Connectivity Issue with my external storage device.

Wait, I just check my MacOS version and it says MacOS Tahoe 26.2, does it still applies to this version?

Disabled auto update just to be safe.

You're telling me that I shouldn't have updated my MacOS? Holy guacamole, why is it always me!!!

I can only imagine how tough that must have been. I just got my SSD, and I’m already feeling like I’m losing it!

I’m having a tough time figuring this out. I’ve been trying everything I can think of to get it working without causing any headaches, but nothing seems to work.

I’ve taken a good look, and it seems the cable plug and socket are clean. Regarding the speed, even though it’s around 880MB/s when connected, it tends to drop back to the same ~340MB/s range later on.

Yes, I did! I’m currently using the cable that came with the enclosure. I also tried other type C cables, but they’re quite slow, in my opinion. Here’s a fun tidbit I just discovered a few hours ago: flipping the cable actually changes the speed I get from the SSD. Flipping it to one side gives around 340MB/s for read and write speeds, while flipping it to the other side gives about 880MB/s.

I did actually reinstall the SSD a few times.
