Does anyone know what realistic transfer speeds we would achieve with this enclosure?
I would depend on hdd type and also the controller in the enclosure. Usually a 5400rpm hdd will do around 100-120mbs ssd usually 250-500mbs write speeds
The same speed as the cheaper version with the sata connector to USB3 A. That is, the max speed of the drive you put in the thing.
This one is expensive…I've been waiting for one of those other deals where it's been a few dollars.
Is this one a premium model and worth the money?
UGREEN isn't premium but their quality is pretty consistent, and good.
Do the cheaper ones have the same specs?
The difference is that it's USB C, though that doesn't say anything about its transfer speeds. A lot of USB C devices and cables are still USB 2.0. Or has that been renamed to something weird?
I got the cheaper Orico branded transparent enclosure. Works well. Never had a problem. Again, speeds depend on the type of HDD you insert.
Is there an incredible amount of difference with these things?
Well, do those $5 enclosures have a print on the case that shouts "Protect What You Love!" ?
I rest my case.
No. I have bought 5 different 2.5" enclosures over the last few months and all are pretty much the same. Two had a few more capacitors to clean up the power. I would not leave any external enclosure connected to a PC/Laptop permanently, so they all do the same job really. I am sure if you paid $100 more you may get a few more dollars worth of components which may help a more permanent use.
Sorta wish they would include a USB C to USB C cable, though they are probably cheap enough to pick up elsewhere.
I wonder if a cheap decent SSD like the Crucial BX500 in this kind of case would out-perform & out-last one of those external SSD drive products.
