ICY DOCK USB 3.2 Gen 2 to U.2 NVMe SSD Adapter | EZ-Adapter Ex MB931U-1VB

works as intended for Type C. However, the USB Type A connectors are not reliable so use type C only for BOTH ends. I only used it with USB C and not tested with thunderbolt.

Der Adapter funktioniert generell, für mich auch ausreichend schnell. ABER: die Lösung ist sehr unsicher, weil wackelige Verbindung. Kleinste Bewegung am Kabel für zu Verbindungsverlust und logischerweise kaltem auswerfen am Betriebssystem. Ich habe die SSD mit Gummibändern an den Adapter "befestigt", dennoch sehr unsicher. Vielleicht ist es auch der USB-C Anschluß, falls ja, werde ich es austauschen lassen.

It gets the job done. But potentially can damage your ssd. The ssd wiggle after installation. For $150, there should be a chassis or a sleeve to hold the ssd stable.

I had a great hopes for this product, but the speed let me down big time. Just compare - first picture is the 3.2TB Samsung NVMe SSD connected using this adapter. Second picture is the same disk connected via PCIe card and a cable directly to PCIe x4. I tested another disk - 6.4TB Toshiba NVMe drive - same numbers. And Mac OS X compatibility? Yes, it sees the device and the disk, but when i tried to initialize it the system stuck on "creating the partition map" for about an hour. Could not wait more, so i just terminated the process and disconnected it. I will play with the adapter for couple of days but i inclined to just return it for refund and try something else. Icy Dock - you got me disappointed with this thing.

It would light up, but the drives plugged into it would never mount. I've tested the same U.2 drives and the cables with a different larger caddy and they all worked fine. So, I can confirm that this dock was the issue. Quite a bummer as I was really hoping that it would work. I returned it for refund.
