Your Data’s Reliability is Our #1 Priority
Anyone can put a bunch of components in a housing and call it an enclosure or a drive. OWC is not just anyone. We’re a group of filmmakers, musicians, designers, content creators, and parents just like you wanting to capture and preserve that irreplaceable moment. Our data storage products go through countless hours of ongoing development testing and certification processes. We then subject them to extreme real-world abuses. The priority for some drives is to be a mass-produced, lowest price commodity. We do it differently because the reliability of your data and the longevity of an OWC product is priority #1.

This is a great little backup solution for my applications files. Took a while as my legacy computer has low-speed USB. When my current desktop computer is no longer viable, I can simply add this 1TB SSD to a new computer and I'm good to go. I like the size and form factor and the price was very reasonable. Setup was easy. The delivery was fast. I am very satisfied with my purchase.
