Packaging:
While most Icy Dock drive enclosures that we have reviewed were packaged in cardboard, this one came in a clear plastic box. This enables the user to see the actual drive, not a picture representing it. There is a cardboard box inside the plastic box which houses the enclosure's accessories, and along the edge of the box there is a little information about the features of the enclosure.
