Strengths: Solid metal construction, the clam shell design on it is relatively sturdy
Weaknesses: If the covers on the drive carrier become warped it will fall apart as you remove the the drive carrier from the receiver.
Summary: Although I had a serious problem with a different version of data port I give this particular drive carrier 2 thumbs up.

Whatever you do, do not ever forget to mount the drive inside the carrier firmly on the side areas where you can install screws to hold it in place.

You may have problems with cooling the drives if you are using Western Digital Raptor Hard Drives because there is no fan built into it, I haven't used this product enough yet to decide if the lack of fan is a problem.
