Transcend StoreJet SSD: Can I put another SSD into this enclosure?

Sat, 11 Jan 2020 13:56:34 -0700

I have the storejet 500 SSD with 256gb, however, I’d like to put a larger ssd into it, probably a 1 or 2tb samsung evo. This is because it has a thunderbolt 1 port and most other enclosures have usb3 or tb3, neither of which suit my old iMac (21.5, mid 2011). I’d like to put my entire internal drive onto an external ssd and boot from it. Before opening the enclosure i’d like to know if it can be done or will opening it break it?

thanks

Colm

Transcend StoreJet SSD: Why does my Transcend StoreJet 500 not detected by my Surface Pro?

I have two external hard drives. The one mentioned above and a Verbatim 1TB. The Verbatim has no problem, but my Surface Pro 4 fails to recognize the Transcend StoreJet SSD.

When plugged in it goes on and off and it cancels all other devices on the docking station. The docking station needs to be rebooted again for it to recognize the other devices again eg. hard drives or other memory sticks and only when the StoreJet was physically removed.

I had no problem with the StoreJet drive on my previous laptop. It even does it when I plugged it in directly onto the Surface Pro 4.
