[MacTUG] Anyone recommend an Apple SSD enclosure?

Just an FYI, OWC does often have some discounted ones in their “garage” sales. As an example, here is a used one that might work.

I’ve used one of these in the past.
I don’t have amazing things to say about it unfortunately. Performance wise it was just “ok”…

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
