Canned, yet real info:
High-Speed Connectivity: Supports speeds up to 40Gbps, compatible with Thunderbolt 3/4, USB4, USB 3.2, 3.1, 3.0, and 2.0 interfaces.
Efficient Cooling: Built-in cooling fan to ensure optimal performance and longevity of NVMe SSDs.
Tool-Free Installation: Designed for hassle-free installation of M.2 NVMe SSDs (2230/2242/2260/2280 M Key).
Premium Build: Aluminum construction for excellent heat dissipation and durability.

It's crazy to have a portable drive this fast. This Orico drive was backed on kickstarter, so there's definitely a demand. As for the style, I like the clear case that allows me to see the M.2. I'll let you be the judge though.

The unit also features a fan that moves hot air away from the NVMe M.2. Check the video for test results.

Note: My Linux test speeds must have been very compressed, because those speeds are beyond what it's supposed to be able to do. Refer to the Windows tests for accurate results.

Box contents:

1* 40gbps M.2 Enclousre
1* USB-C to A/C Cable
1* Thermal Pad
2* Fastener
1* Instruction Book

I can't wait for the prices on these to go down to where the 3.2 enclosures prices are.

That is a thick boi... I like the Sabrent better from the pure look perspective, however the integrated fan is probably a huge benefit in the Orico... thanks for the review, food for thought.

At some point they had a 20gbit version with a better fan/heatsink design, although it needed a screw, and I used a ssd that tested very well for sustained writes in order to use it as a giant dump location for anything up to and including entire disk images. Maybe they'll do this with the new 40gbit capability sometime.

[ShawnKoppenhoefer]

Is this Thunderbolt 4 "compatible" or is this certified "Thunderbolt 4".
The reason I ask is that everywhere I look it comes back "compatible" and USB4.

[SylvesterAshcroft]

This makes sense with the prices dropping, but i can't imagine having a raid of ssd's for general users, so having a single 2TB SSD should be sufficient for most people, and if it's external, it can be easily hotswapped between systems.

[JessicaFEREM]

just as an example, my desktop NEVER reaches past maybe 50c, even when gaming, but I ran a CHD compression utility and the CPU peaked at 100c, because it's basically stress testing the CPU at 100 constant across all the cores for hours at a time.

[DailyTechNews.mp]

I don't like, it's pretty for sure, but you've got all that aluminum for potential thermal mass & then such a tiny heatsink; you could probably squeeze in a bigger one but still... the one that's also the hub is really really cool tho.


Anyone who reads this, I wish you a nice day✌

[Ejohns]

What was the other enclosure you were talking about? The one with the metal top that had a fan on top of the M.2.

[Jaddico]

the banana 😆🤣🤣

Gotta get dat daily potassium and magnesium lel

[Kamodomon]

I wonder if you take off the lid if that will help with the heat

[oneisnone]

I want to get the Acasis, but reviews have said that the fan is always on, and it’s loud.

[zooziz]

Is it bad idea to run os of this? I sadly need windows and I'd rather disconnect drive then mess around with dual boot options

[EverSpaceTime]

I want you to look at the OWC express 1m2. It's usb4. It's absolutely gorgeous and heavy and is something you buy and sit back and go because it's so stupidly pretty. yes, it costs more. It's worth it.

[LeoBounce]

how do you solve very low Q1T1 random write speed? I've got a similar enclosure (fully metallic model) and the same test results

[nerevar]

Aren't you trying to move to Japan? Isn't it really hard to move there though? Are you doing anything you could advise to others as advice on moving there?

[mrlithium]

K yeah I saw these for $99 but I didnt know how to judge if the speed was worth it over the $15 ones that are RTL9210 based.
I like Orico, ive been buying a lot of their gear and they are solid.
