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.By: Darrell
Startech 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.
