I then installed the NEC/Renesas driver using TonyMac’s Multibeast application and verified that my USB3 card reader was recognized as a USB3 device when connected with a USB3 cable.

That’s all that is needed for movie playback, and the motherboard used has no USB3 sockets, hence the add-on card. The Mini uses a modest Core i3 Sandy Bridge CPU and an equally modest Gigabyte H67M-D2-B3 motherboard. To add USB3 capability to my HackMini I installed a two port Western Digital USB3 card in one of the short slots.
Rubber feet provide noise and vibration isolation. 
Bizarre, but irrelevant in practice, unless it’s in line of sight.
When copying files to a drive the bar aligned with the front power switch dances crazily with an LED show. #BRUJI DVDPEDIA UPDATE#
For eSATA connectivity, see the Update at the end of this piece (Hackintosh only eSata is not available on Macs).
As shipped it’s set to USB to switch to eSATA a front panel button must be held for 4 seconds. The power cable socket is at the side which makes it impossible to abut these enclosures next to one another if you have more than one. The latter roars, the Auto, which is thermostatically controlled, remains very quiet in practice. The three position fan switch has Auto, Low and High settings. The box is compact, some 9″ deep x 6″ tall x 5″ wide. If you do not use them, drive installation needs no tools. I have found you do not have to use these. Attachable drive handles are provided to make it easier to remove drives these attach with screws and a screwdriver is provided. No big deal but side rails would have made this easier. Drives slide in and need a bit of wiggling to locate the power and SATA connectors. Once the front door is removed a two catchpress retaining plate is removed to gain drive access. This is purportedly a function which works with Windows, something I will never explore. Auto power-up must be switched off (two presses on top right front panel ‘Sync’ button) or the case shuts down with OS 10.7.4 Lion. More flashing LEDs than you can shake a stick at. Front flap opens easily and door can be removed. Very well made and well packed for transit. Having taken delivery and transferred my movies to 3Tb drives in the enclosure, here are some observations. What follows is as relevant to storing photo files as it is to video. I wrote of my intention to move all my movies from half a dozen external enclosures to one in yesterday’s piece, opting for the Mediasonic HF2-SU3S2 (Amazon – $130).
