Strengths:
Attractive black metal enclosure...matches the new Mac Mini 2018. 2 types of cable included although I only needed the Tb to Tb. Seems to play well with MacOS Mojave and the APFS file system and my Samsung EVO 860 1TB SSD. Even includes a screwdriver.
Weaknesses:
Minor niggle... would prefer to have the drive activity LED on the front edge rather than the cable side of the enclosure.
Additional Comments:
Seems to be well designed overall with good fit and finish. Had no issues installing the SSD. It has a 5Vdc power plug at the back but seems OK with the power provided by the Tb port.

Strengths:
Quality of enclosure.
Complete package included screws, screw driver and rubber feet.
Performance.
Additional Comments:
Used this with a 256 GB Samsung 850 EVO SSD on a 2017 iMac. The same drive in a USB 3.0 enclosure and port had given read speeds of around 420 MBs and write speeds of 100-400MBs. In this USB C enclosure and port it gave read 520 MBs and write 280 - 480 MBs .
