question
If I have this USB 3.1 enclosure holding an M.2 SSD (capable of 10Gbps speeds) and plug this adapter into my 2015 MacBook Pro's Thunderbolt 2 port, will I get the full 10Gbps speeds? The Samsung M.2 I have is capable of 1.5Gbps write and 2.5Gbps read.
Please note that the StarTech M.2 NGFF USB 3.1 SATA Enclosure does not support Thunderbolt. Using your computers USB 3.0 port you will see speeds near your drives maximum, however due to many factors you will not reached the advertised numbers. This is not a limitation with this specific enclosure.
