As several of us have pointed out, there are lots of them around and
they all seem to work. With Amazon't guarantees there is no risk at all
in trying one, not even return postage. Hardly any point posting, and
snide responses are certainly not justified. Whoosh.

That was actually the first answer, before anyone had pointed out
anything, and the response was certainly not meant to be snide, hence
the smiley. Apologies if it was taken as not meant.

The only issue I'm aware of with external enclosures, was
the power supplies.

There were a couple years, where the quality of 12V @ 2A supplies
was just terrible. When the adapters blew, they were also ruining
the drive connected at the time. That means the wall power adapter designs,
lacked the most basic of protections.

This has been fixed. And the issue is no longer evident.
You don't have to worry today (if buying new stock).

As for the listed "size limit", that is a limit established
by testing. The computing industry has a poor track
record on "theoretical size limit determination", so
if a theoretical limit was listed, it would most likely
be wrong. If it says "tested with 4TB", that means they
tried it with at least *one* 4TB drive :-) They don't
have a big budget for test.
