Easy iMac RAM upgrade

Purchase was for RAM upgrade to a four-year-old 27-inch iMac. For consistency/compatibility, replaced the two original 32gb pieces with four new 32gb components. After easy install, machine now runs faster. OWC website made it easy to select correct type of RAM. Pricing was reasonable. Shipping was free and quick.

A longtime OWC/Macsales fan

I've been a fan of OWC/Macsales since early 2000s. I return each time I need new accessories or service and support. I'm always pleased if not delighted by my experience. I just completed selling an older Mac Mini through the SellMyMac site after purchasing an M1 Mini through MacSales. My only preference would be not to have to deal with unrequested promotions while navigating the completion of the purchasing transaction.

Order delivered to my previous address

My order is being delivered to my previous address. There seems to be no way to update my postal address in my OWC account settings. Messages typed onto OWC’s chat box are apparently blocked by my browser’s security features.

I purchased a Macbook Pro and it is in excellent shape! Much better than I expected and I was concerned about the battery life but so far it is holding charge amazingly well. I’m not sure if they install fresh batteries in the units before selling but seems like no issue with holding charge.
Thanks OWC!!

Great company to do business with!

The product I was looking for was available at a reasonable cost. I have bought the same item twice before from OWC and it was shipped on time and performed beautifully. I am purchasing again because the last one (a mac battery) is reaching the end of it's life and I wanted to have a new one on hand.

Fast delivery and GREAT QUALITY PRODUCTS!

I got the matias wired keyboard to replace the Macally one I just got for my new Mac Studio. The Macally one threw off more EMI noise than a light dimmer, which is a non-starter for a recording studio. The matias is dead silent on the EMI front, and feels very much like the wired Apple keyboard I used to have with my old iMac years ago.

Great Service and Patient Problem Solving

I want to express my gratitude to OWC and Greg A. for his amazing customer support when helping me with a replacement battery issue for my old Macbook Pro. He went so far as to patiently walk me through re-opening my machine so we could analyze what was going on. Not only did we discover a fit problem, but he ended up saving me a potential hazardous situation, as I had not realized the battery was in fact slightly bulging and unsafe. Greg went above and beyond, and I am very grateful for his real expertise and commitment to serving and solving which seems so rare these days. Thank you again!

MacSales has the BEST used Mac Minis!

I buy ALL my Mac products from MacSales - have been since the year 2000. They have certified used equipment (Mac Minis), of which I have purchased three. They are all in perfect condition and work just the way they should. My most recent purchase was my 3rd used Mac Mini. I needed the updated most recent model in order to run certain applications that require the latest MacOS. I am very pleased with every purchase I have ever made at MacSales.

Apple Gear

OWC carries quality items for Apple products. This purchase was just for a couple of lightning cables but I have purchased medium and high cost items with outstanding results. In the past few years I have purchased 3 reconditioned MacBook Pro's from OWC that have all been excellent and reliable (still work great). Highly recommend them for Apple gear.

I am impressed with OWC support

I was impressed with the level of service from the moment my call went through until my question was answered, and I was emailed the link for the product I was looking for. This is amazing customer service and support. I will continue being a customer as long as I’m in the business.

OWC blew it

For many years I have been a happy OWC MacSales client, Until now. The Mac Magic keyboard I ordered arrived without its packaging, with no paperwork, with no packing slip, poorly boxed, and then did not work. Tech help was very good (Cynthia) in telling me things to try to get it to work, but it was dead. The next day, when I called customer service (overseas and the connection was terrible!) they would not send me an RMA-- I would have to pay for the shipping back of their faulty product. 30 minutes of futile back and forth. I called back Tech (Cynthia again) who was helpful. After 12 minutes on hold she came back and emailed me a paid RMA slip. I had at first planned to get them to send a replacement keyboard but after al this hassle I refused and am now waiting to get my $ reimbursed.

Second reburbished mac I've purchased from OWC. Been buying RAM, storage and other sundries from them for years. Always quick shipping and great products at great prices. If you own a mac, you gotta know OWC.

Envoy Pro SX Thunderbolt Bus-Powered NVMe M.2 SSD Enclosure

The Envoy Pro SX does just what I need it to do and that makes me happy. It replaced an 8 year old hard drive (which is still working, better safe than sorry tho) but the speed improvement was much greater than I expected plus it's much smaller. (For those of you daisy-chaining your "thunderbolts" the bus-powered Pro SX only has one port so it must be at the end of the chain, fwiw. At least that's how I did it.)

Thank you for your review, Paul! We’re thrilled to hear that the Envoy Pro SX exceeded your speed expectations and that you’re happy with its performance. Thanks for sharing the tip about daisy-chaining—it's great advice for others using Thunderbolt setups! Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions, comments, or concerns.

Great product, customer service and shipping

Ordering process was efficient and confident inspiring. My question was answered expertly and clarified my doubts about the product. Item was sent very promptly, updated and tracked by Fedex. Very satisfied with the quality of the item as well. I ordered a Thunderbolt 4 Hub.
