    Who manufactures Buffalo's external hdd enclosures?

    Anyone know who Buffalo buys their enclosures from for their external hard drives? Is it the same company that manufactures WD's enclosures? I'd like to place a bulk purchase.

    The enclosure only. Not the hdd. Wondering who makes the plastic part with USB connector.

    Look on this website. Lots of Asian manufactures here. You should be able to find them for a few dollars each.

    rosewill doesn't make a 2.5" external that supports thunderbolt and buffalo sells an external with usb 3.0 and thunderbolt but not with an ssd. i want to buy buffalo's enclosure and put my own m4 ssd in it.

    here is a link to buffalo's product:

    that seams like a huge waste of money, but i guess the MBP gives you no real options.
