ORICO M.2 NVME SSD Enclosure 40Gbps PCIe3.0x4 USB Type-C Aluminum Adapter, NVME 2280 M-Key(B+M Key) External Solid State Drive Case,Compatible with Thunderbolt 3/4 USB3.2/3.1/3.0/Type C-M208-Silver

I bought bit around 2500, although product page clame 10Gbps ~ 100MBps(which is) but i am using wd SN570 500Gb ssd with M1 MacBook air base model, but after testing wih Blackmagic disk tester getting 1Gb test around 700 MBps write aand 700Mbps read, and 5GB test 650-670 MBps read write and in practical copying 87Gb file from mac's internal ssd to my drive takes around 4min 50 sec. I don't have any usb 3 enabled windows machine so no idea on windows, all this test is done when my drive is formatted using GUID partitions map and Exfat fie system. Over all quality of product is good 👍 definitely recommend, and use included cable which is good, in quality. Don't buy orico's transparent cases they are extremely scratch prone i have orico's transparent hdd enclosure it was good in new but after 1.5 years of use now it is full off scratch". Overall good design good temp management definitely recommend..

This device ORICO USB3.1 Gen2 Type-C M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure doesn't work with M1 MacBook Pro, MacOS Sanoma. The OS doesn't detect this device on USB-C port with the cable cable which came with this device, but when one uses the same cable with USB 3.0 adapter the device gets detected.I have searched the internet for some solution like driver update etc but with no success.I would not recommend this device to any Mac user.

The Orico NVMe M.2 SSD 40Gbps Enclosure has a nice visual appeal with aluminum alloy metal construction, which helps the NVMe SSDs with heat dissipation, thus lowering the operating temperature.The unit has a single USB-C Thunderbolt port in one end, with a pinhole for the status LED.There is a 2-in-1 USB-C Thunderbolt cable included with a USB-A adapter, thin thermal fin, thermal pad, two screws, and manual.There is also a small screwdriver included, since a screw is holding the cover to access the M.2 slot and a screw is required to hold the M.2 SSD in place.The Orico NVMe M.2 SSD Enclosure is plug and play and it draws power from the host device.It is compatible with Thunderbolt 3 & 4 and it supports 40Gbps theoretical data transfer rate.The enclosure is also compatible with USB 3.0, 3.1, 3.2 Gen 2, 3.2 Gen 2×2, and even USB 2.0.I tested a couple of Hynix M.2 SSDs and none showed on a 13" MacBook Pro. I then connected the enclosure to a Windows laptop and both SSDs worked with read speed of 22.4Gbps (3000 MB/s), but the read speed was below 3.2Gbps (400MB/s).I contacted Orico support. They replied in timely manner with basic info about formatting, heat and such.But also asked "What do you think it is still acceptable?".Well 3.2Gbps (400MB/s) should not be acceptable on a Thunderbolt enclosure over Thunderbolt 4 port.I was able to get several M.2 NVMe SSDs to test, and half of them worked on MacBook Pro and MacBook Air.I had issues with Hynix SSDs, since none of them worked on Mac when in the enclosure.Also a Samsung evo did not show on a Mac until a firmware update was installed.All SSDs (Intel, WD, SP, Hynix, KLEVV, Samsung and Microfrom) worked on Windows, but with very low write speeds.I made sure to use a couple of SSDs, in the mix, that could reach write speeds of 38.4 Gbps (4800 MB/s) and read speeds of 40 Gbps (5000 MB/s)The max data transfer speed on Mac reached 18.8Gbps and on Windows 22.4Gbps...still the write speed was below USB 3.0 speeds.I used ExFAT and APFS formatting on Mac and ExFAT and NTFS formatting on Windows.For some reason the Orico enclosure is working over USB Bus on both Windows and Mac. I used a couple of other TB enclosures and they work over the TB3 or TB4 Bus.There are several products listed together with different specifications. Some of them appear to match the advertised speeds and some other do not, which could be a bit confusing.At this price point, I was expecting better performance...at least 22Gbps ( 2750 Mb/s) read and write speeds.These experience let me to assume that this Orico 40 Gbps enclosure it just capable of 20Gbps. It also works with some NVMe controllers.It will have been useful if Orico states that this is a USB4 enclosure with Thunderbolt™ 3 controller (as stated on their website); instead of just using the words "M.2 NVME SSD Enclosure 40Gbps...Compatible with Thunderbolt 3/4".USB4, TB3 and TB4 are not the same when it comes to requirements, standards and performance. There are minimum requirements for each platform and that is where the real difference becomes apparent.USB4 as well as TB3 and TB4 could reach 40Gbps (theoretical), but USB4 minimum requirement is just 20Gbps.I don't know if I received a defective unit, but since I already have USB 3.1 NVMe enclosures with better write speeds that this unit and 5x cheaper, I decided to return it.If you have just one SSD, and not looking for top speed this will be an OK device.Also there are tool-less units that cost less and perform better and are more useful when swapping SSDs.I would have preferred clear specifications about the unit, to prevent confusing users.I was expecting better performance (20-22 Gbps) at this price point.

