ACASIS USB C 3.0 MacBook SSD Enclosure for Apple Flash SSDs from MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, Mac Pro, iMac, and Mac Mini Models from 2013 to 2015 Portable Storage SSD

This shell is made extremely well and works as such. However if you are planning on using it as external storage for an old drive taken out of a macbook pro, you may run into problems. I took the old SSD out of my 2015 Macbook Pro and put it in the case. I then plugged it into my 2021 M1 Max Macbook Pro and it initially read the SSD, but then quickly disconnected it. I tried multiple times to plug it back in and format it and the SSD just wont cooperate with my newer macbook pro. I then used the adapter that came with the case and inserted a new WD Black NVME SSD and it worked flawlessly. So its definitely the old 2015 SSD thats the problem. Once I got my 2015 SSD replaced, I put the old 2015 SSD back in the case and tried it on my 2015 Mac. It worked perfectly. So I believe the problem is those old SSDs just dont mesh with the newer hardware and software of newer machines. Other than that, the case itself is a mighty fine product. I was impressed with the quality. It'll work perfect if you need to use it to extract files off an old mac SSD or want to use and old mac SSD for storage. It connects perfectly on an older Mac.

Easy to set up, fast performance connected to an iMac USB Thunderbolt. Runs hot though although no Thermal Problems (Throttling etc) per se, definitely a cheaper alternative to the OWC enclosure but for Mac your limited wih choice with a spare drive on your hands. Nice touch the apapter being Thunderbolt 3 and Regular USB 3 running Bootcamp Windows at the moment can transfer from iMac to MacBook Pro and Boots equally well on both Machines. Not tested the enclosed converter however its handy to have if you wish to upgrade either internally or externally with a non proprietary drive at a later date.

Work great, the case is robust, a solid product.

So i needed a connector to connect my mac ssd to windows. However got the enclosure which reads the files perfectly of ssd from 2017 macbook air.

TLDR: Worked 460% better and 33,600% faster and 43% cheaper than my computer repair man; Watch out for the heat while copying over all files. Details: my 2015 Macbook Pro motherboard died a month ago. Right in the middle of a project. (Thank goodness for backups on Dropbox.) I tried everything on my own. Replaced the battery. Watched YouTube. Reset memory. On and on. Nothing worked. Took to a local computer shop. He said he couldn't fix, that the YouTube solutions were bogus, but could back it up. Darn it. Okay. Do it. Said it would be ready in a couple of days. After checking in/calling every other day for two-three weeks, the back was finally ready. He charged $99. I was grateful for the backup but it was incomplete. 61 GB. I thought, "Oh well. Guess I learned a lesson." But ... on Prime Day this dropped to $56. So I finally bit the bullet, said, "Why not", and got this device. Easy to set up. Plugged it in. One hour later ... I had a full 264 GB backup. Wow. I feel bad for the repairman that he had to waste all that time. Maybe it copied slowly due to using an old USB. But this tool is PERFECT and copies over USB-C (or you can use the included adapter to an old USB). Now I have all my old files. Yes, it gets super hot, BUT only while I copied over the ENTIRE hard drive. After it was done copying, the drive cooled down and felt completely normal (not hot at all).
