Right SSD enclosure for MAC Mini M4
Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2025
Model: WL-ST401CVerified Purchase

I got this for my base mac mini m4 and has been a great purchase. The case comes with a good and short thunderbolt 4 cable that sits perfect next to the Mac mini. The thermal pads provided are good quality and the metal enclosure helps in dissipating the heat efficiently. I have been using this combo for over 2 months now and I will say it has never had any issue like disconnecting or throttling the speed with my 2 tb Nvme ssd.

Highly recommended for Thunderbolt 4 external storage applications.

Very well made, solid, easy to install SSD. High quality and blazingly fast!
Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2024
Model: WL-ST401CVerified Purchase
My old MBP seemed to be slowing down so I thought I would upgrade my external drives and cables. I got this along with an NVMe SSD, new Thunderbolt 4-rated cables and it's made a huge difference. This unit does come with a T4-rated cable, but I wanted to make sure all my drives were working at their fastest.
I used Black Magic Designs software to test all my cables and drives.
Now when I use Photoshop or other data-intensive apps my system doesn't bog down. It's amazing how fast this is when you have all the right components!
The first photo is my "old" drive a Samsung T5 SSD, the second photo is my new enclosure with a Samsung 990 EVO. It's almost 5X faster!

This thing is quite fast, about as fast as the internal drive on my new Mac Mini M4 Pro. I have a 2TB SSD in it. When it works it works very well. BUT I've been having reliability problems with it. I've been getting notices from Mac OS that the drive "isn't being ejected properly" which means it keeps shutting off. This has been a real problem in music making, which is it's primary job. This device runs VERY hot, and i think the heat is causing reliability problems.

5 Months later DEAD!
Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2025
Model: WL-ST401CVerified Purchase
I purchased 2 of these back in August of 2024. Using them with Samsung SSD drives (2TB each). I go back and forth between Raid 0 and just using them individually between Macs. The build quality is nice, and the speeds are great. Then over the past month they would start to disconnect and then reconnect. Never happened when I first got them. This now happens on all 3 of my Macs, EVERYDAY! Now I'm having to spend more for a replacement. I would highly recommend finding another product other than this one.

Definitely getting money's worth...as advertised.
Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2024
Model: WL-ST401CVerified Purchase
Comes with the case, cable, and thermal pad x 2. It comes with a rubber screw to hold the NVME down at the other end...took a bit to get that settled in. It also comes with the silicone to place it over the casing to keep it from moving when placed on surface...nice touch. I ended up using both thermal pad because I don't think single pad was enough to touch the case cover to dissipate the heat. Getting acceptable NVME rated speed on it, so I do believe it is providing Thunderbolt 4 level of speed. Using it for the M4 MacMini. No complaints.

This is a great wee unit, very solid and VERY fast. Easily running a 3Gbps when paired with a Corsair gen4 2TB stick.

It does get noticeably hot though, so situating with some ventilation and not in direct sun is a good idea.

現時点でUSB4環境がなく性能を活かしきれていないのですが、とりあえずUSB 3.2 Gen2で読み書きしたところほぼ理論値上限が出ました。
放熱についても室温15℃の環境で20分程度データの読み書きをした時点ではほんのり温かくなったものの、熱くなるようなことはなく、問題なさそうでした。
収納ポーチ、シリコンカバーなどの付属品があり、説明書は英語のみで日本語対応していませんが内容はしっかりしていると思います。
