I too confirmed with Wiebetech that the fan always spins. It is pretty quiet though.
The drive does go to sleep when the Mac is asleep. You can, of course, dismount
the drive and turn off the power when not in use.
The DriveBoxes are black plastic which I assume is the anti-static material that
allows them to call these boxes "anti-static". There isn't anything else. If you
seal a drive tightly inside an anti-static bag and put that inside the box, I guess
that would provide extra protection, though I don't know how necessary it is.
