Our take
This OWC Express 1M2 is an excellent choice for anyone looking to build a blazing-fast external NVMe SSD. The 80Gb/s transfer rate via Thunderbolt/USB-C is incredibly impressive, making it ideal for creative professionals working with large files on the go. Since it's an enclosure, you provide your own M.2 NVMe drive, which allows for customization of capacity and brand. The USB-powered feature is convenient, eliminating the need for an external power brick. While it requires an additional purchase of an NVMe drive, the flexibility and raw speed make it a worthwhile investment for peak performance.
