OWC Envoy Pro 1A Portable, USB 3.2 (10Gb/s) Bus-Powered External Storage Enclosure for Mac SSDs Compatible with Select 2013 to 2019 Mac Models SSDs

I had a 240Gb OWC Aura N2 SSD that I was taking out of an older Mac Mini and thought it would be a perfect external backup drive for my wife's new Mac Mini. Unfortunately, the Apple SSD pin configuration is very different than the mainstream SSDs for PCs. This enclosure, also from OWC, works perfectly. While a bit pricey, it was super easy to install the SSD and get it formatted as a backup drive. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Works great. Excellent build quality. Can now use a Macbook NVME as an external drive. This might be the only product with the correct pins. Then used an APFS reader (like Paragon) to get my files out on a PC.

Very easy to set up, worked on the first try. Four stars rather than five because (1) it has one of those annoying micro-USB type-B plugs on the drive's side. It comes with a USB-A to micro-USB type-B cable, so you won't need to source one yourself, but I'd have preferred USB-C. And (2) it comes with an optional heat dissipation pad that was so old that it crumbled on attempted installation.Warning — this is for NVMe drives with Apple's weirdo key.Photo shows the case with a drive installed, before I closed it.

Ordered two, one didn't work, the other worked for a day. Neither drive could be read after placing in these devices. Returned for another case with a modern USB-C port, hopefully the drives were not damaged using these cases.

This is a fantastic solid state drive enclosure for old MacBook SSDs. It is not a typical SSD enclosure - check compatibility with your Mac before purchasing.The case is machined aluminum that looks and feels nearly identical to Apple's aluminum. Other SSD enclosures for old MacBooks are almost the same price as this one, so definitely buy the OWC Envoy Pro 1A for its magnificent metal case.I upgraded an old 2015 MacBook Air (model A1466) to a larger SSD, and this enclosure is perfect for installing macOS on the new SSD as well as a permanent home for the old SSD when the upgrade is complete.

Good product, easy to install. Fit great for the ssd from MacBook Pro, format capability is great. Speed is reasonable. I hope it is a little cheaper.

I had a 2015 MacBook Pro crash on me and mine is the style you can pull out the memory card. So I bought this to plug that memory card from my crashed computer into my new computer, but it would not work it just kept loading. I read a bunch of forums and found out I needed a separate power hub to plug this product into and then the hub gets plugged into the new computer. The extra power from the hub was able to download everything within a few minutes whereas before, it just wouldn’t work. I got the hub from Best Buy for $10.

Unable to access the data with this enclosure.Also unable to update my Mac to High Sierra, even at the Apple Store with Genius staff.