Very solid metal enclosure for heat dissipation AND a real TB4/USB4 cable. The performance with this is phenomenal. You might think the price is a bit steep but most other units like this make you purchase the cable separately. Very satisfied with this purchase.

内蔵SSDを交換した際に、余ったSSDを有効活用しようと思い購入しました。しかしながら、Thunderbolt3互換であるにもかかわらず書き込み性能が非常に悪い結果となりました…ケーブルも以前購入したThunderbolt用のものを使用してますが、なぜこんなに遅いのか不明です。ちなみに画像2枚めのものがPC接続時の速度になります…Reed性能はまあまああるので星3つとします。

The ORICO M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure works but has issues.1. Typically hangs on large file transfers or the speed drops into the KB/s range until it's disconnected and re-connected. I tested a transfer of 1.2TB of data, the transfer would slow to a crawl at around 400GB transferred. Of the 2 40Gbs enclosures, only 1 of them expresses this issue.2. Removing the NVME module from the enclosure's module cooler is extremely difficult. The cooler is built to 'clip on' to the nmve module with no regard for how you would remove it.note: the testing was done with 3 different nvme modules with similar results, the time at which the module slows differs but still occurs. Samsung 890 and 990 PRO modulesI would not recommend purchasing the ORICO M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure

Review - ORICO NVMe Enclosure Aluminum USB C to M.2 SSD Enclosure Reader, USB 3.2/3.1 Gen 2 10Gbps to NVMe M-Key External M2 Adapter Support UASP Trim Smart (Fits NVMe SSDs 2230/2242/2260/2280)-M206-Silver-This orico brand nvme seems decent. I only have a few qualms.-SPEEDUsing a budget 1TB Western Digital WD-550 nvme drive. I was able to achieve decent read and write speeds with this nvme usb enclosure plugged into a 10Gbps socket on a desktop computer. I've attached an image showing the CrystalDiskMark software tool performance information. The drive achieved 1008.86 on the sequential read test, and this not any kind of super high speed nvme drive. In fact, the performance is bound by the limits of the USB connection, not by the drive's maximum capabilities.-CRITICISMSThere isn't a manual in the box. This product comes nicely packaged, as though for retail sale, but inside the packaging, there isn't any kind of manual, not even a one or two page pamphlet.-Although there seems to be a hole in the PCB board for a screw where the nvme drive gets mounted, ORICO does not include one of the tiny nvme screws to secure it, and it isn't apparent whether or not the hole in the pcb is threaded. Consequently the drive is only held tight in the enclosure by the included heat sink that provides some pressure against the outside of the enclosure.-COMPLIMENTSThe enclosure is all aluminum, and seems designed to act as a heatsink for the nvme drive inside it.-The enclosure is opened and closed with a single tiny screw on the back (bottom) side of the drive. This is satisfactory. You'll need your own tiny jeweler's screw driver, not the smallest, the next to smallest phillips head.-So, all in all, this drive isn't quite perfect. However, this may be the best nvme enclosure, for the price, that you'll find for sale on the amazon website.
