Customer Reviews
We'd been pummeled by snowstorms when I ordered this, and I didn't expect to receive it for a few weeks because even our mail has been impacted. It arrived in days, and it's exactly what I needed. That's been my consistent experience with OWC.
I would recommend this product to a friend!
- Reviewer:abrojos

It's fantastic to know that we could deliver exactly what you needed when you needed it. Your consistent positive experience with OWC means the world to us. We're dedicated to providing excellent service, and your feedback inspires us to keep it up! Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions, comments, or concerns. https://eshop.macsales.com/Service/
I've done a lot of business with MacSales over the years. This purchase was to replace a docking station I had bought that CLAIMED to be Mac Compatible, but that turned out to be untrue. With this one, I have had ZERO issues. The other one would either freeze up or freeze the whole system as soon as the drive went to sleep; this one has been running for weeks now uninterrupted. And of course, the quick service from MacSales is one of the things that keeps me coming back. I'll look forward to doing business again.
I would recommend this product to a friend!
