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.

Probably, lol definitely not gonna be $4.
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.

What do they do that make them bad?
Yes it would
*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.

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.
