Hey all,
I have a 2.5" 1TB Samsung 860 EVO drive that I need a small (and fast) case for. I can't stomach giving Apple $400+ after tax for an upgrade from 512GB to a 1TB drive in this new MBP I just got yesterday. I have a drive (mentioned above) and I have a case already which is the Sobrent (I think it's called) but it has the old USB-A style connector (connected to the MBP via a A style to C style converter dongle). I transferred some files to some other 120GB drive in that case and it took quite a while so I'm not sure if its the case that was the bottleneck or the drive. I can't try the 1TB Samsung (yet) as it's still in my old MBP.
Is there a small little enclosure that's Thunderbolt 3 or a really fast USB standard that is known to work well (and fast) with the ports on the 2018 MBP? Trying to bridge the gap of not having a 1TB drive in this thing and searching the forums wasn't very clear on what I was looking for. Any input would be appreciated - thank you!
