I am blown away by the speeds that this SSD enclosure can deliver. I've got mine paired with a Samsung 990 PRO 4TB SSD and plugged into the Thunderbolt port of my Mac Studio. I'm seeing read/write speeds in the 2700 MB/s and 2600 MB/s range, which is so much faster than my previous 10 Gbps enclosure (which was achieving roughly 600-700 MB/s speeds). And this is with the SSD about 45% full. I use my system for video editing 4K content, and the scrubbing speed on my timeline has become instantaneous. I can quickly scrub through the timeline or jump to different parts of the video with ease... no lag anymore! Installation was super easy... just open the fully aluminum case, insert the SSD and rubber mounting plug, then push the SSD into the enclosure (no screws or screwdrivers needed). Close the cover and you're done. My Mac recognized the drive immediately. The enclosure can get warm (to slightly hot) when I'm rendering a long duration video, but that's expected of any SSD or hard drive. To keep the enclosure (and SSD) cooler, I keep the enclosure on top of my Mac Studio (which has an aluminum shell)..... this helps to dissipate heat a little better than if I were to place it on my wood desk surface. The enclosure looks great; it's sleek and minimalistic with cleanly milled heat-sink grooves. And the all-aluminum design is very-nicely machined and matches the design language of my Mac, awesome! I don't have a PC, but this is fully compatible on my Mac Studio running the latest MacOS. Read more

Excellent solid construction and dissipation of heat. Fast and reliable with the fastest cards. Much cheaper than upgrading the MAC specs at time of purchase. I use 2 of these now and couldn’t be happier. Really easy to set-up with clear instructions! Definitely recommend… Read more

I use this paired mainly with an M4 mac mini. Instead of using it as an external drive, I installed macOS on the drive inside of the enclosure and use it as the boot drive. It has been working flawlessly, and the speeds are very close if not the same as the internal drive. Read more

I bought this after reading some reviews but this did not work for me trying to use it on a new M4 Macbook Air. I used a new Lexar 4TB NVME SSD but no matter what I did, the unit I received would not be recognized by my laptop. There is nothing wrong with the NVME SSD as I had tested this on a PC. I tried again on a M2 Mac mini and it did not work, not being recognized. I must have received a defective unit. Too bad I was looking forward to working on some video projects on my Macbook Air but will be returning this and going with another vendor. Quality control is unpredictable I guess. Read more

Put a 2TB ssd in this to use with a Mac mini. Great at dispersing heat, fit the drive without any issue, and is insanely fast. This was the best price for a 40gbps I could find and am not dissapointed. Installation of the m.2 drive was easy, and once complete, it was plug and play easy. Read more

Drive is fast, stays cool, but for an external drive on my Mac Studio it disconnects during sleep mode. No software will mount it back, you have to physically unplug and plug the drive. I am sure this is a Mac thing, its always a Mac thing. Using it with a inexpensive Silicon Power 1TB UD90 NVMe 4.0 Gen4 PCIe M.2 SSD attached to the Thunderbolt 5 port. Read more

Never had problems with this unit. Always stays cool to the touch, or at most it feels room temp. My compatible SSD plugged right in seamlessly. Read more
