Rated 4 out of 5

Great enclosure!!!

I have a bunch of these enclosures and they're great. Easy to install a drive into and very durable and well made. I'm a big fan of OWC products. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I wish the USB port felt more solid with a cable plugged into it. I haven't had any problems with the port, however. Also, I've had more than one cable (included) go bad. I would get an error saying that I didn't eject the drive properly. I switched to a different cable and have had no issues. I will definitely be buying more of these as needed.
