Whats a different between this one and (VE) version
VE is faster… 2600MB/s, Sonnet Fusion territory. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W603XNImXt0
Is there an adaptor for thunderbolt 2 to be used on older macbook pro’s?
Nope.
Apple does sell a Thunderbolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3 adapter. https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MMEL2AM/A/thunderbolt-3-usb-c-to-thunderbolt-2-adapter . I wonder if with that adapter I could use this as an external SSD for my 2011 iMac.
Benjamin Spence don’t provide false information
Don Folders that one is older thunderbolt drives —> newer c/t3 inputs such as new MacBook. What u and I are both probably looking for our older macs is probably a old thunderbolt drive enclosure like the g tech ones and chain that to some sata or esata drives or external enclosures. I think why rare is they stop pushing older thunderbolt peripherals and didn’t lower esata that much to push us towards the newer standards. Well played lol. Look into the g technology thunderbolt 1/2 and esata older drives. They might work for u but they’re not really bargains though
How long until that built in cable gets bent too much, ceases working and you have a useless paper weight.
Seems pretty robust to me, but it has a 3-year warranty just in case.
The non-detachable thunderbolt cable is a dealbreaker for me.
Still pretty pricey. Wish that cable was detachable. I suppose if you’re moving huge files around, maybe 4k video for example, it could be nice. I think I’ll stick with my T5, though. Cheaper, detachable cable, and still a bloody fast SSD. Oh, and significantly smaller.

In the Apple world, the OWC products are a must.
You can’t change the cable if it’s broke. You should consider before buying!!!
I’m a fan of OWC, but in this case I’ll take the Samsung T5 which is much smaller and more portable and fast enough for my purposes.
The G-Drive mobile SSD has a removable TB3 cable which is important to me, and is plenty fast enough.
shitty cable
To everyone complaining about the cable, I don’t think it’s a huge deal and I don’t see it kinking unless you really try to, but I’ve only used it for a few days. There is a 3-Year warranty included, just in case.
Can anybody use that BlackMagicDesign speed tester??
Yep

Sorry for being a stickler, but the Amazon link is to the more expensive and faster Envoy Pro Ex (Ve) that costs a $1,000 for 1T but supposedly reaches 2,600 MB/s.
OWC has terrible customer service so I would keep looking for other drive options. The support, or lack there of, on the MacPro SSD upgrades that can’t install the latest macOS is ridiculous.
Reasonable price? I thought, you mentioned $500-odd. Is that considered “a reasonable price” for a 1TB drive (nevermind SSD and Thunderbolt).
Does it work in Windows via boot Camp? Must be a slow nvme drive in this unit.
