3.0 out of 5 stars Good enclosure, but MISLEADING! This is only 20gbps, not the 40 you'd expect from thunderbolt.
Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2022
This enclosure is good quality, and it isn't too hard to install the ssd. While the cable is really short, it looks like it is possible to buy a different thunderbolt cable and insert that one on the inside instead of the included one. I'd recommend getting a different screwdriver though, because the one that it came with literally broke right after I was done using it.

My biggest complaint about this is the fact that NOWHERE in the description does this say it isn't a 40gbps enclosure! According to carbon copy cloner, this only supports 20gbps. It is so misleading to not put that in the product description, especially when this product shows up on the first page when searching for '40gbps enclosure' like I did. I probably would have saved myself a bit of money and gone with a cheaper ssd if OWC was more transparent in the product description.
