Good external Thunderbolt SSD dock? Hi, just wondering if anyone can recommend a good multi-bay external dock to hold SSDs? Preferably Thunderbolt? I was thinking it might be better trying to use multiple internal SSDs in an external dock for my work flow and archival purposes? Any advice or suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Where can I buy a hard drive for an Elecife Type docking station for an M1 Mac Mini I've bought from Amazon an Elecife USB-C hub with hard drive enclosure, Type C docking station & stand for an M1 Mac mini. Where can I buy a hard drive and can anyone recommend one that would be compatible? I can find any number of external hard drives for sale but I can't find a 2.5 inch hard drive and don't want to order something that won't work

Firewire drives not showing up on M2 Studio I've been using Firewire drives to back up my 2019 MacBook Pro and (until recently) 2013 Mac Pro. I want to use the same unit to backup my M2 Studio. For the MacBook Pro I've been using the Apple Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter, with the Lightning Firewire 800 adapter, and that's been working fine, even after the update to Sonoma. The 2013 Mac Pro had an OWC dock that had a Firewire 800 interface. Everything I've seen online indicates that the Apple Lightning adapter + Firewire adapter should still work. I can see the adapter show up: Hub GCE611U/GCE616U V1.1.102 Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter But neither of the Firewire 800 drives I connect show up. I've verified that both work with the MacBook Pro. How can I get this to work?

Not the capacity you use nut I am using the onset Echo Express thunderbolt 3 connected and three NVMe drives inside on three OWC PCl cards.. Works fine with zero problems.

I use a Kensington dock that has several TB ports along with USB ports. Just depends how fast you need.
