Review: Solved my enclosure issues – fast and stable on Mac - I switched to this enclosure after having issues with a cheaper one from China that kept disconnecting randomly. This one completely solved the problem. I’m using it with a WD Black SN850X on a Mac (M4 Pro), and I’m getting around 3000MB/s+ in real-world speeds. Performance has been stable with no dropouts or disconnects. The design looks clean and premium, and the build quality feels solid and well-made. It does get warm under load, but heat management seems well controlled. Overall, this enclosure did exactly what I needed — fixed my original issue and delivered reliable, fast performance. Very satisfied with the purchase.
Review: Great solidly built, high performance NVMe external drive case - Excellent external case for NVMe SSDs to attach to a Mac. Build quality is awesome and solid, supplied cable works well and gives very very fast speeds on a Mac Studio M1 Max. I paired mine with with w WD Black NVMe SSD and installation was a breeze and setup was just as easy. Really enjoying some stellar performance. Note: The drive enclosure does always run warm to moderately hot since it is a giant heat sink, but never to a state where it was too hot to pick up.. Looks like it's doing to good job in dissipating heat...

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I Wish I'd Known About This Before I Returned Others Like It
*by G***T on March 27, 2025*

I've bought a few different external drive systems over my lifetime, but none as quality on par as this chonky boy. It is thicc, you may notice the same thing, but I'll tell you why it's for good reason. I purchased the 0TB version of the OWC Express 1M2 SSD enclosure and I paired this up with a Samsung 990 Evo Plus. My needs for more hard drive space was quickly realized when the base Mac mini M4's measly 256 GB of storage wasn't gonna cut it. #basemodelgang The premium quality straight out of the box was noticeable in my hands. Heavy. It feels well made and the aluminum reminds me of an expensive tool. It looks cool, I think. Matches the color of my Mac enough. All the fins, slices, across the top of the enclosure allow a massive amount of heat to be dispersed passively. No fans, no noise. And it works well! I have noticed it gets warm to the touch, but nowhere near concerning. It supports PCIe 4.0. It's not the most portable SSD, I will say that is a downside, but it can be for the occasional need. I like that it's thin enough to slide into the front pouch of a backpack. The better part of this setback, is that it allows me to edit videos in Final Cut Pro directly from the drive right as it sits on my desk. Quietly operating, without a sound. It's fast, faster than anything I've used and almost double to internal Mac mini read/write speeds and averages above 3,000 for both. I think this product is for someone who wants to expand their computer with more storage, but doesn't mainly travel with it. If your priority is portability, you may already know this isn't for you. The things that make it not so great option to carry, are the exact reasons you want it when performance and sound are what you are looking for in your search for an external hard drive.
