I'm confused by Seagate's answer: "carry 6 months/90days warranty". Well which is it, 6 months or 3 months?
I try looking for cases that use Oxford chipsets as I've had some drive cases die on me which weren't Oxford-based.
I have the Neptune and it's a nice enclosure, I put my own 500 gig drive into it and gave my niece one with a 160 gig drive.
I never did get a response as to why the Neptune is so inexpensive compared to the other OWC cases, styling seems to be about the only difference. I don't ever see a need to use anything but the Neptune's (as long as the bare drives are IDE.)
