REVIEWSBy: wordkeit
I
bought this enclosure for the old hard drive from my MacBook. My
biggest reasons for purchasing this particular enclosure were its
simplicity to install the drive and use it, and for its durability with
the aluminum wrap-around shell. The product has not disappointed.

ALWAYS delivers the goods, even before the ETA. This is a really good
product. I have several laptop/notebook hard drives laying around, so I
have actually ordered a couple of these enclosures, and they are SPOT
ON. Takes longer to open the boxes than it does to install the drives.
Very sturdy enclosure.
