The one I got is defective. Only blue light is on the rest are deas

I am very happy with this enclosure. I used it for a while on a server as an external backup drive. The fan comes on in rather short bursts and keeps the temperature of of the drive at 49C. I can definitely recommend this enclosure.

Does what it says, and at such a reasonable price! Please watch the attached video for a detailed review. I've been using an Orico enclosure since 2 years but my SSD used to over heat so much that it would get ejected automatically. Pi Box has been great so far. The fan is totally silent. Transfer speeds are good too. I transferred nearly a terabyte of data within 37 mins. About 120GB took hardly 3 minutes. It didn't overheat. The supplied thermal pad is effective, and so is the overall heat dissipation. The company generously throws in a proper case, USB C-to-C and A-to-C cables and a few phone stand which is actually usable. What more can someone ask for, at INR 999? Installation was very easy and completely tool-less. The drive got detected on my MacBook M1 Max instantly, since it was already formatted. Size is convenient. It's well built too. But I'd wish they improve the plastic quality inside too - although it doesn't matter much because you are not going to be opening it frequently and the metal casing outside is quite sturdy.

I’m really impressed with this PiBOX enclosure. NVMe drives are notorious for overheating, but the built-in fan and thermal pad do a fantastic job of keeping temperatures stable. Even during long 100GB+ file transfers, I haven't noticed any thermal throttling, which was my biggest concern. What stands out: Design: The tool-free setup is very convenient—no screws to mess with. The aluminum body feels premium and sturdy. Performance: I’m getting consistent 10Gbps speeds over USB-C. It’s perfect for high-speed backups or even running apps directly from the external drive. Extras: Including both USB-C and USB-A cables, plus a dedicated carrying case, makes this a complete package that's ready to use out of the box. Verdict: The fan is quiet enough to be ignored but effective enough to protect your drive. If you want an enclosure that won't turn into a "hand warmer" during heavy use, this is the one to get.

It works and fit the nvme card. It gets close to the rated speed. It gets hot to the touch when transferring large amounts of file or large files.

Short Review: Speeds shows in pics are using the old USB 3.0 port. Also Excellent caring tech support. Long Review: 12 years old I had bought a 2.5 inch SATA enclosure and it was one of the best decisions ever from many points of view. Endurance and reliability are paramount to me and my SATA drive in USB 3.0 enclosure still both work but running out of space. So fast forward to now, I bought a gen 4, 2TB NVMe SSD, with high TBW and eventually plan to put SSD in a newer laptop down the line, but in the meantime wanted to use this drive as a backup drive so I needed enclosure for it and I came across this one and the specifications and feature just made the most sense. I am using a 11+ year old laptop with USB 2.0 & 3.0 ports ONLY. No USB 3.1 or 3.2 or 4 (which generally use a form factor USB-C type BUT / SO remember not all USB-C are USB 3.1 and above hence then you WILL get slower speeds if/because your computer/device has the older ports) After I got the drive and setup everything, I ran multiple speed test and have posted the results with this review. Now the best part of this enclosure is the after sales support. Here is the background, I contacted the support because during my testing of several GB of data over many hours, I noticed that the fan never came on. So I contacted them and let me tell you, the after sales just impressed me. I don’t know if it was 1 person or several individuals but I messaged with them several times over WhatsApp and each time this person(s) always had a thorough knowledge, understanding, and comprehension of their product … and SINCERE WILLINGNESS to help out their customer and put their customer FIRST. Even on weekends and around midnight hours, they would THOROUGHLY help you out... these are real geeks / nerds who know their stuff but with humility and professionalism help you understand what’s happening. They explained that 1) This is a smart fan (which I knew) but the fan kicks in if temperature crosses 63 degree for 30 seconds (Which I did NOT know). You open Crystaldiskinfo and check the temp. I checked on diskinfo my temp and it NEVER crossed 42 degrees Celsius… and probably never will if connected to USB 3.0. Likely only if connected to USB 3.2 will enough heat be generated, 2) Small fans have a limited life span hence even in laptops they are not always running but come on only when needed. 3) As seen by the temp monitor, the aluminum shell wicks away the heat efficiently passively without the fan, which probably will be scenario for most of us in most circumstances 4) They could have made this a cheaper product by keeping the fan always on but decided to include the extra circuit at extra cost to make it ‘smart’ so that in case you do end up generating heat beyond 63 degrees e.g. if connected to USB 3.2, then the product will not 'just' passively cool it but ALSO actively cool it with the fan. Just the right balance / optimization !! It gives me assurance that they have done everything that can be done to give my drive and enclosure the maximum endurance and reliability. Everything has been though of. Both types of cables are included ... USB A to C … and USB C to C… both cables have management Velcro straps … great enclosure case …. And tools free installation of drive in the enclosure … And the packaging was excellent. I’m more than satisfied with this product and want to say thank you to their excellent support, which I did not expect by a company unknown to me.
