I experienced multiple issues using the TB3 enclosure with 4TB NVME SSD and 2 TB NVME SSD as a bootable Mac OSX Monterey APFS partition. The install would fail at different stages of the installation. If I was ble to get a version of MacOSX loaded the image would fail at the next MacOSX software update, I'm running a 2020 Mac Mini Intel system. I switched to a different enclosure by another comany and the issue goes away. I prefer to use your enclosure since its twice as fast. Any reason why this would fail? Mac OSX 12.3
SSD - Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB M.2 NVMe (MZ-V752T08/AM) & TeamGroup MP34 4TB with dram SLC Cache 3D And TLV NVME 1.3PCIe Gen 3 x 4 M.2
I was able to get the Samsung to work with a different enclosure and was also able to test software update. The speed of this enclosure is 1553MB/s. I Mprefer to get yours working but not sure what to do at this point.
You're most welcome, @acjrcas. Let's wait a little and see if it works in the upcoming released of OS update. At the same time, if to be sure, you may just try to see if it works normally on a Windows OS computer). Do feel free to contact us should you need any further clarification and assistance. Have a good one there!
It could very much be Moterey OS's issue. As there has been some users having issues with their SSD enclosures after the OS update. When they were all working normally prior to the update. One way to test it is that if you have any drive that is you could try it on a Windows OS computer (with its respective drive format) and see if it works normally and also with the speed that it should be at.
From what we know is that Samsung 970 EVO Plus has been in our incompatible list for both Mac OS and Windows OS. Loads of our customers have been having issues with Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD before. However, we've not quite sure about the TeamGroup MP34 one, not much has used before. If you're looking for SSD recommendations, we'd say it's good to get Samsung 970 PRO. And stay away from Sabrent's SSD for the time being.
