#Drive genius 4 ssd issues pro#

I really just need to get this drive working on my new M1 MacBook Pro so that I can edit PRORES video on location. The TB3 enclosure is not tested on the iMac (it's far away at my friend's house and I forgot to bring the enclosure with me). The Drive is tested perfectly on a 2019 iMac and PC with the USB-C enclosure, but fails to appear on my PC workstation via the TB3 enclosure. In summary, the M.2 SSD fails to connect to my M1 MacBook Pro with either a USB-C or TB3 enclosure using properly rated cables (and the OWC has a built-in TB3 cable). Expansion ports appear in device manager and have been tested with a successful TB3 connection to a QNAP server.
