HDD with OWC Optimized Firmware

Can someone explain to me that advantages of purchasing an enterprise hard drive from OWC, with optimized firmware for OWC enclosures?

https://eshop.macsales.com/item/Toshiba/MG11ACA24TES/

What is the benefit to this ? As opposed to using other enterprise drives. Is it worth that much more ? I asked someone on the phone at OWC and they couldn't really explain it well to me.

My OWC Thunderbolt 3 dock doesn’t provide power to my Apple keyboard via the front “high powered port” for USB A

I have an older Mac keyboard and downloaded the OWC ejector app and gave the app permissions and still my keyboard won’t work …

Even tried with a USB extender from Apple, which should have solved it , but it didn’t work either :/

Any ideas?

Laptop is MacBook Air m4

Thanks

OWC External esata Enclosures (with 12 volt pwr supply)

Hi Gang ....

Haven't been here for a while. Not sure if this is the correct forum? I was a big OWC buyer/user for years, and have (on hand), many of the older 'esata ported' OWC Enclosures. This particular one is black. 'The Mercury Elite'. I've been using esata exclusively with these enclosures. I realize there is the advent of newer faster USB. However, I've stockpiled tons of data in several 2TB enclosures. And was wondering if there are folks out there using them? I'm about to transfer data from one 2TB drive to another NEW 2TB drive (all from one OWC enclosure to another).

Thank you for any recent opinions ...
