The minimalist design allows the drive enclosure to be positioned upright. It does not disrupt airflow, which improves cooling through forced convection along the vertical heatsink fins. Compared to a flat orientation, it provides greater and freer airflow on both sides.
Note: It is recommended to remove the stand by twisting the drive. Pulling it straight out may cause the enclosure to pop out of one clip, which can result in the second clip breaking.
The cable lock visible in the images is also available in my collections.
