    Wonder if they can throw this on their eBay page or get Pcbyte to match it on their site as it the same brand.

      Don't ruin it for everyone else. Also…

        Ok Boomer, all I needed was two.

          If 84 is your year then you're way closer to a boomer than me 😉

    Have a couple of these w Samsung SSDs inside and they work great. Can recommend.

      You swallowed them?

      Do you happen to know the chipset used in this enclosure? E.g. JMicron where there's no TRIM and thus not so suitable for SSDs.

      • kehuehue on 21/02/2022 - 19:39

        is there anyway to tell? i got myself one along with an ssd

          Open it up and see. I ordered one too so I can check. Like it's not the worst thing in the world and will still perform fast.

          If anything I'm being pedantic.

        • netsurfer on 21/02/2022 - 22:23

          One way is to open device managers, then plug it in, see if you figure out which USB device is added, from there, get the device details, need the vendor Id and device Id.

          If you only care about UASP, you can use Crystal DiskInfo, it tells you whether UASP is being used for that enclosure/SSD/HDD.

          If you want to know TRIM support, there is also a way to test (I am using a Mac right now so don't have the info).

      • netsurfer on 21/02/2022 - 22:23

        There is one JMicro with TRIM support. It's always chipset lottery with these cheap ones.

      • netsurfer on 21/02/2022 - 22:40

        You guys "might" be in luck. If Simplecom uses the same chipset on these just like the cheap Simplecom 3.5 inch enclosure I have, then it is JMicron 578. I can confirm UASP works and TRIM on USB works too for JMicro 578 (I just tested it to be sure).

        However, I didn't order one of these. Was really tempted, but too busy at work this arvo and already have too many enclosures. Furthermore, with USB 3.2 gen 2 (10Gbps) SATA3 enclosures sometimes drops just below $15, I am somewhat tempted to get those. Also, not a fan of Simplecom's tool free design for the 3.5 inch one (well, it was the cheapest I can find at the time) wasn't very keen on this one.

        • YRT on 22/02/2022 - 08:22

          To add, JMS578 + SSD combo does not work for Raspberry Pi for most either. Get AsMedia chipset instead

          • netsurfer on 22/02/2022 - 09:35

            @YRT: I think if you want to boot from an SSD on Pi 4, it might be easier to avoid JMicron based chipset altogether.

    Checkout was a breeze. Whoever did AZ's site put in more thoughts than average.

    Grabbed one, cheers OP!

    Not recommended. The controller is very slow. Never had trouble with Orico

    • Clear on 21/02/2022 - 17:17

      Do you know which one it has?

      • nfr on 26/02/2022 - 16:47

        Tested on one of my SSDs. CrystalDiskmark scores are so similar I think my Oricos have the same JMicron chipset.

    Any one has theirs ship?

    • dylanando on 25/02/2022 - 19:17

      Mine delivered today. That was rather fast

      • zemphism on 26/02/2022 - 01:08

        My 2 also.

    • hexapling on 27/02/2022 - 07:02

      Mine hasn't even shipped yet. Still says Processing.

  • Jessie Ryder on 27/02/2022 - 16:16

    I don't think I even got a confirmation email.
    They have my money though.

  • kehuehue on 01/03/2022 - 11:04

    Still nothing and shows processing

      I didn't get shipping notification so contacted live chat yesterday and they provided AusPost tracking number. Was shipped last week and due to be delivered today.

      • kehuehue on 01/03/2022 - 11:34

        Ill do the same, thanks.
