This case fit the hard drive perfectly. When I plugged it in to my new Windows laptop the hard-drive wasn't initially recognized. This was due to it being a mac hard drive and Apple's aggressive brand loyalty incompatibly programming. I was able to fix it after a quick google search. This is to say, it's not the case's fault that incompatibility issues arise. Some other reviews here from less tech savvy buyers blame the case for issues that are actually issues with their drive. From the feel of it I'm confident that this case would survive the apocalypse, which is great as I use it to hold important data backups for my small business. The front and back are metal and the sides and back are covered by thick rubber. The case is held together by six metal screws and the drive is held in by interior padding. I don't think you can beat this quality for the price. Review: Wonderful Enclosure - This thing is fantastic for the price. Comes in a nice box with torx screws and a little torx screwdriver. I like how they built-in the cable! Case is also very rugged. I'm using this with a 1 TB 960 EVO SSD as a backup drive, fits perfectly. Now I just hope the electronics hold up over time but I get the impression it will. IMO, worth paying a few more bucks over the "budget enclosures" out there.
