    Wow that 40Gbps really doesn't scale with price.

    • Used to be able to get one for $85 from AliExpress before Covid.

      A lot of current version ones (compared to the cheaper version before Covid) does dual protocol support (USB 3.2 gen 2 + Thunderbolt 3/USB 4), but JMicron chipset is often used (in conjunction of the Intel Thunderbolt chipset). There is, however, another factor to consider, ASMedia does have USB 4 chipset and so far the initial test reviews are showing it performs better. May not be a good time to buy 40Gbps version.

    TFW a SSD enclosure costs more than some 2TB SSDs.

    i am looking for a laptop hdd Enclosure with typec anyone knows any?

  • Can anyone please explain what the difference with the Gbps is between the models? Is this transfer rates or something?

    • +2

      Yes, they're the theoretical max transfer speeds. Realistically you'd only need the 20Gbps if you're video editing directly from it or doing something else with high throughput.

      Most common use case is probably for Macs where getting internal storage is $$$ but a good quality NVME and thunderbolt enclosure might be cheaper.

      • Thank you

        At the price of the 20Gbps model it doesn't make sense to buy a SSD for this purpose as a dedicated unit from Samsung is going to be less in most cases. I would need to compare the specifications, but if a SSD doesn't have DRAM its sustained transfer speed is going to drop quickly.

    15% off.. not much of a lightning deal..

    • +9

      but the interface is USB-C, not lightning.
      sorry, had to

  • I've used UGreen in the past for 2.5 inch SSDs. Anyone have any ideas how this brand would compare?

    • +2

      It depends on the model and the chipset. Both brands have decent ones and "cost effective" ones.

      Neither is in the same class as Asus or proper branded ones. Generally, you prefer Realtek or ASMedia chipset for USB 3.2 gen 2. USB 3.2 gen 1 has so many chipsets, it is basically a lottery. My UGreen one was a cost effective one. USB-C to USB-C works fine, but the included USB-C to USB-A cable only works properly for USB 3.2 gen 1 (so basically UGreen threw in a cheap cable separately). Some of these with USB-C/USB-A combo cable, the USB-A portion / converter may only work properly under USB 3.2 gen 1.

    • In generaly I put orico half a step below ugreen. Not bad, but if there's a choice at a similar price I'll go ugreen.

  • 217 is not bad for a 40mbps thunderbolt enclosure

  • How does a usb enclosure have 6gbps limit?
    Thats SATA3's limit.
    The only way i can see that being possible if its a 10gbps USB interface wired up to a SATA3 limited m.2 interface

      It's B keyed m.2, so that's exactly what it is.

  • I have been using the 10Gbs version with my Xbox Series X for the past few years. It’s plenty fast, however I find mine does not wake up sometimes (quite often) and I have to unplug/replug it for the games to appear. Haven’t had any problems in relation to saved states which is fortunate.

    • I don't understand why Microsoft stayed with USB 3.0 / 3.2 gen 1 (5Gbps) for Series X. The funny thing is WD sells a few USB 3.2 gen 2 10Gbps external USB SSDs "for" Series X.
