Cool...literallyNot much chance of that happening any time soon so I checked the boxes and there’s no pads. I must have used them both.

Did you also use both the supplied 0.5 and 1.0 mm thermal pads on top of each other?Just make sure the thermalpad(s) touches the case so that the heat can dissipate. You want the ssd to be pretty snug in there. The case should get warm since samsung ssds tend to run pretty hot.
So how are you finding them, certainly appears some heft to them compared to the traditionally boxy designs. They've just been released , even more recently on Amazon.com. Whilst they materialized I had some Acasis TB coming and madly scrambled to search for availability in the EU. No sign on Amazon DE, OWC dealers around the country, were'nt aware of them even. The Part number starts with US so I wonder if that'll be the main or excusive market. On OWC's store it even said a max of 2 per customer.....and OWC 1M2 Express enclosure.
Oh you already spoke of it earlier on. Just the 1mm pad then. missed that entry when I asked before.Aye, it does. I used the thicker of the two pads and it's definitely touching the case - It's a very snug fit.

Edit: I've feeling if the 1M2 do make it to the EU then they'll probably cost with VAT 19% and heavier weight, around €170...just a wild educated guess. If the do enter that market.
Edit2: do you mind taking a pic of the Acasis next to the 1M2, just to gauge how they compare outside measurements.
I must have gone back and fitted the other pad after because they’re definitely not in the boxes and that’s where they would have been. I haven’t looked back but was that before I fitted the heatsink?Oh you already spoke of it earlier on. Just the 1mm pad then. missed that entry when I asked before.
Ok got ya. The Satachi isn't that much smaller. The OWC looks just so much cleaner. Anecdotally, I immediately thought the look akin to the wall radiators here in the EU. Nice.>I own Satechi, not Acasis.<
That or Amazon US seems to be the only possibility at the moment. I did see that retroactively they also added metric dimensions also, so perhaps it's coming into other markets.>I bought the OWC directly from their US site.<
I've "calmed" down a bit with fomo as I see that the OWC's, as cool as they are, quite substantially larger than the Acasis. Have the 1M2 measured about the size of an 13 Mini with the height of a MagSafe battery attached lol.Here are the OWC on the left, and Satechi on the other side. Hopefully these pics help.
I went with a cheap USB4 NVMe enclosure from Maiwo based on the Asmedia ASM2464PD controller chip. They have the K1695 and the K1717. It set me back $70 with taxes and shipping in EU.
This is the performance I get from it, which I would call very cost effective.

which enclosure do you prefer?
I was hoping you'd say you're also using Super Duper (SD) to let me know of the copy speeds you get with those Acisis enclosures.
That's kind of you but yesterday I received two of those Acasis for SD cloning (off and on-site) and have sent back the Sabrent USB-C 3.2 type for various reasons. I'll even get a third one once the return is refunded. Even TM was a speed demon with those quick SSD's I have but I guess as my internal isn't a slouch either and resources weren't overly affected.I'm using SD! to mirror my Internal to a TBU405 (just a SKHP31 inside) . . . anything I can highlight for you?

Getting those NVMe firmware updated..that's another matter.
Thank you
great built quality. Do you by any chance recall still, if you fitted both the supplied 1 mm and 0.5 mm thermal pads on top of each other?You're welcome![]()

the OWC
Cannot really see a huge imprint of the 1 mm thermal pad onto the SSD, hence wondered if 1.5 mm be the better way to go.That Express 1M2 is some seriously-awesome looking bit of kit![]()
that's interesting, would have guessed Amazon.uk be the first. Rang some importers/ stockists of OWC gear, here in DE and they had no information or even awareness of the product.The Express 1M2 is available in the UK from OWC's authorised outlets, Flexx and Megamac. Starting from £115 for a bare enclosure.

1M2: It is, just doesn't seem available outside the US. I'm at piece with it now as it's quite much larger than the Acasis and for my couching use. On a desk however, it would be fabulous.
It's shaped like a wing and will therefore be subject to undergo the Venturi effect of air rushing past at a higher velocity. You're onto somethingI {infamously} installed a Sabrent 2080 m.2 to a Syntec 'long-adapter' with discernible 'bowing' in my 2015 13" MBP with no thermal pad, with much cringe along-the-way:

It performs just fine
I would probably not put the 1M2 in my pocket (or bag), but it is an exceptionally sexy unit![]()
Agreed, it looks rather tasty. It's as though they copied my big heatsink ideaThat Express 1M2 is some seriously-awesome looking bit of kit![]()
