Is it compatible with the WD Black SN850X 8TB SSD?
Asked by: Kurt
Yes. I have two of the OWC cases with the same "WD 8TB WD_BLACK SN850X Gaming Internal NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD", and both work flawlessly. Used on a MacBook Pro M4, a Mac Studio M1 Ultra and a Mac Studio M3 Ultra. Be aware the OWC case doesn't accept a SSD with heatsink, so make sure the SSD you're installing doesn't have one.

The expected speed of the OWC Express 1M2 USB4 External SSD Enclosure will generally be limited by the SSD's capabilities, not the enclosure's maximum speed; you should expect the speeds to be close to the rated speeds of your PCIe Gen3x4 SSD.
