OWC Data Doubler Kit

[lovememac]

Has anyone in the Uk ordered the OWC Data Doubler Kit and if so how long did it take to arrive. Ordered mine last Monday and i'm sitting here with a new SSD and itchy fingers waiting for it

Don't live in the UK but if you order free shipping from OWC it takes a long time here in the US. They probably sent it by boat.

You could've ordered it shipped from the UK instead.

It's a piece of flat wire with two plugs.

Yeah I noticed that, thanks for pointing out.
But, my real point was,
is this piece of flat wire capable to transfer 6Gbit/s or it is 3Gbit/s

let me know how this goes, i've been meaning to puchase one of these for quite a while now..

Mine was shipped on Jan 13 and delivered to Australia on Feb 6. I selected a cheapest postage option. I think delivery in UK should be much faster.

Seriously? From OWC? I have purchased RAM previously from them with the cheapest option and it took about 2 weeks... I guess 3 weeks isn't THAT much of a difference, but still.

I bought one and installed it in my mac mini. It can be quite a pain to remove the IR sensor. I broke it and thought my mac mini was gone as i did not know i broke the IR sensor at point in time. I thought i had to get a refurbished set to replace my 'damaged' mac mini.

I looked around the forum and found out it's a common issue with people trying to install a ssd because the IR sensor cable is very fragile. You're suppose to lift it from under the wires and not under the socket which i did.

Anyway, i installed the ssd with the data doubler and the mac mini fired up just fine. Only problem is i don't get the white light at the front of the mac mini to tell you that the mac mini is turned on. A blessing in disguise as i tend to leave the mac mini on overnight and the light can be quite distracting in a darken room when i'm sleeping.

Hi sir, thanks for that feedback! Actually quite handy - especially as nobody would know about the hidden sleep light until they actually did it themselves! Cheers.
