    Possible USB 3 spin down issues.....beware
  

*by S***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2014*

I purchased 3 of these enclosures for my late 2012 Mac Mini Server to hold three external drives (all 3TB 3.5 inch Western Digital RED NAS drives) and overall they work well and I have used them in the past.  However, I learned that these particular enclosures have issues with USB 3 connections (firmware level) which causes the drive within them to spin down and sleep after approximately 10 minutes of in-activity.  So, if these are connected to a computer which is being utilized as a server and requires the drives within to remain active and available at all times, the constant spin down causes a temporary hang of the computer while it waits for the drive to spin up.  Also, the constant spin down and up of the drives could shorten their life.  Further testing has revealed that using a Firewire 800 connection does not exhibit the spin down condition.  So, it is a firmware defect with the USB 3 connection of the enclosure which unfortunately requires a RMA and a return to OWC for re-flashing.  Fortunately, OWC will provide the re-flashing of the enclosures at no cost to me other than having to pay to ship them back to them and loss of my time.  Hope this helps someone and good luck.

    Attractive enclosure, love the spin-down
  

*by D***T on Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2014*

I've got this hooked up to a Mac mini running 10.6.8 via FireWire 800. The enclosure spins down the drive after a period of inactivity, as well as when the computer goes to sleep or powers down. I was specifically looking for this behavior, so I think it's great.I've been using this with a WD Green 4TB drive for about a month without obvious issues.Pro: Quality metal construction; the front grill is especially attractive. Activity indicator LED is subtle. Spin-down feature works well.Con: One star off for putting an ugly sticker that says "Warranty Void If Label Removed" on the side of the case. The sticker doesn't protect anything; all it does it tempt you to void your warranty.

    Sleek, minimalistic, no interference problems  -- THIS is your must-buy for single drives
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2014*

A previous, completely different enclosure to this one was the source of a problem with a 4TB drive that seemed to stop working. This enclosure does everything it is supposed to do and is much more functional than the other one I put through its paces. The MEPro has only the room for the drive and a little space for ambient air circulation, but really, that's all you need to have. I must wonder if the drive that originally came with the previous enclosure will work when placed into one of these enclosures. Definitely will be getting another one of these for that drive in order to find the answer, and if it turns out that one was just a bad drive, then I'll just get a replacement for it.OWC likely has 2+ slot enclosures that look and function similar to this if you need a value setup for RAID, so I would keep an eye out for those should that be your need.
