Review on πŸ”Œ OWC Envoy Pro 0GB Portable USB 3.1 Gen 1 Cable Storage Solution for MacBook Pro with Retina Display (Models MacBookPro10,1 and MacBookPro10,2) by Kimberly Bourque

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The user manual states that the enclosure will not work with other brands of SSDs (including other OWC SSDs). However, I used the QNINE mSATA to A1398 adapter with a Samsung 860 EVO 500GB mSATA SSD and the computer registered the drive with no problem. I just couldn't close the case because one day .

Works! I upgraded my Macbook Pro Retina mid 2012 and the original Apple SSD came and showed up after installation. Incidentally, the user manual states that the enclosure does not work with other brands of SSDs (including other OWC SSDs), but I used the QNINE mSATA to A1398 adapter with a Samsung 860 EVO 500GB mSATA SSD and the computer did the drive registered just great . I just couldn't close the case as it became too thick for the case after stacking the adapter and mSATA SSD together. That didn't stop me from restoring my original Apple SSD to a new Samsung SSD! Just plugged in the USB cable and it worked. I now have a nice 240GB external storage which is smaller than other drives. I'm not sure what I'm going to use it for though.

Pros
  • Easy Installation
Cons
