> 3 dayMy WD drive died, no power, no warning. 7 year old drive and out of warranty. Bought the OWC case and transferred the drive, very simple and easy to do. Plugged it in and had my data back; backed all of the files.

> 3 dayMy drive has been inside my Mac Pro for three years without a single issue. I wanted to make it an external drive. Began a large transfer of 1.5 TB. The transfer took nearly a day over USB 3 and failed near the end. My data was gone and MacOS was no longer able to read the disk. I know that MacOS has historically been a destroyer of hard drives. From 10.3 Panther onward, MacOS has destroyed over 14 hard drives of mine. So I cant tell if this is a Unix thing or an OWC thing.

> 3 dayThis enclosure will corrupt your data. Read the other reviews(I really should have listened to those ones) this is not an uncommon problem.

Greater than one weekI like that this works like my Apple AirPort Extreme Time Capsule with the Time Machine software . It was very easy to set up and install. I now feel secure in knowing my data is backed up daily without fail. For those of us with less Computer skills (Moderate) it was great to find something easy to work with. Also looks good visually with my iMac.

> 3 dayI use the drive for backup on my home system. The disk is quiet, works well and I really like the looks. It also has a bright blue activity light which I also like. The real stand out so far has been OWC product support. For me they were on point, friendly and FAST. I recommend them.

> 3 dayBeautiful enclosure but very expensive for what you get Pros: - all metal design - well designed - aesthetically pleasing Cons: - very expensive for what it is - not as fast as it is claimed, tested with 6gbs rated drives - tested with different cables, - worth upgrading to a higher quality usb
