The world’s largest maker of cabinets, Taiwanese In Win, have sent us their newest 2.5” hard drive enclosure for a review. With a somewhat odd design and name, the wheels are in motion for an array of tests that go beyond the usual. Sporting RFID encryption, a 0.8mm hardened steel shell and a shock-proof casing that can survive a two-meter free fall, the manufacturer has high expectations of the product’s quality.
In Win started their activities in Taiwan all the way back in 1985, and have since then been in a constant state of growth that have made them the world’s largest cabinet maker. In Win are not all that well known in this part of the world, although they did open an office in the UK about 10 years ago. This was to expand and get their products out in Europe, but the European market is highly competitive and they opted to focus on other markets.

In addition to cabinets, In Win produces power supplies and enclosures for storage units like the one we will be looking at today.


Ammo won a 2009 Red Dot Award for product design, an award which is only given to “particularly creative and innovative products of the highest quality”, as red-dot.de puts it. It is not the first time that In Win has played around with military themed products, having already made a B2 gaming cabinet and a Commander power supply.


External hard drives are growing in popularity, with 3.5” mostly catering to the home and office while 2.5” and 1.8” hard drives are more mobile. To elaborate on some of the prevailing conditions that apply, I have made a short overview of the advantages and disadvantages of the different sizes.
