Excellent price on this M.2 SSD enclosure that supports both SATA and NVMe SSDs with support for M Key and B&M Key. It has fast read/write speeds thanks to being USB 3.2 Gen2 (10Gbps) and it uses the RTL9210B chipset, which is better than the JMicron chipset used in cheap enclosures and results in slower speeds and more heat.

The case has a metal body with a thermal fin and thermal pad for better heat dissipation. A 30cm USB-C to USB-C cable is included and it supports SSDs up to 4TB. Plus it's half the price of the Ugreen equivalent.

AU$ based on current Mastercard rate, GST inclusive and stacks with cashback.

    If I won't use it for SATA SSD, do you guys think NVMe+Bag is a better deal?

      Don't buy it, saves yourself $16.30 to buy some food. Big recession is coming, you can't buy food with nvme enclosure.

      I'm getting one to keep it on hand for file recovery. If a computer won't boot, I'll pull the drive out, put it in this case and plug it into a different computer to see if it's readable and make a copy of important files before attempting system recovery.

      • chyawala on 12/12/2022 - 08:57

        Could just boot a live Linux from USB and use that to recover files, saving tinkering with hardware.

          Not if the host system has failed, but the drive/OS hasn't.

    For an external storage, is NVME better or a SATA SSD?

    • KaTst3R on 12/12/2022 - 00:45

      Nvme is faster.

    • bargaino on 12/12/2022 - 00:50

      If you are buying a drive, just get a usb SSD like Samsung t7. Less to go wrong.

      These enclosures are more for people who already have a spare drive, eg from upgrade.

      • mkh1991 on 12/12/2022 - 00:53

        Perfect, thanks

      • Richardc on 12/12/2022 - 01:11

        But T7 only has 3yr warranty.

      • Hardstuck Silver 2 on 12/12/2022 - 08:46

        hey @bargaino can you elaborate on this further? What sort of issues?

        I am under the impression that an SSD + enclosure combo would be more flexible, cost effective and offers more redundancy if the chip fails (eg swap out a defective drive or enclosure vs binning the entire external drive like the T7)

        • Optimus Subprime on 16/12/2022 - 11:29

          Yep exactly, there's pros and cons on both sides.

  • MelBorn on 12/12/2022 - 01:03

    Half the price of the ugreen, how is the quality of the brand Orico and Aliexpress?

    • greatlamp on 12/12/2022 - 05:52

      Very good, I wouldn't worry about quality.

    • Clear on 12/12/2022 - 06:25
      +3

      Half the price because it's CN stock and not AU stock. Ugreen's CN stock enclosure isn't on sale so it's expensive.

      Orico and Ugreen are basically the same in quality anyway. I'd argue Orico are better.

      If you read carefully and Select and buy the model OP recommended (Color: NVMe SATA-Black ) it will work with both M.2 NVMe and SATA.

      But you need to select M.2 NVMe/SATA . Refer to the diagram posted by OP in the link towards the end (Add "Color: NVMe SATA <colour>" to the cart )

          There's your problem. The website currency is set to AUD and that'll fluctuate unlike the USD price that stays the same.

          Do you have a card without currency conversion fees? If so set the website currency to USD, have the card linked to PayPal and at checkout when selecting the payment method, click on "See currency options" under the card to bill it in USD. Then you'll get the exchange rate.

          The website or letting PayPal do the conversion will be inflated.

            @Clear: It will not let me apply the coupon code in the cart as the price on the website is below the coupon code price. The site is showing me AU$. Changing to US$ shows me the following coupon conditions:

            It looks like Aliexpress is applying a "New User Bonus" which is putting the price below the minimum coupon value. I can not remove that new user bonus.

              @nicrankin: I used a different code and got roughly the same price. It was a few cents different, but I'm assuming that's a variation in currency conversion.

    1. Tool-less is handy.
    2. For NVMe 10 Mb/s USB-C is handy if you've got 10 Mb/s USB on your PC.
    3. Dual protocol (NVMe + SATA) can be handy if you've got both sorts of SSDs. Just plug the SSD in and it works.
    4. An external enclosure with separate NVMe and SATA sockets has an old chip in it. New ones can do both.
    5. A metal case and cooling is pointless. USB ports aren't fast enough for this to be a problem.
    6. A transparent case so you can see what SSD is in it would be more handy.
  • [Deactivated] on 12/12/2022 - 10:46

    A reminder that ssd's are not long term offline storage medium's for backup purposes. Memory degrades after a short time unpowered. You could have total data loss in as little as a year.

    • Clear on 12/12/2022 - 11:02

      I'd be doing a warranty return if it was a year or under on the SSD.

      Backups are always important and backups of backups 😉

      • [Deactivated] on 12/12/2022 - 12:18

        offline, unpowered.

        Its not a warranty matter. The technology is not designed for short or long term archival. This is not related to total writes etc.

        Hard drives are better, cd/blu ray better again, magnetic tape better again.

        Cloud based backup where they distribute your data over massive redundant arrays also good. But comes with its own risks re privacy, comoany going bankrupt, etc.

        • Borg on 12/12/2022 - 12:25

          cd/blu ray better again = I don't think so. I have had many old CD's with backup data on them fail to read in 2022 "unable to read data".

          Personally I recommend copying backups to multiple external Non SSD USB drives as they are cheap these days. Keep one offsite at all times so having x 3 USB Drives ensures this is possible i.e. there is always x1 offsite during rotation. Saves relying on cloud for very large files.

        • Clear on 12/12/2022 - 12:27

          Losing data unpowered after less than a year is a faulty drive. You should be getting at least 2 years or more.

                @Clear: Ah ha…….sorry, thought it was related as it was under my comment but understand now :-)

          • [Deactivated] on 12/12/2022 - 13:50

            @Clear: I do apologise, but that used to have more truth to it, but absolutely isn't true in very recent times. Like the last few years.

            SSD's, particularly modern, cheaper, higher capacity NVME's, are absolutely not designed to be left on the shelf for years on end without degradation/loss. That is not their design intent. It would not be a warranty issue. The SSD will absolutely still work, once reformatted. It's not goin to lose functionality. It's not going to lose endurance.

            But there'd be no warranty claim to speak of.

            QLC and other forms of "layered" flash can be about 16x more sensitive to degradation from voltage loss than ye olde single layer flash. There is a penalty to shoving exponentially more tiny components into one space that rely on maintaining their electrical state to remember things.

            You get speed and density. You lose archival ability. This isn't a problem if you're booting up every few months. It's a huge issue if you're not.

            Don't think you can chuck a cheap/old stick in this, and use it for occasional backup / archiving, was the only point being made.

  • foxpants on 12/12/2022 - 10:52

    Got one of these on a black Friday deal and threw in a gen 3 SSD with read and write both in excess of 1,250MBps/10Gpbs, and I can confirm those speeds are achievable, but you need a source drive that can match or exceed the read speeds. It's an entirely new and awesome problem that I backed up some game files off a SATA SSD to this external drive, and speed was limited by the Sata drive read speed.
