Thank you for your interest in the Solidigm™ D5-P5336 122.88TB SSD.

Regarding the use of this drive as external storage on a Mac system, Solidigm recommends connecting SSDs directly to a supported motherboard whenever possible. While third-party adapters, enclosures, and Thunderbolt™ solutions may function correctly, Solidigm does not validate or recommend specific enclosure or adapter vendors, nor do we provide support for third-party connectivity solutions.

When using adapters or enclosures, compatibility depends on several factors, including proper protocol translation, power delivery, operating system support, and whether the enclosure correctly exposes the SSD information to the host system.

Additionally, because Apple hardware and macOS environments are highly customized, we recommend consulting Apple regarding compatibility with third-party NVMe storage devices and external storage solutions before making a purchasing decision.

Your use case is particularly interesting to us, and we would like to learn more. To better understand your project and investigate whether additional guidance may be available, we have created a support case on your behalf and will follow up with you privately.

Thank you for considering Solidigm for your storage needs.
