Tech / Need recommendations for external HD & enclosure

My only recommendation is that IF you buy drive & enclosure separately, BE SURE they are compatible. By that I mean that some enclosures will work with drives upto 1tb but not beyond an some will only work with drives above 1tb. (Expensive personal experience w(OWC). Buying complete enclosure/drive puts that situation out of your hands and back on the seller... Has to do with chip set internal to case.
YMMV....

I would totally agree. I just bought (2) 4TB drives and none of them are seen as such in my OWC Mercury Elite AL Pro enclosure. I’m speaking with support at OWC and they’re hinting my chipset May be the older one and won’t allow me to see 4TB. All I can see is 2TB. Bummer. At least I have a USB HD caddy that is able to work with one of the drives.
