I mean i guess it's ok for someone that's swapping or cloning drives around a bunch but there's just no reason i can think of to not pay LESS for a 20gbps unit at the very least. Both my macbook air and the new x870 board i bought support 40gbit for external drives... and while "10 gigabit seems like plenty of speed" once you experience 40gigabit transfers... well, it's just like when you're used to using gigabit over your network and move up to 2.5 or 10gigabit ... gigabit suddenly seems very slow.
I would almost bet real money these things even retain 10gig transfer speeds with absolutely zero cooling though. It would be a miracle IMO especailly sustained, maybe for a handful of seconds... NVME drives get hot pretty quickly.
I've typed to much, the bottom line is that you can get 10gbps nvme enclosures for like 20 bucks all day long and 20gbps for not much more... 60 bucks to literally handicap a nvme drives down to 1GB/sec (let's be real, it's going to be way less on any sustained transfer if the drive even stays stable)
This is not a slick deal..

I agree with that, the only redeeming quality is that it handles a bunch of formats including sd express... Other than that, i think it's pretty much already e-waste tbh.
20gbit is like minimum for an enclosure these days. Why spend money on SSDs that can do over 10GB/sec and neuter them to 1/10 that speed? (and like i said above, no way they sustain that speed with no heat management)

One of the slots says SATA while the other says NVMe (basically the one on the left is for older type of drives).
Unless you absolutely need a machine to duplicate drives from SD->SATA->NVMe, you don't want this.
(Though it would be very useful to upgrade an older system with a hybrid slot).
Check the product details and customer reviews to learn more about this item.
If you just need to clone a HDD to a NVME once, or very occasionally, you'd be better off just installing the HDD into a PC system with an open SATA slot, then using a USB NVME dock plugged into the system to clone it over. You don't even necessarily need a system with an OS installed, you could boot from a live OS (flash drive) like Acronis TrueImage, then make it clone the internal HDD to the USB NVME dock.
I agree that if you're doing basic backups, this product is overpriced and superfluous.
