I’m using the same SSD and getting less performance though which is a bit puzzling. My machine is a 2019 iMac 27
Any other TB3 devices connected?
How full (and what size) is your M2?

I wonder if it’s due to being the boot drive, and thus there is some overheadI am using the XPG SX8200 1TB and have no other TB3 devices connected.
Unless they specify USB3 then no - the TB3 model is TB3 only.Hi folks. Looking for enclosure for WD_BLACK SN750 NVMe to use with my MB Pro 2016.
Just wanted to clarify a few questions:
1. Are JEYI enclosures compatible with USB3.1/USB2.0?
2. Aside of temperature issues how stable they are?
Thanks for the replyUnless they specify USB3 then no - the TB3 model is TB3 only.
Thank you for the reply. Is the a general consensus on the most stable usbb3.1 enclosure chip/device?imASH wrote:
"that's an issue of compatibility. I guess it is not a good option as universal portable drive.."
If it's "compatibility" that you want, USB3.1 gen2 would probably be "the best compromise".
These should yield reads of 965MBps or so when connected to a USBc port that supports USB3.1 gen2.
But they should also connect to USBa (USB3) ports and yield read speeds around 430MBps.
Ok, another NVMe enclosure here - but this time its built into a TB3 dock as well. This is probably my ideal solution and the one I'll stick with for now!
What's the difference between the JEYI enclosure you linked to and this one? (Also JEYI, but $10 more)Heres some results with the same Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1tb drive.
One is in a J5Create USB-C Enclosure (slower) and then moved to a JEYI TB3 Enclosure.
Can also confirm the JEYI comes with two TB3 cables - short (and horrible unless lying flat beside the computer) and a 50cm which is good.

What do you guys think about this one?

You are getting 2459 MB/s read which is more than two lanes. Where are you seeing two lanes?I've just fitted a Sabrent Rocket 1TB into the Orico TB3 enclosure (the one with the fins) and I'm getting very slow write speeds. The current link speed is only listed as 2 lanes rather than 4. That's the problem, but what's causing it?
OK. I removed a USB C hub I had some hard drives plugged into and seem to be getting mixed results. Again, what's causing that?

Test 2 immediately after
Those are Thunderbolt lanes. A Thunderbolt connection is two bidirectional lanes (2 for send, 2 for receive, 8 wires total in the USB-C connector).In System Information, the only TB3 device is the Orico enclosure. I assume "Current Link Width: 0x2" means only 2 lanes? I may be wrong, fair enough.
