Dual external SSD enclosure

[Big Ron]

I have a couple of SSD 2.5“ drives that I would like to house in an external caddy/enclosure. I have had a search online but can’t find many that appeal. Has anyone experience of using one and if so where did you find it? Thanks.

I like OWC gear and they have this https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/MEMDC2KIT/ Holds two 2.5" SSD's in either RAID 0, RAID 1, span or as independant disks.

Thanks, that’s exactly what I want. I’m in the UK so will have to source one here. Have you one yourself and if so how does it perform for you?

I do not have that specific enclosure. I have an older version of this, which I have had for quite some time, https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/ME3QHKIT0GB/ which is Firewire 800 and esata and I have this https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/thunderbay-4-mini/thunderbolt-2

They both perform very well, which is why recommend OWC stuff.

OWC sells fantastic hardware. Their stuff isn't always the cheapest, but it's reliable and you get exactly what you expect. I can't say the same for almost any other accessory manufacturer/retailer.

Thanks for that. As per your link it’s available in the uk. I will consider further.

I've been using Oyen Digital MiniPro 2.5" enclosures for years, from back when Firewire was the fastest thing going. Their product is all aluminum and uses the latest chipsets for whichever types of connections it offers. They also offer a dual SSD enclosure, one that I have been using for over a year now. Its connection is USB-C gen 2 (10Gbps and compatible with Thunderbolt 3). The chipset is the ASMedia ASM1352R with UASP & TRIM.
