Random Plug: Apricons SSD Upgrade Kit & The Test

Random Plug: Apricon’s SSD Upgrade Kit

About a month ago I stopped by to see a friend and was handed this puppy:

It’s an unusually sturdy external 2.5” enclosure with an opening mechanism that I’d have to use the word butter-smooth to describe. It ships with a cable as well as cloning software for both Windows and Mac OS X. Being surprised by anyone offering OS X cloning software I decided to give it a try, and to my amazement it actually works.

If you’re in the market for a good external 2.5” enclosure, the Apricorn kit might be worth your consideration.
