Ultra fast and portable
Very pleased with this bus powered enclosure. Quick and easy to pop in a SSD. I keep it attached to my Mac Mini but am confident I could take it with me in a pack or coat pocket. Feels well made and never gets overly hot. Bought to replace an older spinning drive and glad I did. Well worth the price. OWC offers a great selection and easy to use online shopping experience.
I would recommend this product to a friend!
