### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inexpensive, fast, and beautiful

I bought 3 of this to use with Samsung 870 QVO 8TB SATA SSDs on my Mac Studio. It shows its maximum speed performance as already known. Good design, best performance, and cheap. I would recommend this to Mac users surely.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice, but Crucial Drive Difficult to Install
*by W***R on October 7, 2023*

After all was said and done this turned out to be a nice, little enclosure. It's small, well built, snappy and stays cool so far. Installing a Crucial 4TB MX500 drive wasn't what OWC's video made it out to be. Their video simply shows their drive connecting to the board easily. The Crucial on the other hand required disconnecting the board, plugging it into the drive then reconnecting the board to the enclosure. No big deal really, just expect it and have a small Torx or Allen wrench on hand. Knowing what to expect I'd purchase another.
