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.

I had a smooth experience ordering the hard drive off the Macsales.com web site. The hard drive was on sale, packaged securely, and arrived quickly. The drive is incredibly small and yet has 2TB of storage capacity. So far, the drive is working great and transfers files without a problem. The read/write speeds are great for what I'm using it for, primarily to backup of video clips and do some light video editing. I would recommend this hard drive and purchasing from OWC.
