It won't stop a bullet or block a car wheel, but it's plenty rugged enough for normal data transfers. 5

I have seceral enclosures from OWC and they all work great. This is no exception. I love it. Small but sturdy. 5

Let me start with a disclaimer, I'm not a power user or all that tech savvy for that matter. I have owned a few OWC items over the years and never had an issue with quality or performance. I tend to try to squeeze as much life as possible out of my equipment and hope to do the same with this enclosure. So far so good. Nice looking unit and easy set-up, working as it should. Would recommend. As an added note, B&H shipping was quick and well packed. 5

These have always worked well for me. Probably have like 5 now. I am a big fan of OWC so I am glad they make enclosures like this so I can repurpose my old iMac SSDs. 5
