I have quite a few (10+) Sabrent enclosures for my NVMEs that I use daily. I have put hundreds if not thousdands of terabytes of reads and writes thru these enclosures without a single failure. Which is more than I can say about the Orico ones I purchased originally that I had at least 3 or 4 enclosures fail.

I second this. My Sabrent nvme enclosure has worked with off-brand nvme drives when other enclosures failed. I use mine constantly and the toolless design is really convenient. I probably wouldn't try to use it for heavy constant use because it can heat up, but when I need to attach an nvme drive to my computer to partition it or transfer files, this one is my favorite.

This Sabrent USB C NVMe enclosure stands out as a sturdy, toolless aluminum case for turning spare NVMe drives into fast portable storage or a cloning drive. The Realtek RTL9210B controller, permanent thermal pad, and metal shell are praised for reliability and heat handling, and the enclosure works well with firmware updates and even off brand drives. It is also handy for swapping SSDs in and out. The main caveats are heat under heavy constant use, occasional disconnect or freeze issues on some setups, and speed limits on a 10 gigabit connection.

  • The enclosure can work well for cloning drives and transferring large files quickly.

  • The enclosure can dissipate heat effectively, and some SSDs keep it lukewarm during writes.

  • The enclosure can handle off-brand NVMe drives when other enclosures fail.

    Ih8reb8s

  • The enclosure uses a permanent thermal pad that avoids peel-and-stick pad limitations.

    RogueVariable

  • The enclosure can freeze or lock up on some systems until firmware is updated.

    dokitaCrimsonWallaby2932gonepostl

  • The enclosure may not reach advertised 10Gbps performance in real-world tests, depending on the SSD.

    Nate650fizzerfits

  • The enclosure can disconnect repeatedly, which may indicate a bad unit.

    KhaoZ

  • The enclosure can have sleep or wake issues on a Netgear router NAS setup.

I wonder why they changed the design. It does look sleeker but now it's not stackable

Bought two of these the other day. One is constantly disconnecting and I haven't tried the other yet. I tried a different enclosure with the same nvme and it's working, so maybe I just got a bad enclosure. Going to try the second one tonight and see if it's any better.

Yeah, the old design has been flawless. The Orico was finicky, but I flashed the firmware on both enclosures and they they have been fine since. The clam shell design is much more convenient.

I had this, and I sent it back. I was using it to connect an M.2 SSD to my Netgear router in order to use my router as a NAS. When it would go to sleep, it woulnd't wake back up. I'd have to disconnect and reconnect it before my devices could find it on the network. I ended up getting a standard SSD and haven't had any problems.

If I wanted to clone a drive, would this enclosure work well for the transfer destination drive?

I have several of the older model using the RLT9210B chipset that have been great for the past few years. The older model is more expensive ~$22-25 but supports both NVME and SATA. For the price, it's worth a shot, and hopefully it'll have a common chipset that works well.
