Great product.
The rare combination of USB3.1 and FireWire800. Need to buy IEEE Firewire 9 pin to 4 pin conversion cable to work with FireWire400 port on my old computer. The transfer speed is about 5 times faster than USB2.0.

Works great with two different iMacs (FireWire 800 / USB 3)
I use this enclosure with a 2015 5K iMac in lieu with a 750GB Crucial SSD, as a boot drive over USB 3. The speed is great, about 2.5x faster than the internal 7200 rpm regular HDD (but that also depends on the SSD type, it's not even the fastest kind). I have also used it for a while with a 2010 27 iMac, also as a boot drive but over FireWire 800 (as that model only has a slower yet USB 2), and the speed gain was fascinating, there was no need to...

Excellent external 2.5 inch drive case
I have purchased several of these cases as I've upgraded internal drives in laptops. Purchased this case at the same time as Crucial M550 1 TB SSD from B&H. Case is excellent, and easy to install drives. Case is bus powered, either with Firewire or USB. Excellent quality product, comes with USB and Firewire cables as well as soft case. Nice compact design. While there are less expensive cases that are USB only, it was worth it to me to pay more t... Show More

Nice Case
Just installed my drive and went to work. Use for a testing unit to startup other computers and run test utilities.

Exactly what I needed
Using the enclosure for external drive on MacBook Pro 13 unibody. Wanted the Firewire 800 speed for an external bootable drive. Found it best to follow instructions of NOT screwing the hard drive down to the heat sink(even though there were enough screws in the package to do so). As it turned out two of the drives I was using were bad so it was easy to just open the end-cap and slide the I/O board with hard drive out to replace then slide it back... Show More

Relatively large and heavy but reliable
Good product, does its job as advertised. Slightly pricey in my opinion. Then again it is a pretty versatile enclosure and this interface layout isn't very popular (but responds best to my needs). Firewire 800 is the fastest port on my old Macbook and 2 ports on the enclosure allow me to daisychain multiple drives. USB 3.0 for universal connectivity and keeping up with higher transfer rates. I'm satisfied with the interface board: Good transfer s... Show More

Great Repurposing of your old HD
The OWC HD enclosure is a fantastic product, great construction, also works from your computer's bus, and no drivers needed.. Great for an alternate boot device for repairs or maintenance. Only real complaint is that the device can get a bit hot after hours of use.
