Don't expect to be able to keep this plugged in 24/7. On my server I never reboot, I've had it corrupt a drive twice forcing me to do a diskpart clean to get it back. Seems to be a common problem.
I've seen a handful of these RTL9210B enclosures around the sub 25 dollar range from SSK, Inateck, Fideco. I even saw another brand for less than 20 with an active coupon.
However, most of these enclosures I've noticed are the side out design.
I went with this enclosure over the other options due to this. Sabrent works better since the top lifts off and there is less potential of damaging the heat pad.
I have two of these and they've been very stable with several hours of active usage, but I haven't tested for 24/7 usage. I highly suggest updating the firmware right away to help fix any issues.

You can find the update firmware for the chipset here:
https://www.sabrent.com/download/ec-snve/

There are newer chipset firmware not from Sabrent, but I haven't tested those out yet. There is a thread on Anandtech forums about various chipsets version firmware and where to download them. It's a long thread, but it gives a lot of details about the RTL9210 chipset and the fixes the firmware versions have made.

Hope this helps!

It's a long read but basically all you need to know about the different chipsets and issues as well as firmware versions. Here are the drivers and configs to use for the RT9210(B) https://www.station-drivers.com/i...ang,en-gb/
Thanks for the links. I read the info in the first link but couldn't find the information on how to actually perform the firmware update. I imagine there is a special program that does this?

When you download whatever driver version you want from station-drivers, the zip file will have the software to use to update the firmware. For example, download 1.25.7 and you will have realtek_rtl9210_1.25.7.zip. Extract it and double click on UTHSB_MPtool_Lite_Mini and connect your enclosure to your PC and click "Update Device".

What's the best NVMe enclosure for new MacBook Pro 2021 models? Also, do I need a thunderbolt 3/4 cable for them to work?

Quote from MagentaCreature309 :
T7 has a theoretical 1050mbps on it bottlenecked by the drive inside I believe. Under $70 prob not. But I was able to get about 600 mbps with the 970 evo plus and this enclosure

The bottleneck is the 10 Gbit/s USB 3.2 interface, which is 1250 GByte/s (10000 bits divided by 8). Which in real life is realistically around the 1050 GBs that you mentioned.
You would need an enclosure with a controller that supports a faster standard (20 Gbit/s USB 3.2 2x2 or Thunderbolt which is even faster), but I am not sure such enclosures exist yet.

Naturally, your computer would need to have a port that could handle such speed too -- e.g., Thunderbolt.

BTW, people are very lax about bs vs Bs (as in GBs vs Gbs), but these mean different things:

capital B is bytes
lowercase b is bits
1 byte = 8 bits

1 GBs = 1 Gigabytes/s = 8 Gigabits/s (8 Gbs)

A lot of confusion stems from people using GBs and Gbs, as well as Mbs and MBs interchangeably.
Your speed is not 1050 mbs, it's 1050 MBs.
