Hi, I have just bought a new Samsung QVO 860 and have used an external SSD enclosure (Orico USB type C 2.5inch enclosure) to make it work as an external SSD. However, when connecting to my MacBook Pro (running Mojave) it does not show in finder and disk utility. I’ve also tried using software like texura to try and initialise it but the ssd still does not show up. Is it because of some type of compatibility issues with the GVO 860 and Mac OS?
SATA is SATA so the drive is not your issue! If you had a older Unibody MacBook Pro which offered an internal SATA port it would work without a problem. Your Orico case has the needed logic to convert the SATA interface to USB-C or Thunderbolt3. Are you sure its able to work with your MacBook Pro?
Format the drive APSF and your Mojave will see it.
