    OWC DIY Bundle:

    1.0TB 2.5" Toshiba 5400RPM 9.5mm HD OWC Mercury On-The-Go Pro Quad Kit,
    OWC 5 Piece Toolkit & Software Bundle

    Mac / PC / USB 3.0 & 2.0 / FireWire 800 (FireWire 400 Backwards Compatible)
    The drive and tools you need to upgrade/replace the existing 2.5" drive in your laptop, Mac mini, Xbox, PS3, etc and make the drive being replaced an external storage solution.

    Everything you need in one package, immediately ready to assemble and:
    • Backup and store your data with style and confidence.
    • Take your data with you - small enough to keep in a pocket!
    • Easily add additional laptop storage with no AC adapter required.
    Examples of how this bus-powered On-The-Go
    bundle can be used in real world situations:

    Power Users / Travelers: Relocate your "home folder" to your Express and have your files with you at home, at work or on the road without the need to synchronize your machines.

    Laptop Owners: Clone your current internal SATA hard drive in your laptop to the new drive. Then install the new, larger drive in your laptop and keep the smaller drive in your Express for additional storage space.

    iTunes Aficionados: Keep a copy of your iTunes library on your external drive to play on multiple machines.

    Gamers: Add additional storage to your XBox 360 or PS3 game console to store music, media, and other downloads. PS3 even includes a backup utility to protect your internal drive's data.

    For Everyone: Have the peace of mind of a complete backup plan. Create a bootable clone of your hard drive at regular intervals so if your computer goes down, your productivity doesn't go down with it. Boot to another computer and keep on working!

    Rating: 5/5 When replacing laptop drives, always consider a bundle like this March 16, 2017 My 500GB SSD drive (which I purchased from Other World) filled up and I needed more internal room in the laptop. I went with a hybrid drive to economize as SSDs still get very expensive above 500GB. The 1TB drive is fast and I see no change in doing most tasks or programs. There certainly is a change with boot times on start-up with the 1tb taking a few minutes to fully boot where the SSD was ready under a minute. Oh well, but with the enclosure I now have a really zippy 500GB external drive and that's nice.

    Rating: 4/5 More storage + Enclosure August 22, 2014 Mercury on the Go Enclosure is great, nice design, cool looking. Only issue is the bottom part gets really hot when transfering a large files back and forth, put my stock apple HD in there.

    HGST 1.5gb hdd, wow perfect for my media files and documents, Time Machine backup, and mutiple virtual machines for development.

    -1 star for not including the software bundle and made me email them, but the support team always there for your concerns and they give me the link to download the bundle.

    Rating: 5/5 Works great and was easy to install May 29, 2014 Once I verified which drive I needed to order for my MacBookPro version, the rest of the process was easy. My order arrived quickly and the toolkit made replacing the hard drive very easy.

    Rating: 4/5 Great - but September 22, 2013 The kit is just what I wanted to upgrade my Late 2011 17" MacBook Pro. There were two problems. First, the software was not included with the kit. There was a slip of paper that said the software was pre installed on the new drive, but the new drive was unformatted, no software. It took some communications with support, but I finally was able to download it, after three days. The second problem was the torx driver supplied with the kit did not fit the mounting studs in my factory drive. Fortunately I had s torx driver that was almost the correct size, good enough, by very little, to get the studs out of the old and into the new. Overall, the drive gave me an extra 750 GB in my MBP. I only had 80GB left on the factory drive before the upgrade. This review is being prepared with new drive in operation.

    Rating: 5/5 Excellent product idea; excellent result June 25, 2011 This was a great way to upgrade the internal drive in my MacBook Pro, and end up with another excellent FW/USB portable external drive using my previous drive. Worked out very well. I mainly want to complement OWC on their excellent service to me over the years, there very searchable and well-organized website, and their useful and adaptable product line.
