Quick Summary
The Jorkar External SSD Enclosure is a USB-C 3.2 enclosure for 12+16 pin MacBook SSDs from the supported mid 2013 to 2017 range. It is a portable aluminium hard drive case with an indicator, and the SSD is not included.
It supports USB 3.2 Gen2 data transmission, with speeds stated as up to 20Gbps when both the SSD and computer support that rate. Lower speeds of 10Gbps or 5Gbps are also stated depending on the SSD and computer.
Who It Is Best For
This enclosure is for buyers who need to use a supported 12+16 pin MacBook SSD outside the original device. Confirm that your SSD matches the supported type before ordering, as it is not compatible with all SATA SSDs or third-party SSDs.
It is also a better fit for users who want a portable enclosure with an aluminium alloy case and a visible indicator.
