No hate but possible to put speeds in title or description next time? The speeds could nerf the crap out of every ssd if it's not ultra fast USB c speed capibility.

No hate, but try reading the thread. Features: 10 Gbps transfer rate.

Seems there's a thermal pad to cooling vest that makes contact with the aluminum shell. So basically the whole thing becomes a heat sink, for better or worse.
No the shell slides on

Deal worked for me, $10.71 after taxes. This will be nice to use with my original Steam Deck SSD (I upgraded from 64GB to 256GB). Doesn't hurt to have extra external storage.

Thanks! My laptop is dying and I need to grab the data off an nvme drive. Perfect timing for this deal.

Here's a similar enclosure [amazon.com] on Amazon for $9.48. There's a special promotion to get 2 for $15.55 right now ($7.77 ea), with no coupon needed. The product says the color is silver, but it's actually a very attractive metallic blue.

It also uses the RTL9210B chipset and it works very well. I've bought 3 of them now.

Advantages of OP's Orico enclosure
  • It includes a thermal pad.
Advantages of my similar enclosure
  • It includes both a USB-C to USB-C cable (works at 10 Gbps) and a USB-C to USB-A cable for 5 Ggbps. Both are pretty good quality and about 1 ft.
Both
  • Tool-less / screwless. Any 2230,2242,2260, or 2280 m.2 card will snap in the plastic retaining holders on my linked enclosure. The Orico seems to hold the card in place with the heat sink.
While the thermal pad and cooling vest (?) might help on the Orico, I haven't found need for a thermal pad on mine except for a 2230 NVME that runs hot.

RTL9210B units have many different firmware versions over the last few years. My 3 units have the pretty recent 1.29 firmware from late last year while the absolute latest firmware is 1.32.91. There is a firmware updater for these but it's only from Realtek and has a chance of bricking your unit. It's best not to seek out the updater unless you have major issues.

Someone here could see what this Orico is shipping with.

A lot of discussion happens on this page [station-drivers.com] about the various firmwares and vendors using the Realtek chipset.

Realtek is not the best chipset in this category, but it works well and it's economical. The ASMedia ASM2364 chipset is the best, but the enclosures are much more expensive.

Some people have reported disconnects with RTL9210B enclosures after many hours of connectivity on Linux under certain situations. Personally I've had no disconnect problems under Windows 10/11 on multiple computers. I can also note that Windows To Go works excellent on one of these. I used a laptop with a broken internal SSD connector (Thinkpad T570) running Windows 10 via USB-C from this enclosure for several days and it worked well.

Because these enclosures use UASP, you also get TRIM and all other NVME capabilities you would get if it was directly attached. On Linux, you can use Smartctl to read pertinent information from the SSD. EDIT: I was wrong about using nvme-cli to sanitize (Secure Erase) the drives via command line -- The nvme-cli developers do not want to spend time making their software work through UASP enclosures like this.

I attached a quick picture to show you what to expect from the link I provided.

Edit #2: I tried submitting this as a slickdeal and it was denied because the seller doesn't have a 750 seller rating.

As I mentioned, no coupon is needed. Just add 2 to your cart and check out. You will see 2 discounts on the check out screen.

Expensive storage if you can get 240gb for 18 dollars. https://slickdeals.net/f/17372742-teamgroup-t-force-vulcan-z-slc-cache-3d-nand-tlc-sata-iii-ssds-480gb-28-240gb-18-free-shipping?src=SiteSearchV2Algo

Yeaa, that's gonna stick out too much lol. Was thinking more of an enclosure not an adapter. But that is interesting, didn't know such an adapter existed lol

Are you a troll?

Things have to exist in 3D space.

Also, this is no different than the one you supposedly already have. The adapter only adds another 1/4" tops, because again, things have to exist in 3D space. Throw a right angle adapter on it if you don't like which direction it points.

If you're still irrationally worried about it sticking out too far, get a 2230 enclosure.

Or, like I said originally, a thumb drive.

My device is mounted high. A cable would make it just dangle.

Lol don't get so worked up.
