    Bought even though I don't even have a NVMe drive 😅

      "This is the way"

      I’m pulling the big brain move of buying one of these while waiting for storage prices to keep dropping. When the time is right, pull the trigger, use it for storage for a couple years, then use it as a boot drive when I upgrade my whole rig, gg ez

      • upgrade is the right approach, best one in PC and the old one into the enclosure ….. and back up to the one in the enclosure ….

      • Had one sitting on the desk for a few months now watching all the M.2 prices crater.

        I haven’t been able to find a thread of recommended drives for external cases, does one exist? Anybody got any recommendations?

        Crucial / Kingston / Samsung 970 or 980? / WD Blue

    • Just did the same. The way some of these 970 Evo deals are going we'll have a 1tb NVMe drive on the go for ~$80

  • +4

    Looks like it can support up to 4TB not just 2TB.

  • Would this be good for cloning a HDD?

    • Paired with something like Macrium Reflect Free, yes.

      • Macrium reflect is not free anymore

        • It is for 30 days :-)

          • @Orrelljet: Technically, that's the new intermediate Macrium Home edition.

            Cloning a system disk was a feature of Macrium Reflect Free 7, but was removed from Macrium Reflect Free version 8, which has a poorer user interface, so now you need the newly added intermediate Home edition, which has a 30day license, to do that.

            I don't know what's up with Macrium still linking to a page for home that returns 404 not found, or where the Free edition has gone.

            Cloning a system disk is pretty basic functionality, but everyone will charge you for it. Exploitative one-off needs.

        • Huh, is that new?
          I'm still running free, Reflect 8, Edition: Free.

          On the website, selecting products > home give a 404 page with home button ironically enough.

          • @gunslinger: It happened a couple of months ago. That said, if you still have original 7/8 free downloaders (those that start the full download) then the last time I tried a couple of weeks ago they still worked fine.

  • Any deals on a cheap SATA supported enclosure?

  • How does this + an NVMe SSD compare to something like Samsung's T series of portable SSDs?

    • +3

      Probably marginally cheaper, and I am assuming faster read/write speed. There's some really good deals on NVME SSDs of late.

      • +1

        Interesting that the DIY option is faster! Might go through this route for backing up 360 degree video footage.

        Thanks! :)

      depends how cheap you can get a SSD for the size you want…
      eg. there were recent deals on a 2TB T7 for ~$180 I think, so you'd need to get a 2TB SSD to fit into this enclosure for ~$150 to make it marginally cheaper.

      Speed would be the same going via USB (10Gbps theoretical max but in reality more like 6.something-7Gbps i.e. 800+MB /s)
      EDIT: sorry, my speeds are because I have USB 3.1; if your pc/laptop is USB 3.2 then the T7 and this enclosure with an SSD would be much closer to the 10Gbps for each.

      • I saw some PNY 2tb deals for ~110ish. They're dramless but so is the T7. It'll actually saturate usb 3.2 (~1.25gb/s) compared to the T7 which tops out at only ~800mb/s.

    • cases are appealing if you upgrade a PC as you left with the old nvme ….samsung is good if you just want more storage ….lightning fast and better shape as they aren’t locked into m.2 ….

    $23.39 + $5.99 delivery without prime brings the price to $29.38 i bought this 6 days ago that got delivered today from ebay for $30.15 with free shipping in case anyone doesnt have prime and prefers ebay

      I mean, you could have gotten it from Amazon + plus 1 month of Prime for $30.38.

      Faster shipping too.

    Those USB standards are always very confusing since USB 3.0

    USB 3.2 Gen 1 is same as USB 3.1 Gen 1 and USB 3.0, with 5Gbps speed
    USB 3.2 Gen 2 x 1 is same as USB 3.1 Gen 2, with 10Gbps speed
    USB 3.2 Gen 2 x 2 is the only one reaching 20Gbps

    Probably OP can specify this is USB 3.2 Gen 2 x 1

    Slightly overkill but should work nicely with the recently cheap Samsung Evo Plus 970 SSD
    (Probably max speed reaching ~1000Mbps read/write given the interface bottleneck)

    • The naming scheme is just so good.

    • And one also needs to have the correct USB C cable. Even if the computer and the drive adapter can do these speeds, you need a cable that will.

      These enclosures typically come with a suitable but short cable. I bought one of these a few months ago, and it reaches ~1000Mbps

    Nearly bought one of these early last year. In the end I decided to buy the Inateck product which was slightly more expensive but has a full metal housing (rather than just the top as the Orico does) as I figured it would have superior heat dissipation and I regularly save huge backup files to it. Very happy with it.

    • Negged for giving my view on the item. Some people are just unbelievable.

        Thanks to those who upvoted me and got rid of the negs. Much appreciated.

    Where is the discount code? its not showing up

    • They removed it apparently. It was there before when I checked.

      • It was showing up briefly/erraticly when i was trying to check out (i added inateck one based on previous guys recommendation), but then it disappeared again.

  • I ordered this yesterday at the discount price. Already delivered today!

  • Did anyone else find that the included invoice is not a tax invoice, nor does it include any gst or other tax?
    Considering that the seller states they are the 'Official Orico AU Store', does not seem to checkout.
    (You can get your invoice by going to the order details, and going to the blue invoice drop down link)
