is there a heating problem or how is the heat dissipated?

I had a heat problem, used it for 5 months. The drive had no files on it so shouldn't have run hot. I took the drive out, let it cool off, put it back in and there was no power to the enclosure. I put in two other working drives, still no power to it. I put the drive in another enclosure and it was not hot, copied 350GB of files to it and it is still not hot. Apparently the enclosure malfunctioned.

will the hard drive stop spinning when i turn the computer off? or will the hard drive continue to spin until i manually switch the enclosure "off"?

The drive in the enclosure will only spin when data is being accessed. So turning the computer off definitely stops the enclosure drive from spinning. The enclosure also has a on/off power button.

Does this support uasp?

The firmware and/or hardware must have been updated since these answers (dated July 2015). At this point in time (December 2021), the listing says UASP is supported.
