Hey guys, thought this might interest some of you.

I've got a Late 2011 17" MBP, and as everyone knows, I have Thunderbolt - but not USB 3.0

I swapped my internal 750GB 7200rpm drive for a Samsung 840 250GB SSD, but I want an external enclosure for bigger files (FCPX and other content creation, mainly)

So what did I pick up?

Buffalo MiniStation 500GB Thunderbolt from OWC.

Did an unboxing:

And did some benchmarking, bone stock:

Next up - pulling the enclosure apart, and installing my 750GB 7200rpm into the enclosure! Maybe tonight I'll get around to that :)
