I got this when it was on sale last time for $85. Absolutely beast of an enclosure. Been going strong as my main drive for my Mac mini for almost 6 months with no hiccups. I'm tempted to get another for my 4K blu-ray rips.

Owc is great for macos. But no external enclosure runs reliable on macos 24 x 7 read write.
What are you talking about? My device has been running 24/7 on macOS for approximately six months without any issues. I haven't experienced any disconnections.
ive read this like 3 times and I still have a hard time understanding
Some people believe Mac has bad I/O. They kinda forget Apple even before Steve Jobs came back fixed that. It was only cheap models from 1994-1997 really that had I/O issues.
Early FireWire and USB drives also got their limits pushed on Mac but that wasn't Apple's fault.
Apple co-developed Thunderbolt and USB-C, which led to USB4 merging both.

You shouldn't be using an external usb/tb drive if you're doing reads/writes 24/7
You shouldn't proclaim anything without explaining why. We don't hold you as the authority in all things tech. This is like a crazy guy yelling at the corner.

"Main drive" as in you boot with it? Is the bus speed of the external actually faster than that of the internal drive?

Running since July as my main data drive with daily backups without any issues.
