its a good enclosure, reaches the documented speeds. the heat sink is tight fit, make sure you use it
on the drive you plan to use it on. I put on smaller drive to test it, and now the heat sink is stuck.
They do not offer replacement heat sinks, and finding a heat sink which will fit and still close has been a challenge.
Thank you for this resource. Note the item above description states it's for NVME, NOT SATA. As the family tech guy. I don't want to worry about which type will be in the laptops my tech-challenged family purchase and I eventually clone into new drives.
I'll probably pass for one that supports both.

A minor correction there... (your incorrect abbreviations notwithstanding)
1 GB = 1,000 MB
10 GB = 10,000 MB

Also, need to be careful mixing unit abbreviations and letter case. (I'm gonna guess this was unintentional on your part, but your post was technical in nature, sooo...)
10Gbps = 10 Gigabits per second.
1000MB/s = 1000 Megabytes per second = 1 Gigabyte per second

There's 8-bits to 1-Byte.
10 Gbps or 10 Gb/s = 800 MB/s
10 GBps or 10 GB/s = 10,000 MB/s

(Current) Storage speeds are typically measured in GB/s
(Current) Network speeds such as wireless throughput are typically measured in Mb/s, or Gb/s if it's a wired connection.)

I bought one of these and it works fine with my Pcie 3.0 drive. I used it to duplicate my old 1tb drive to my new 2tb drive. Worked fine with no major issues.

It can get a little warm but never got super hot for me. I used he thermal pad it came with so the case will get warm as it acts like the heatsink.

Quote from NoDa :
That is not the same enclosure. That deal was for NVMe + SATA, this current deal is only for NVMe compatible.
if you'd read the original post, you'd see that it was indeed for both. it was revised once the nvme-only enclosure deal expired

I just used this for the 2 TB western digital 770 and it immediately overheated remove the plastic cover. Do not use the plastic cover at the end. Do not put the aluminum cover on just the thermal pad and heat sink and then I put an Apple TV remote on that
Fit perfectly put a little rubber band on there
it's a hunk of aluminum.
If I didn't have that, I would buy one of these pure copper heatsinks for eight dollars on eBay
I can't find my copper tape from when I used to build flashlights

If I am going to use it to primarily clone the existing drive on the laptop to the new NVMe drive on the enclosure, do I have to put the shell case back or leave it open when the disk is being duplicated? And, I don't have to put the thermal pad or the silicone plug too, right?

This would be great if they only included the accessory USB-C to USB-A adapter on one end of the cable (like they do on some of their other models) since not all of my computers have USB-C.

reviews are not good. seems it had overheating issues.
From reviews people get confused by rubber nubbin pin mount some how, and don't flash the firmware which fixes most problems as the factory insists on using an ancient one.

10Gbps is only 1000MB/s, not fast enough to stress most ssds to be honest.

The more compact one with external headsink is $16, that is the option for especially hot drives.

More suited to a permanent mount if your drive is hot, flat back for velcro.

This one is more protection for portability.



Install the firmware update.

Nothing to it, preconfigured, just click the up arrow botton to flash.

For just the clone you don't have to fully close it up, as long as it stays in place it'll be fine.

Quote from Golgatha :
The silicon grommet will wear out over time and eventually the drive won't mount. Unless you plan to install a drive and use it for years, I would avoid this one.
For technicians constantly swapping out drives you should use something like this, but it does cost 5x as much.

If cloning Windows OS, I find drive replacement the perfect opportunity to back up the old drive, do a fresh install of Windows on the new drive, and restore the backup to the new Windows install. Takes a bit longer, but avoids potential cloning issues and makes for a much snappier boot up and better overall performance in my experience versus a slow/cluttered up old Windows install. I leave the old drive in the new enclosure and give it to the laptop owner as a target backup drive.

If the motherboard is out of NVME slot, can this enclosure be used externally to move between computer and laptop to take advantage of its fast speed?
