Make sure you're using the right cable and connector

I bought this device to use for video editing on my new Mac Mini. I first connected it with the USB-C cable I had. The transfer speeds were so discouraging that I started thinking of a plan B (37.7 MB/s write and 40.8 MB/s read). Luckily I tried the cable that came with it instead of sending in the SSD. Plugging into a USB port resulted in much faster speeds (419.8 MB/s writing and 426.4 MB/s reading). /s read).

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • I'm having problems
