Review on Transform Your Mac Laptop: OWC Data Doubler - Optical to SATA HD Converter Bracket Solution (OWCDDAMBS0GB) by Krystal Saddler

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I highly recommend this

So I've had this mount for about a week now. I bought it mainly for Windows hard drive implementation. In the reviews, some people say that it is not possible to boot Mac drive and Windows drive due to Windows policy. That's true, but that doesn't mean there isn't a workaround. First, I kept my Mac drive in the main bay and the intended Windows drive in a "data duplicator". I started the bootcamp process and came to a window where I had to choose which partition to use for Windows. I removed all partitions from the intended drive to merge them into one partition and after clicking next I got an error message. After some frustration, I repeated the process and got the same results. Then I thought Windows wouldn't be happy if it wasn't the main drive, so why don't we just swap! So if you use Windows and Mac on different drives, switch your Mac drive to "Data Twin" and put your Windows drive in the main bay! Then everything should work correctly. I'm sure most people have figured that out by now, which is why I'm writing this review in excitement. I'm writing this review on my Mac, I used Final Cut Pro X on this site and I'm transferring huge files to this site. If anyone is looking for a second drive mount, I highly recommend this one. Every part of this mount is basically PROS as for CONS - I think the only sadness for some people is the installation. I find it very simple, so for me it is not a minus.

Pros
  • . Pleasant
Cons
  • Mostly OK, but...
