I have a bunch of these Orico M2PV enclosures and they work great. If you have any hiccups like disconnects, update the firmware before writing off the enclosure because these inevitably ship from the factory with quite old firmware. For example, the new enclosures I got in 2025 arrived with ancient v1.23.15 firmware from 11/16/2020, but the latest current firmware is v1.34.39 from 1/13/2025 (see https://github.com/bensuperpc/rtl9210).

Bought myself one of these during Amazon's BF promo for $10.36 and for its price it surprised me regarding how good it performs.

Yes, a bunch of brands out there, but many of them--even some of the "expensive" ones--use this same RTL9210(B) chip. Indeed, many even seem to share very similar designs, which are undoubtedly reference designs released by RealTek.
What might not be obvious with the flashing program is that you should first backup the existing firmware settings, and you can then make those same settings on top of the updated firmware.

Community Reviews

This compact ORICO M.2 NVMe enclosure stands out for low-cost portable SSD use, especially quick file transfers and repurposing old drives. Performance is described as surprisingly strong for the price, and a firmware update can make a dramatic difference, with one report jumping from about 30 MB per second to about 450 MB per second. The main cautions are heat during long writes or continuous use, plus a fiddly cover screw and a board that can slide out too easily. It is a small, handy enclosure, but firmware and thermals matter.

If you intend to use this enclosure for transferring files between computers, this is an excellent purchase. However, if you plan to use this drive for continuous use, such as a primary drive or media server, I would advise against it. During prolonged use, the drive becomes extremely hot, and its read/write speeds significantly decrease.

I've been using it as a file/media server with a 4TB WD NVMe and don't have those issues.

Appreciate it!
I had to do the same thing for a no-name unit, but had to figure out which to use by trying a bunch (all for the same RTL chip). Works better now.

This looks like a decent price but with drives increasing in price I wonder if these will fall even further.

Just note that, the screw to remove the cover is bothersome, a bit bulky itself; others are tool free, much more convenient, and slimmer like its sibling.

The Sabrent is only a few dollars more, and I would look at it first. There is a thread here from a month or two back that is informative.

I'm hoping to see more deals on M.2 NVMe SSDs.
