$10 more than a normal small enclosure. The screen is more of a gimmick. The heat problem might just be that half the body is a Screen that wont help reduce heat leaving only one side to heatsink.All enclosures this size are fireballs to be honest.

This may be good for those that have a 2230 SSD sitting around in a drawer, one that originally came with their Microsoft Surface / Steamdeck, one they swapped out. Otherwise standard 2280 SSDs are much cheaper than 2230s and so are 2280 enclosures.

The screen is a gimmick that may contribute to the overheating issue.

Can anyone comment on the heat this produces? Some of the reviews say it becomes a fireball and that's not great for any drive…

I have it and it runs cool with the 1tb drive I'm using. (I pulled the drive from a Lenovo T490, not sure the brand) works better than most external enclosures I've purchased

Hard pass on that Sabrent one if that cable is not replaceable. The Orico looks good though.
