Enclosure

[Porkchop Sandwich]

I have a spare PCIe-based drive that was salvaged from a late 2013 rMBP that went tits-up on me (512gb Samsung if memory serves). I’d like to place it into an external USB-C enclosure and I’m hoping to solicit recommendation for one from the community. Cheaper is better, but junk not welcome.

Many thanks.

Here's a USB 3.0 example - https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/MAU3ENPRPCI/
Unfortunately, not cheap. More than I would be willing to pay, but nice case anyway.

Keep in mind that the Apple drive has a proprietary PCIe connection, so you are limited in what that card can be used in. The OWC enclosure should at least work.
If you go with OWC, contact their support. I THINK they have a USB-3.1 enclosure, but can't find it on their site.

Thank you DM..a bit more than I'd like to spend for such a thing but it appears choices are limited. Guess I'll pick one up lest the usable drive going to waste.
