I'm going to get one of these when I buy a larger NVME drive. I need to clone off my old P1 512GB NVME so I don't have to redo an OS install and all my games. I think a Seagate 510 2TB will do nicely.
Would this perform better than a Samsung T5? I’m editing in FCPX from a library on my T5. Looking for more storage so I can start optimizing the media and maybe doing proxy videos when I introduce a second camera. I want 2TB.
Thanks Daniel! It really is a great alternative to buying a Samsung T5 SSD and paying double the price. Plus, this NVMe Enclosure is faster than the T5 to my knowledge :)
The problem with back up is that if you loose your drive your Programs aren't backed up and you have to reinstall a new operating system o another new drive and reload all your software programs. If you clone your boot drive you should be able to just remove the Junk drive and replace it with the Cloned drive and just keep roll'en on.
Okay, so I have this enclosure and a brand new 500gb m.2 nvme. I can't get the thing to be recognized on two different laptops. I've tried everything on the web, but nothing. The little blue light on the enclosure lights up. Do we think it's a lemon drive? I think i might try another enclosure before getting another drive.
Can I do a clone of my WD M.2 PCIe 3.0x4 NVMe SSD to one of these drive encloses with an Identical WD M.2 PCIe 3.0x4 NVMe SSD or even a larger one say 2 TB
I'm going to be exploring this topic at some point. I think the SOURCE storage needs to be the same size or less than the TARGET storage. So if you have a 1TB internal M.2 then you can clone that to an External NVMe Enclosure with either a 1TB or 2TB M.2 SSD inside. There's lot's of different PAID and Free cloning software out there for a Windows PC. I just want to sort through them all to choose the simplest one for everyone to use. If anyone has any suggestions, Feel free to leave them here too :)
When I installed my WD M.2 PCIe 3.0x4 NVMe SSD in my ASUS gaming lap top I tried 4 different cloning software including the one that came with it. I was cloning a 1 TB HD less than half full to a 500 Gig WD M.2 PCIe 3.0x4 NVMe SSD and after the fifth try And figuring out how to change the WD SSD to the boot drive it worked. Went from a 45 sec to a 7 second BOOT. Just that was worth the $223 at that time price of the SSD. p.s. I don't game I do Video Editing with this Laptop.
Looks like a very handy device. I am curious if this good and working with a Nvidia Shield.(or Raspberry Pi 4??) Sorry for all the questions my mind is always in overdrive with this kind of toys :D
I have an Nvidia Shield and a Raspberry Pi 4 so I will get to testing. They both have USB 3.0 ports to my knowledge so the transfer rates are going to be similar to what I got in the video for USB 3.0. Maybe a bit slower on the Raspberry Pi 4. As to if they will work, I believe so but will confirm.
I really wish they's stop saying "300Mb/s Connection Speeds" and "100MB/s Transfer Rate"... most people don't know b=bit and B-byte. That means you divide 10Gb/s by 8. When you're trying to balance the connection type, drive speed, bottleneck issues... it's just more unnecessary math to do.
Why noy test it on a Live USB Linux distro, some also has the option to run entirely on RAM (at boot from USB they copy them selfe to RAM)? That way is testing it with a better than new freshly installed, it is testing in the same exact condition (Live Boot). Could you please test it on a modern Live Linux Distro (hybrid ISO) like Linux Manjaro? They can be free downloaded and written to USB 8GiB or + sticks and then booted. If you do the tests, could you also test the TRIM commands (on Linux with fstrim command line, and on Windows with some tools)? Thanks in advance.
People have different use cases. I have an NVME SSD sitting in my drawer for 3 years now (wasn't compatible with the project I got it for). I don't have M2 capability in my laptop. Enclosures are cheap enough now that I can put that drive in one and get some super fast portable USB storage action out of it. I couldn't give a shit if it's gonna be several times faster in an M2 PCIe port BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A PCIe PORT. So no, for my use case, the USB port is not a bottleneck - it'll let me use this drive I have lying around and it'll be many times faster than my current USB storage that I lug around.
6:25 504 MB/s and 7:05 567 MB/s That is still hovering at SATA III speed. USB 3.1 is capable of 10 Gbps (or 1,250 MB/s), so that transfer speed was rather bottleneck and performing below 50%. I guess we have to be content with the real world performance. NVME speed is about 3500 MB/s, so that real world speed is really pathetic. Thanks for the External Enclosure review.
@@adelphus515 Unfortunately that's not the case with my Dell Thunderbolt 4 port for daily use. It is relatively slow for transferring folders and files, ranges 20-60 MB/s. Haven't tried transferring huge (GB or TB) files. However with CrystalDIskMark 8 - SEQ1M Q8T1, it manages to transfer at 1GB/s.
So much damn overhead, the fact the speeds won’t bottom out on regular 3.0 is a testaments to that enclosure controller.
Why there's no speed control on this video? What, is happening?!
Nice review bro. I’m planning to buy this casing. Hopefully it would run smoothly.
Is the cover good enough for not having accidentally open it?????
I have it and it is a little loose
An OK review but you forgot to say what cable(s) are included in the package. This is very important. But I still gave you a thumbs up.
Will this also work with M.2 2280PCle Gen 3 NVMe SSD with B+M key (6pin)?
First video from you. Thank you for informative video. Subbed for sure.

Cool so you can boot linux or windows OS or play games from an external usb 3.1 nvme m.2 setup is the pic 3.0 x4 nvme m.2 adapter setup faster ?

How awesome is that? That freaking awesome!

Just a random question- Will this drive do USB OTG? Say like from the NVMe drive to an Android device like a Note 10.. ?
Yes, but if drive contain any encrypted partition, that will not connect anyway.
Another case use: Really fast incremental BackUPs and for Clonning the OS (disk/partition to image mode).
That's how my first use of it will go. 512GB really isn't enough in 2021. Going to upgrade to a 2TB NVME.
Got this and it was the worst case outta all the ones I tried and man I need to make videos on these !
If I am extracting an SSD from a laptop that died, is there anything I can do about the encryption?
Can i first format the drive directly on Orico or it need to be formated before?

AOMEI Backupper clone mode.
will it work with a "type c 3.1 gen 2 port to usb a 3.1 gen 2" cable
How about the heat?

Does it fit to adata sx8200 pro 2tb? It has chips on both side
nice test. thanks.
Alguém sabe me diz onde eu consigo o motorista deste adaptador ssd?
thank you, all question i have in my mind you already answer. hhhhhh
Doing Good Job
Hi, I have USB 2.0 on my laptop. can it support it?
it would be a waste bruh
Gen 2 Type C port is a huge bottleneck

I get 1GB/sec when plugged in a USB 3.1 Gen 2 port...
