OWC Express 1M2 Portable SSD NVMe Thunderbolt Enclousure 40Gbps USB-C USB4 Ultra Fast up to 3836MB/s real-world performance External SSD Drive with Aluminum Heat Sink - Works with PC & Mac (2TB)

I don’t normally so reviews, but I got this and compared it to my other OWC, I’m more than please XL with the results!

Fast delivery, excellent function and easy set up. Produces quite a bit of heat but I suppose it is normal.

I bought this as some fast additional storage for my Mac mini. This was easy to install, gets great transfer rates, and is silent. It is warm to the touch, but not hot; that’s what I expected, and I'm happy that it uses passive cooling.

Das Gehäuse macht einen sehr hochwertigen Eindruck und ist vergleichsweise groß und schwer. Die Installation war völlig problemlos und die SSD funktioniert auch an einem älteren iMac, dann natürlich mit geringerer Geschwindigkeit.

Yes worked fine, it finally died within a few hours. It just decided not to work with TB4, but still works with USB-C at a much slower speed. Coming from OWC it is surprising

Hat meine Erwartungen erfüllt. Läuft perfekt als externes Laufwerk zum Filme schneiden an meinem MacStudio.

If you buy one that has an included nvme already installed, it will be formatted for the Apple file system. It comes with a very small booklet (really has piece of paper folded) explaining how to reformat it. It is extremely easy! It sent me to their website, I downloaded an app and ran it, literally 5 seconds later it was reformatted for NTFS file system.I run games on this! New current AAA titles requiring SSDs! I have not ran a diagnostics, I thought it was pointless since in the reviews section others have. For my use with this device I have no reason to doubt the existing tests.I initially bought this to house my steam library. Many new games require an SSD to run properly. My computer only has two terabytes of SSD storage. That may seem like a lot, and it is. With new games requiring 70 to 200 GB each that fills up fast. My intention was to be able to switch which games are on my internal nvme. It's quicker to switch drives, even with a slower drive, than it is to download, changing install location is a wonderful feature that steam has. Out of curiosity I tried running several games, and was surprised to see there was no issue whatsoever, so now I just run them off the external drive. I factually could not tell It was running from an external nvme.I have it in a well ventilated location. I have never experienced it getting hot, only warm. The metal housing displaces heat extremely well.
