"I bought this case in hopes of using it with a Samsung 960 NVMe 2280 m.2 SSD, that I wanted to connect, via Apple's thunderbolt 3 to thunderbolt 2 adapter, to my trash can Mac Pro.

Here is an Amazon comment concerning the Trebleet enclosure connected to a Mac Pro 2013 If this helps you, please let me know! I do my best to help as many people as possible! Computers can have any and all of them.”'' Phones typically will have USB 2/3, charging, and maybe HDMI and/or audio.

Also can depend on the cable connecting the devices together. ''But, and this is a big one, that all depends on what the device manufacturer has enabled.

Plus a couple more I'm probably forgetting. USB-C can host USB2/3/3.1, Thunderbolt 3, Audio, Display port, HDMI, and Ethernet. Think of USB-C as the physical port, and Thunderbolt 3 as the protocol. I know this is probably confusing, I actually had to look it up too. So really, all the other ones would be equivalent to getting a USB 3.0 enclosure. Only SOME of those USB-C enclosures are equipped with Thunderbolt 3 speeds. The drawbacks, is that this is pretty expensive, and you’d have to buy M.2 SSDs, which are not cheap either.

Connect the adapter to your Mac and boom, you’re in business with a 20 Gbps speed.

Get a Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter.

Get a SSD drive enclosure with a Thunderbolt 3 interface, like this one.

So, I would suggest sticking with a USB 3.0 drive enclosure, especially because your Mac has USB 3.0 ports.īUT, if you’re really obsessed with maxing out the transfer speeds, what you might be able to do, is: In both cases, there’s a point where your max speed is degraded/maxed at 5 Gbps, which is still a fast speed.

As we say in the computer world, your transfer speed is only as fast as your slowest link.

SSD Enclosure -USB 3.0 Cable (5 Gbps)->USB 3.0 to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter (5 Gbps) -> Thunderbolt 2 Port (Decreased to 5 Gbps).

SSD Enclosure -Thunderbolt2 Cable (20 Gbps)->Thunderbolt 2 to USB 3.0 Adapter (5 Gbps) -> USB 3.0 Port (5 Gbps).

There’s only two possibilities with USB and Thunderbolt

Using an adapter would serve no real purpose to you.

This is most likely because of the recent arrival of Thunderbolt 3.0/USB-C

I can’t find any hard drive enclosures that use Thunderbolt 2 as their interface.

So, clearly Thunderbolt 2 is faster 4x faster.

Understand the desire to have super fast transfer speeds, especially with external drives.
