    Doesn't seem like I can add to cart - click "add" and it just takes me to a blank cart. Guessing it's out of stock already and their system hasn't updated :(

    Black one still in stock.

    Take extra note for B key only - if i'm not mistaken SATA M.2 SSD drives only, not NVME drives.

      I have put that in bold hoping people will read it

        Hahaha I missed it! Imagine that.

    • c0lch3y on 09/09/2020 - 14:32

      Any recommended ones for nvme drives?

      • netsurfer on 09/09/2020 - 14:38

        No, most of them are too $$$.

      • jjsu on 09/09/2020 - 14:40

        Orico has one for about $40 at Mwave

      • lawyerz on 09/09/2020 - 14:46

        Yes about $39-49 but even the slowest nvme drives will be bottlenecked heavily by the fastest USB 3.1 gen 2 standards available.

        I have one. Tops out at around 850MB/s for a slow nvme drive that does > 2000Mb/s.

        Many nvme drives will exceed 3000Mb/s

        • plmko on 09/09/2020 - 14:50

          The point of NVME is with Thunderbolt though, so you're not capped at USB 3.1

          But NVME heats up so much that speeds will probably be slower than SATA after a certain amount of time. Had it not been for the novelty I wouldn't have bought one in hindsight.

      FYI difference between drives

  • sicaboy on 09/09/2020 - 14:28

    Is the original 2015 MacBook Pro SSD a B-key one? can it be used in this product?

  • sickburn on 09/09/2020 - 14:33

    Nice!
    Still holding out for a B+M key enclosure though!

    • Froot Loops on 09/09/2020 - 16:09

      Yup. I need M. Hoping I will find a good price on one.

  • abuseyourdna on 09/09/2020 - 14:40

    Does this support Crucial P1 1TB SSD M.2 PCIe NVME 3D NAND?

    • littlesoldier on 09/09/2020 - 14:41
      +6

      From my understanding No
      The comments above said it only supports SATA based M2 SSD, not NVMe based M2 SSD

      • abuseyourdna on 09/09/2020 - 14:45

        Thank you, I am finding one for Crucial P1 1TB SSD M.2 PCIe NVME 3D NAND. they are not cheap, $55 for a Orico enclose.

        • lawyerz on 09/09/2020 - 14:49

          It's about that price for a USB 3.1 gen 2 one. I have one. I have a comment up top about bottlenecking and not even reaching 50% of the nvme drive potential. But my exclosure is USB 3.1 gen 2, not Thunderbolt.

          Which is insanely expensive

          • jjsu on 09/09/2020 - 16:04

            @lawyerz: The thing is, you should know going into this that an external enclosure will always bottleneck the drive. If you were going for as minimal bottleneck as possible, you'd have the drive straight in the mobo.

            • lawyerz on 09/09/2020 - 16:06

              @jjsu: yeap i knew from the start. It was a deliberate decision, was still 50% faster than SATA SSD for a reasonably priced enclosure. slower NVME SSD isn't that much more expensive over their SATA counterparts.

  • fratzhaus on 09/09/2020 - 14:48

    Thanks for this.

    I bought a SATA m2 for my boot drive thinking it was NVMe when updating my hardware.
    Only got 1 slot on my Motherboard so the SATA won't go to waste when I replace it :)

    And it's gone. Went from 4 to 0 in the time I refreshed a few seconds apart :D

    Bought one from eBay for $12.85 don't have chance and drive to test it out yet.

    Can this one do most? 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280?

    https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Aluminium-M-2-NGFF-SSD-SATA-TO-U…

    • Froot Loops on 09/09/2020 - 15:01

      Seems like much the same. Supported sizes are also 2230, 2242, 2260, & 2280. Guess the only real difference is the warranty. On eBay only get 30 days support and 180 days for Paypal dispute. Amazon pretty much would just refund. Still, $12.85 is a good price

      • superforever on 09/09/2020 - 15:01

        Yeah but still didn't support M.2 PCIe NVME

  • scud70 on 09/09/2020 - 15:00

    crap… need one of these for work bum!

  • stringbean402 on 09/09/2020 - 15:00

    Dammit sold out. I actually needed one of these :(

    • Cupa Bundy Drinker on 09/09/2020 - 15:04

      You can easily find one on eBay for a similar price.

        From a seller in China pretending to be in Australia, no thanks.

        • Cupa Bundy Drinker on 09/09/2020 - 15:46

          I bought one on 1 September, got it in 3-4 days.

    How fast can this go (copying files) using an above average drive?

    • Jimbuscus on 09/09/2020 - 17:20

      The Read/Write speed will be limited by the SSD you install and the drive being transferred to, as well as the type of files being transferred. (many small files vs big file).

      But generally you should expect around 450mb/s if the transfer is to an internal SSD storage, or 120mb/s if the internal is a regular old spinning hard drive.

    • CH on 09/09/2020 - 19:33

      I've had one these for a few months now, I get ~420MBs/R and ~350MBs/W using a 500GB Crucial

  • SamyKn on 09/09/2020 - 17:11

    I rather wait for a combo M+B key , i think worth the wait…..
