Despite the advertising, these DO NOT support UASP on Mac, Linux, and Windows is so bad and buggy that it might as well not support it at all.

The chip ORICO uses in these is called the Norelsys NS1068. It's awful. You can see reviews from a few IT and linux people who actually know what they are talking about on other Orico SATA USB adapters.

I bought one of these for a Raspberry Pi and it was basically unusable. That's when I did my research.

These are cheap for a reason.

Oh and TRIM doesn't work, even under Windows, if I remember correctly.

The ones with USB c ports are more expensive aren't they?
Also I recently realized all my USB c cables and 2.0 and not 3.0.

Damn the code doesn't work on the type c version of the case.
I've been looking at m2 cases sata/nvme. There non names are minimum $12-$15.
For $4 I guess this is good as well. But I only see the m2 drives crashing in price.

Would this work with this to basically make a 2TB portable drive? https://slickdeals.net/share/iphone_app/fp/850457

Anyone know where you find a replacement cable that does take usb-c? I've seen the funky connector used on a few usb HD enclosures before.


*update* Nevermind..just need to dig up one of my usb to usb-c adapters.....there is a 2 pack for around $5 on frontpage but you can get them cheaper if you order from china on ebay.

I got one just like this - same company and chipset - and the brand new SSD just wouldn't ever mount. No matter what - even after a warranty swap. I found a random 10 year old 3.5" enclosure and it worked perfectly.

Based on a brief search about the NS1068, it looks like they don't play nice in UAS mode and it might be a good idea to disable that. Some more details in the articles below.

The "funky connector" is the USB 3.0 micro-b and was common--and the only way to get USB 3 speeds--before USB-C became the new standard.

Not familiar with all the specifics of the Raspberry Pi, but ran across the following with what may be a workaround for UAS issues …
