[MacTUG] Anyone recommend an Apple SSD enclosure?

[Devon Merner]

I would like to +1 Glenn's comment on OWC's external enclosures for Apple SSDs.  We've had a lot of luck with them even with drives from liquid damaged MacBooks.

Are you looking to put an SSD from a MacBook into an external case? If so I have done so with external cases from OWC that were designed for the specific model of SSD from Apple, and they work fine.

Your case is not designed for the custom blade SSD’s Apple uses, its designed to support a 2.5” SATA drive. Your MacBook Pro uses a PCIe 2.0 interface using two lanes (x2). You can find out more here: The Ultimate Guide to Apple’s Proprietary SSDs - Generation 3. Here’s another good reference:... - MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display Late 2013
