OWC 1TB Express USB 3.0 Portable Storage

Everything works good

Did not come with Carrying sleeve as advertized. different model of enclosre than listed.

Ive always had positive things to say about OWC products and have used these cases in the past. I wanted the black color to differentiate some another external drive with the same case in silver. Whenever I upgrade a laptop hard drive, I get a case to repurpose the old drive.

Simple and sleek. Just need a Phillips head screwdriver.

i have been using OWC products for 10+ years and have always been satisfied with their products.

It’s a simple thing to place the SSD drive ito the enclosure and close it up and it functions efficiently. Being plastic, it’s more lightweight but could also be damaged ore easily if dropped so a bit ore care needs to be kept in mind. It’s also well priced so there’s no complaint about that.

A quality enclosure for SSD (drives.) well designed and priced right

Im a fan of OCW products and this works as intended, but not as well made as the more costly OWC Mercury On-The-Go cases. Placed an unused, spare Samsung 830 series SSD in this case. Two screws secure the mechanism to the case - two additional screws seal the case shut. Works for my intended purpose, but next time Ill buy another Mercury On-The-Go.Appreciate the included USB 3.0 cable,

Ive been using these enclosures on and off since USB2. Now have 4 of them, probably gave away another 4. Also have 4 other drives, all aluminum, all cost more than double what the Express costs. Heres what you get for half the price: Plastic instead of aluminum. Far better connectors, easier to plug into, grip well, take the entire connector, not just the first third. 4 screws. Yes, screws. Screws that hold drives in place. Screws that hold the upper and lower halves in place. A decent pc board with the connector firmly mounted. Intelligent cooling. I run SSDs in them you can fry an egg on when Im doing heavy write runs. The enclosures remain cooler than Id ever expect. No signs of stress cracks. If youre looking for a cost effective 2.5 enclosure, these should be high on your list.

always happy with OWC stuff, reliable
