ORICO M.2 2230 NVMe SSD Enclosure, 10Gbps USB C 3.2 Gen2 to NVMe Adapter Compatible with iPhone 15/16 Pro Max ProRes, M.2 Reader Supports UASP, Trim, M-Key(B+M Key) - TC20

I trust Orico and buy many of their other products. They are also responsive if you ever need to contact them through Amazon seller channels.As a PC tech, I often get orphaned 2230 NVMe drives and they are about impossible to move to other boards that cannot mount them. I then took one of those drives, wiped it and made it into a portable backup. It is NOT a travel backup, but what I use to sync my images collection on an image server that sits on my desk.

Great option for the price and I would definitely get another one if I had the need. The case and included cable both feel solid and the case is easy to get into without having to worry about opening up unintentionally. If I had to point out a shortcoming, the built in heatsink is useless without a thermal pad, but for your standard drives one typical thermal pad isn't thick enough to come into contact with it and two is too thick, so I have to loosen the screws on the heatsink so it'll sit lower in order for it to make contact with the thermal pad. Minor issue really, and wouldn't stop me from getting another.

It's a great small SSD enclosure. I use it with my VR headset

Make sure to decrypt ssd before replacing it. Perfect to convert ssd internal to external storage.

This works great for small file transfer sizes - 10gb or so.Anything beyond and this enclosure is not capable of dissipating heat off the drive and will torture it until write speeds settle in at about 10% of what they should be. Completely unacceptable.They do include two thermal pads - using one (as you would in any other product and by their own instructions included ) sees instantaneous thermal throttling. Using both gives it enough height to make contact with the metal postage stamp and allows transfers to go without throttling for about a minute or two longer.This suggests the manufacturer is aware of this defect, but rather then redesign their product is selling you junk that will ruin your storage.

If they included a little key chain on the unit it would be very convenient. If you just upgraded a rog ally or steam deck perfect little high-speed usb drive to put other games on and move things between computersUpdate:Flawed thermal design need to go buy a larger thermal pad just for the heatsink and ssd to make contact.However i do need to note for file transfers this is fine but for long use not sure didnt test yet.

Works ok. Does not dissipate heat well. Added in some extra thermal pad material to improve contact area and that did help, but the enclosure holds too much heat and the SSD will either thermal throttle or just stop all together.

Worked great for turning my extra ssd into an external and easy to tell when its properly connected thanks to the built in light. I recommend getting a separate heat sink kit though, the included one wasn't thick enough. With just the included heat sink kit it overheated fast.
