Generally speaking, hard drive cases do not offer more protection than another case. If you drop a hard drive while in its case, the resulting shock may displace some of the hard disk platters which will ultimately prevent the disk from being read. Additionally, a fully enclosed hard drive case is not healthy for the hard drive if the case does not provide a way for the hard drive to radiate heat. Please note that hard drives are one of the hottest (temperature wise) devices running in your computer. The friction caused by a spinning hard drive is what generates the heat in a hard drive so you must ensure that the hard drive has proper cooling available to it.

How differential protection work in a transformer?

Power flowing into a transformer must match the power flowing out (minus losses which are minimal). If this is not the case, there's something wrong. Differential protection monitors current only; Current flowing into one side of the transformer will be equal to current flowing out the other side scaled by the turns ratio of the transformer. Since the turns ratio is equivalent to the voltage ratio, this is easily set.
