PRODUCT PICTORIAL AND WALKTHROUGH

The absence of buttons on the front means that the appearance is clean and simple. All that is on the front is an Eagle Tech logo and a large blue light to indicate power.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you're not a fan of the orange front bezel, don't worry. It pops off easily and you can replace it with another one. With the bezel off we also get a view of some ventilation holes.

To re-attach the front bezel all you have to do is line up the four pins and press down until it's in place. The additional bezel included is gray. Personally I prefer the orange one, but it's nice to have choices.

The back of the unit is also simple and well organized. There is a USB 2.0 port, power supply socket, backup button, on/off switch, and a 60mm cooling fan. The backup button is used together with software for a one-touch backup solution, and we'll go over it later on in the review.

On the bottom are four circular feet that elevate the unit slightly. They also prevent it from sliding around while it's on a desk. During testing I had no stability issues, so they do get the job done.
