We got through Thanksgiving, and now all that is left is Christmas and New Years. As different holidays affect people differently, we designed our enclosures to match people with different preferences. That is why we came out with the newest enclosures, the MB664UEB-1S and the MB671SK-BB. The MB664UEB-1S comes with USB and Firewire 800 connection. Installing a hard drive requires no screws or tools, allowing users to change hard drive conveniently anytime and anywhere. Our additional enclosure in the MB671 series is the MB671SK-BB. It is similar to the MB671SK-B only with a black faceplate. Both enclosures can use our new MB882SP-1S series, which can convert any 2.5" SATA hard drive into a 3.5" SATA hard drive.

All of our products come with a three-year manufacturer's warranty.
