Aura Envoy Pro for Apple 2013 SSDs OWC

Works fine, looks good, but boy is it expensive.Essentially the same sort of thing as you can get for SSDs for PC, but four times the price. Unfortunately none of the non-OWC enclosures seem to work with Mac. I spent days researching them and even bought one such alternative on Amazon only to have to return it later b/c it didn't work despite what the seller said.I get that Mac stuff costs more and that most of the time it's worth it, but you probably got this solely so you could wipe your old SSD before selling it, after upgrading your computers SSD. So you'll use it once then sell it online (luckily you can get an ok price for it that way).Giving it 4 stars since the thing itself works fine.

My 2015 mid macbook pro (work laptop) just fried and died. Had 4 years worth of work on it, (Im a designer).Spoke to apple business, and they reccomended this unit. As its the same unit they use in apple stores for data recovery.The unit is proper top spec, made from the same material as apple products. The ssd clicks in easy. You must plug this into a mac os computer via usb 3.0. Or use an adapter to usb C. Got all my work back. Now can use this unit as a really nice top end external harddrive. And now looking for a good cloud storage plan, as ive been stressing my head off for theblast 48hours.Also buy the reccomended screw set for this unit via here on amazon, I didn't. Now I'm waiting till tomorow for that now. Duh.Peace x

This product is eye-wateringly expensive for an SSD caddy, but is ruggedly built out of solid aluminium and comes with its own storage pouch. (It would be nice it the pouch were big enough to hold both the caddy and the USB cable though)Given that this is pretty much the only caddy on the market that is compatible with SSDs from the 2013 “Trashcan” Mac Pro, there isn’t too much incentive to offer a more competitive price point.

I initially bought this to retrieve data from a customers liquid damaged MacBook Pro 13" Mid-2014 A502 Sandisk PCIe SSD. It did the job well and works on both Mac OS and Windows 10 (I use HFSExplorer to read Mac formatted drives). It's easy to set up and easy to use and I've got absolutely no complaints about what it does. The problem is the price. If this was an external SATA drive bay it would cost no more than £15. Considering it's not particularly well made and the USB connector doesn't feel like it's up to much, the price is hard to swallow. Sadly, there are few alternatives available. As a tool, I highly recommend it but the cost is ridiculous. Hopefully it will last long enough to pay for itself!

My Apple MacBook Pro was damaged by wine. I recovered the SSD. Apple again is unique and finding a Holder for data transfer was difficult. This was the only device I found for the Apple SSD...but at 4x the price for a standard PC SSD Holder.!! plus I had to buy MacDrive Software to transfer the contents to a Windows 10 PC.So value for money certainly not. But necessary if you need the Data from an Apple Computer.
