Anyone "insecure" about the power cord connection to this box? The power cable doesn't really lock in and it is of such heavy gauge cable that it's weight puts pressure on cable at the power input jack on the box. I moved the box to relocate it a couple times and the cable just "fell" out. I'm concerned that if my wife dusts around the shelf that it's located the power cable at the box could easily be knocked out. I really don't like these "din" type power connectors.

Other then that I put a Seagate 750GIG drive in it and the MX1 is sure nice and quiet.

Yep, Ive experienced the "duster disconnect" once myself. It's about the only complaint I have about this excellent enclosure. That whole location is now a "Restricted Area." :)

I ended up connecting it to an extension cord so that I can keep the power adapter on the same shelf as the enclosure rather than allowing the adapter to hang in the air, pulling on the power cable.
