Rating: 5/5 Large durability June 10, 2018 I bought the external power supplies which can be used with more of the Mercury and NewerTech enclosures, because this type of PSU cannot be bought here in Europe... I needed one because the external PSU for one of my +10 years old Mercury Elite Dual Bay ATA enclosures sudenly died.

Rating: 5/5 Worked Perfectly December 27, 2017 I had somehow lost the power adapter to my older Mercury Drive. I did not have much information to go on to figure out which power adapter to order. The folks on the phone ordering line were very helpful and patient. We eventually figured out the correct PA to order. The order arrived on time and worked perfectly! Great service as always!

Rating: 5/5 Excellent Customer Service November 30, 2016 Needed to replace the power source for an older OWC External Drive. The CSR was terrific in helping me find the correct power source, as the connections were also "dated". He was patient and got me through the process. The power source arrived promptly and worked perfectly. A lot easier than trying to replace the drive.

Rating: 4/5 This has been a returning problem over the years May 30, 2015 I have had to replace two to three of these power bricks over the years because of failure. The hard drives keep on working just fine the the power supply fails. My friend has also had to replace one.

I know these are old devices and I am sure that OWC is supplying newer and better quality items now.

I still trust OWC for my computer accessory products. They stand behind their warranty and they make very good products.

Rating: 5/5 Perfect Replacement November 16, 2014 My original adapter failed, and I needed an exact replacement. Fortunately, I bought the original drive/adapter from OWC, so they had the requisite adapter. The replacement fit and worked perfectly.

One issue: It was unclear from the OWC webpage whether or not I needed to purchase a 110VAC power cord, so I did. However, it turned out that 1) my original power cord could be used with the replacement adapter, and 2) the new power cord I ordered didn't fit, anyway. But, it wasn't worth the effort and postage to return it, so I kept it.

Response from MacSales.com, Marketing November 19, 2014 The page has been redesigned since you originally made your purchase to make which OWC / NewerTech drives this adapter is compatible with easier to determine as well as list out the available options for power cords which includes international cables now also. We’re always looking to improve your purchase experience with OWC. Thank you for the comment.

Rating: 4/5 Works as expected June 22, 2014 Since I'm buying this, obviously it means I'm replacing a similar product. Quality is nothing special, I can only hope this replacement last longer than the unit it replaced. Bought it from OWC to ensure its compatible and identical to the one it replaced.
