looks ike this one has a better heat sink design and a 2nd cable for older pc's which I would think is needed since they so not have usb C.. Anyone chime in on these two?
Schills. Welcome to the SD way.

I have both, the other works better for me. I just had to throw my one like this away. It would REALLY overheat any drive I placed in it.
The other one works great as a boot disk for my openmediavault nas.

This one uses a screw that you could eventually find a replacement if it got lost.
Also the other one has this silicone plug to hold the drive in place that irritates the crap out of me. It works well, but it always looks like it's not going to work because it's so flimsy. Not a real problem, just an irritant. Again, a screw here would go a long way. Orico, screws are not the enemy...

I think the plug is like that because if it were a screw and the thermal pad hardened, the user may damage the drive prying off the lid.
Chinese brand du jour. They'll be back to INIU and LISEN tomorrow.
I do not know if it is my drive or not but when I install a 4Tb WD BLACK SN850X in this the drive stops responding after a few minutes. It works fine all my other drives but they are all 1Tb and smaller. Other than the 4Tb drive it works really fast and I love that is smaller than the other enclosure I am using on my 4Tb drive.

The orico uses a standard chip, if there is problem its likely just the firmware.
Probably, but the build quality is also bad. And it's very easy to strip the tiny screw they use to close the lid. The Sabrent tool-free is more expensive, but for the price, you get a full steel-body case with thermal pads, USB-3.2 speed, screwless mounting for the 2280 NVME, and a hinged, button-release lid.
I do realize this is Slickdeals, but this Orico enclosure just isn't that slick, especially for a 5+-year-old design, with a plastic lid, using USB-C 3.1.

The cheapies have a place as most people only have 1 3.2 20Gbps if they are lucky, so subsequent drives are 10Gbps at best.
3.2 isn't 20Gbps btw, its just a rebrand of 3.1 unless stated otherwise.
