the power is 12V 3A made by the famous Taiwan brand APD, powerful enough to handle the surge when you turn on the HDD; the finish is very well, the chipset is JMicron JMS 567; Get it if you have a Seagate Exos 18T: the HDD can be smoothly shoehorned into the enclosure! OWC is trustworthy!

Easy to install the drive and set up. Using for Plex through a laptop. Plenty fast to support it.

Bought as a bare enclosure. Its well made and I like the look of it in person, and it sits well on the desk and feels stable and planted. Performance seems fine, and it runs quietly with a WD40EFZX in it. It comes with a universal power supply wall wart, but with a USA adapter, not an AU one. I contacted OWC - they are always very responsive - and they offered to sell me a brick style adapter, as they dont carry the international adapter plates for this PSU. Disappointing considering I bought it through amazon.au, not the US site. The screws supplied to hold the drive into the enclosure were not suitable: they have a large cylindrical head and when the drive was mounted with these the drive sled didnt fit in the housing without touching the sides, which defeats the isolation mount. I replaced them with normal drive screws and clearance was acceptable. A good enclosure, and Id buy it again, but some packaging mistakes prevent this from getting all the stars.

I bought this, expecting it would have some fairly fast, USB 3.2 transfer speeds, but was disappointed with the performance. The best it got was about 45mb/s. I mounted the same drive in another enclosure made by a different manufacturer, and it got speeds ranging from 110mb/s to 150mb/s. That tells me that this drive is no better than a 3.0 enclosure.

High quality case. If youre willing to pay a bit more to remove potential problems this is the case for you.

This drive enclosure has worked well so far. I am using it as a Mac OS G5 Time Machine. I easily installed a Seagate BarraCuda 8TB Internal Hard Drive HDD – 3.5 Inch SATA. It runs quietly and reliably.

I bought this to replace a Seagate Backup disk which has run out of space. Shockingly, the OWC drive is *incredibly* noisy by comparison. I worried there was something wrong with it, but their support said (after listening to an audio recording) the noise is normal. Dont believe the virtually silent marketing claims! Otherwise, it is slow to spin up after sleeping, but once its active the speed is ok. Overall it does the job but a bit disappointing.

I have several of these hard drives. One of my old are fire why’re 402 GB drives started having intermittent problems so I replaced it with this. That one was at least 12 years old. These last much longer than the brown plastic ones from another company. I recommend these drives. Nevertheless be sure to pack up your important data

Windows 11 recognizes this device as it is. We have two of these hdd enclosures with no problems using 4tb hard drives in them. They run cool also.
