was an expected loss of performance on USB, but it was to big as I see it. As there not even was any performance with external SATA, then that won't pull it up either. I give it 3.
Finally we have the price, which, as this is written, lays at 380DKK. This is not an unfair price. Do you take in consideration that SATA doesn't work, then it is a high price, as the external SATA would have to be the main reason to buy this box over others, but still not an entirely unfair price. The grade 3 is given here.
