Like for example, encoding a video, editing, decoding etc, anything that requires sustained heavy read and writes for prolonged periods of time (several hours), you run the risk of overheating it and in my case it will run too hot disconnect, and corrupt the entire m.2 drive. Resulting in absolute rage when all the your files in your drive gets completely nuked and will have to force initialize it for it to be usable again (even that won't work at times)
In short: Get this if you plan on playing games fast, transfer files etc. Don't get this if you plan on using it for stuff that will require heavy use that involves lots of reading writing and deleting on the drive at the same time.
Edit: also for those that think the cooling pad will be enough, it won't. You will have better luck just taking the top off and let it cool that way. It was a very poor design to have this enclosure on a fully enclosed METAL rectangular box of abomination with no ventilation in mind. Also If you buy this make sure you use usb-c to usb-c. You can use a usb-c to usb3.1 or 3.2 but you will experience random disconnects now and then which is not ideal for something that's specifically designed for fast speeds and heavy use with the portability it's supposed to be designed for.
that makes it much easier to align the thermal pad with the nvme and case. good cooling.

Smart people would rather choose to degrade an external m.2 drive rather than their main drive. just common sense.
You can expect same good reliability from its 10Gbps counterpart RTL9210B

If you have gen 2x2 then it's a no brainer cost and performance wise to use it, rather than waiting for USB4/TB4 to be more widespread and economical.
