Like a Tank

Quiet; built like a brick s**t-house *and* the "disk active" light is actually on *the front*: where it should be! Well worth the prices; OCW is top-shelf.

Turned an old hard drive from my mac into an external backup drive!

For the price this is a great enclosure. I had a left over hard drive from a Macbook upgrade. I used this enclosure to create a backup drive for my Macbook pro. Placed the spare drive in this case, plugged it into my Apple Thunderbolt monitor, used Time Machine to set up the backup schedule and it worked like a charm! I have this drive mounted out of view behind the monitor. One thing to note about this case is that it doesn't feel like a good option for people that are going to travel. The case does not have any padding or insulation from shock. Great case!!
