Sabrent EC-T3NS Reviews

Solid product, but has cable compatibility issue

By Mark
Rated 4 out of 5

I installed a 2TB Samsung 990 pro M.2 SSD in this little enclosure, and connected it to my M4 Mac mini and it works great. The tool-free enclosure is really nicely designed, and easy to install the SSD. However, the connector opening on the housing is too small. None of the OWC brand Thunderbolt cables I had would fit. Luckily I had an Apple Thunderbolt cable, which fit, so I didn't have to use the super short cable that comes with the unit. But that was annoying. Also, the enclosure comes with two pieces of thermal pad, but the instructions don't mention anything about them.

Lovely Looking SSD Case That Doesn't Last

I loved this SSD enclosure, it performed well, it looked like an Apple product, etc. Sadly it failed before being two years old. It seems to run very hot and maybe I left it on too long. Perhaps it would be ok if augmented with a heatsink.
