Rated 5 out of 5

Well-built Storage Enclosures

This is the fourth miniStack storage item I have purchased. I got fed up with cheaper, poorly made hard drives with flimsy cable connectors. With other drives, I have experienced unexpected disconnections during data transfer. Micro B USB 3.0 -- are you kidding me? I would not trust a skinny connection like that to reliably send and receive massive amounts of valuable electronic information. Be sure never to accidentally bump your drive, or you may disconnect or damage your hardware! Data corruption, especially on a drive this size, is unacceptable. It is worth spending a little more for solid construction and many years of reliable service. Buy miniStack.
