Hello,

I plan to buy "OWC Express 4M2" with 4 SSD 970 EVO M.2 2To

I would like to know if I can use this solution (Raid0) on a macpro 6.1 2013 with the apple thunderbolt 3 to thunderbolt 2 adpapter?

(We are on Macos El Capitan).

Thanks,
Alexis

II have been testing on the Mac Pro with a 4M2, good results. I have seen a couple failures with Samsung SSD's, probably anecdotal. But the enclosure is easy to set up with your NVRAM devices of choice.

the 3/2 adapter seems to work fine with these.

Not enough data to reply to this yet. SSD reliability is just not known in the marketplace.

But we hope to be able to start collecting data in the near future to help understand SSD reliability in the future.
Sorry!
