OWC Computers...down for last day or so?

[Michael Maddan]

I've bought RAM from them, and had very-good results.
Question: I've tried to go to the site several times over the past several hours, and cannot get through...does anyone know if something's happening over there?
Thanks!

I get a page informing site is under maintenance.

Thanks for letting me know...I cannot recall seeing OWC not working, and was a bit concerned!

It took a long time, but eventually this page opened for me. I would be pretty annoyed if I wanted to buy something from them today. Seems like a tech company could upgrade their site without this kind of disruption, but I'm probably missing something.

There ARE times when it's a good idea to 'take a break' and make things better. All kinds of things that DO work really well, do not always behave that way unless they are taken care of. With a website like OWC, I'm with you @ hoping that they'd do their maintenance during REALLY 'off hours', but this may be one of those times that they really had to do it, NOW!

I have done some business with them, and plan to again. I have a good feeling about them, and that's something that I cannot say about many, other sites. I've also sent them a few emails, and they respond quickly and with good, complete info.

I've always wanted a 2015 15" MacBook Pro, and if I actually buy one, it will probably be from them.

I go to their MacResource forums almost daily, and it is dead as well, for the last 3 days. I think something more than maintenance is going on....

My experiences with OWC/MacSales have all been very good but have seen posts from others who were not happy, so (as always): caveat emptor. I got a used top-spec 2012 quad Mini from them back around 2015-2016. Used it heavily for a few years with Logic and FCP, now it runs 24/7 as a file server/time machine destination on my LAN.

We, of course, would prefer not to have our sites down for such a time period. Working to see that it is back for everyone's benefit very soon. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Wow, was this a planned outage?

The duration of this was not planned, no.

And happy to report that looks that OWC.com will be back online shortly and then followed later this afternoon / early evening by macssales.com. Again, thank you for patience and understanding.
