OWC Mercury Elite Pro External Storage Enclosure with USB 3.2 (5Gb/s), eSATA, FireWire 800/400, Enclosure Kit

i was worried it may not be compatible on an old 2010 macbook with High Sierra 10.13.6 - it worked perfectly using the fire wire.

Quando l'ho comprato ho notato che al contrario di tanti altri utenti, era totalmente silenzioso. Contento, dunque. Solo che — cosa mai successa in più di 30 anni con tutti tipi di hard disk e di sistemi operativi — dopo soli 8 mesi l'app DriveDx ha rivelato degli errori molto seri a livello hardware. A tal punto che ho dovuto subito comprare un altro dello stesso modello (già che è praticamente impossibile comprare i LaCie col firewire, che avevo utilizzato da un paio di decenni). Attivata la garanzia, reso quello difettoso ad A. e ottenuto il rimborso. La cosa curiosa è che quello nuovo, infatti sì, fa rumore, comunque molto attenuato usando i piedini di silicone in dotazione. Adesso vediamo quanto durerà, forse tornerò a modificare le 3***.

My computer was misbehaving in very peculiar ways…I thought it was done. But rather than jump into a major replacement expense, I tried the 4 TB model. My problems were solved and my budget was protected.Wonderful drive. Highest rating.

Very disappointed. Have purchased many items from Amazon and OWC and this is the first time the box had been opened and items were missing. The hard drive had hundreds of files recorded on it. Only one was relevant - the owners manual. So, this drive was previously used and not new as indicated on the box and in the description online. The included cables were part of the reason that I purchased this drive. However, two of the three were not included. When the drive was hooked up to my Mac, a message came up indicating there was a problem with the drive.It’s obvious that someone messed up. On top of all of this, I can’t find a number anywhere to call and talk to a customer representative about this problem. Not good!

Not too expensive for fast storage. It has a bit of noise with the fan in it, but not a problem with recording with it. Seems like a solid, quality product. Recommend!
