I have any number of external drive enclosures, from cheap to not so cheap, and the important factor here is that you get what you pay for. And OWC has never let me down. The Mercury Series cases have stood the test of time while many others have failed. And while they aren't the cheapest in price, they aren't the most expensive either and represent very good value for money.
