And you lie. You didn't call them. LOL


/e ..and even on the off chance you did, which I sincerely doubt. The WD My Book 2TB is still cheaper...and has a decent review.


Don't accuse someone of lying.

Point still is... the WD 2TB My Book has a 2 year warranty.

Ok, so the RE drive has a 5year warranty...what about the drive enclosure? I can't find ANY warranty on that. :/


At least if your gonna recommend something...pls do the research. ^^

Who cares about a warranty on the drive enclosure? I want the data not the device.

I own 3 of those enclosures.
No issues

do you need proof also of that?

I will admit i had one defected one but they replaced it super fast advance shipped and paid for return shipping.
just make sure you have a newegg acc and don't use teh guest check out otherwise you have to pay upfront.

That would be a 30 day return. That company doesn't even have a western hemisphere office.
An enclosure that does have a wh office will cost more...so the benefit goes down.


IMO, the best option for the OP is still the My Book.

can return to newegg. if case fails later down road its 20$ or wait 30 days.
and you won't lose ur data where as a drive sent to WD does not GET back up by them and opening it voids warranty

You wanna come up with a better solution...then do it. Just don't pick some crappy enclosure. ^^

Yeah you keep saying so.

I found a review that has the My Book at #11...(well it used to be)

You got nothing...cept and idea, and no time to actually do the research on the parts you "recommend".


/e You seem to think, I care who has the best solution. I don't. I only care that you spout off crap, w/o doing any research.
