    Nice drives. Didn't use the enclosures as I am using these for NAS but they seem like good quality so I'll keep around maybe for smaller drives.

    The external drive was great once I figured out how to format it for a Mac. It turned out I had to map it and it worked great after that. The instructions were not very helpful.
