  As Nvme ssd price dropping down, the adapter is almost as expensive as a ssd :)

    If you don't mind el cheapo ones (brand you never heard of) from AliExpress, can get it for just under $20. Used to be even cheaper.

    It's weird, enclosures used to be cheaper. Maybe with so many cheap SSDs, people want enclosures now.

    Amazon AU's warranty is much better though.

  Note; The large button on the bottom for opening the enclosure is easily pressed. If this is loose in your bag, expect the enclosure to be open when you take it out.

  Is the UNGREEN better than the following?

  ORICO M.2 NVMe/SATA 10Gbps USB-C 3.2 Gen2 Enclosure US$10.99 (~A$16.30) Delivered

    Based on the specs, the Orico one supports both NVMe and SATA (though you still need to check the m.2 connector type of the m.2/SATA SSD). That means it could be Realtek chipset (preferred). This one, it states SATA is not supported, so it could be ASMedia (or worse still, JMicron). Problem is, these makers swap USB controllers all the time as well. Note, depending on the USB "gen", the chipsets you want is different (basically, the ranking for USB 3.2 gen 2 does not apply to gen 1 or gen 2x2).

    I don't think the UGreen is worth double the price. However, you are looking at old price. The current AliE cheapest would be closet to barely below $20 after GST is added (but that one seems a bit dodgy).

    My past experience with both UGreen (it's not UnGreen by the way) and Orico "cost effective" USB 3.2 gen 2 enclosures is the USB-C to USB-A portion has a high chance to only work in USB 3.2 gen 1. The USB-C to USB-C portion is okay for USB 3.2 gen 2.

    Ugreen comes with two cables … usb-c as well as converter to usb-a

    This makes their price comparable

  I’ve completely lost track of the standards/specs of storage devices and enclosures.

  Will this thing fit one of these? The heatsink seems to be the x-factor:

    You need a heatsink when a fast SSD is working hard. The USB connection is slow. So the SSD is unlikely to get hot enough to need a heatsink. Some external enclosures either don't include a case, or allow you to remove the internal board the SSD plugs into from the case. If you had an SSD with a heatsink attached you could use one of them.

  Depends on how you use your "spare" M.2 SSDs.

  If you want to put them all in external enclosures this product is OK, if expensive.

  I have a lot of loose M.2 SSDs. Some SATA, some NVME. Those which have something valuable on them I want to keep are labelled on the reverse side. Older M.2 SSDs have chips on the back, but the new ones are all single-sided, and you can put a label there.

  So I got a couple of Simplecom SA506 adapters. $26 each. They are just a little box with a slot on one end, and a USB cable on the other. You plug the SSD, whether its NVMe or SATA, into the slot, and plug the USB cable into the PC.If its a SATA SSD the connection is 5 Mb/s, because SATA SSDs are only that fast, if its NVMe its 10 Mb/s, because NVME SSDs are faster. Not having the SSDS inside a case means you don't have to open it up to fit and remove the SSDs, or have to worry about a screw or a fiddly little easy to lose gizmo to hold the other end down. It also means the SSD is well ventilated when operating.

  I wouldn't bother buying anything that only supports NVMe, but not SATA SSDs. And I'd especially not buy something that only supports NVMe and costs more than ones that support both protocols.

  My only problem with the Simplecom SA506 is that its USB C only. But USB C to USB A converters are cheap.

    netsurfer on 24/05/2023 - 13:34

    Every product has its uses. SA506 is handy (I have a similar one, except the one I have, I can use my own usb-c cable instead, because those units come with a really short USB-C cable, mine one also has the m.2 SSD goes in from the top).

    However, when you really think about it, a $20 enclosure with the cover not closed can do the same thing SA506 does. I use that method too. Fixed converters on each PC or an el cheapo enclosure you just move around with it. Both can work. Slightly better quality enclosures for SSDs you do use a lot.

    For most people, nowadays, probably would get the Realtek based chipset which supports both NVMe and SATA (there is also an Asmedia chipset that does that too). However, for comparison purposes, I do have 1 Asmedia enclosure and 1 JMicron enclosure. If a lot of branded external SSDs use Asmedia chipset, a fairer comparison would be use an enclosure with the same Asmedia chipset as well.

    My main gripe with my SA506 equivalent is the included short cable (and the included USB-C to USB-A converter is cheap quality, which drops speed to USB 3.2 gen 1). SA506 has cosmetic benefit, but it is still basically a m.2 converter with Realtek chipset.

      mine one also has the m.2 SSD goes in from the top

      I bought the SA506 thinking that's what the slot in the top was for. But on it its only so you can see the SSD is plugged all the way in.

      My main gripe with my SA506 equivalent is the included short cable

      Agreed. Its annoying. My PC's type C slot is vertical and the SA506's cable is barely long enough to be able to twist the connector through 90 degrees so I can leave the SA506 flat on the table.

      • 

        netsurfer on 24/05/2023 - 18:53

        I think SA506's side loading approach is better. Top loading is okay for desktop, but for using it with a laptop, it seems weird.

        Yeah, the short cable is annoying, but replacing it with a proper cable (i.e. Lenovo one) adds another $15.

    Last time I looked into this you couldn’t run TRIM over USB, has this changed?

    If not is a lack of TRIM(ing) on these drives a problem long term?

    • 

      GordonD on 24/05/2023 - 17:57

      Last time I looked into this you couldn’t run TRIM over USB

      Mine says in the features section of the spec "supports USAP for faster data speed, supports TRIM for improved data writing to extend SSD life".

      • 

        Grok on 24/05/2023 - 20:29

        Have you tried running TRIM on an M.2 in one of these adapters?

  Evostar on 24/05/2023 - 13:36

  interesting reading. how can you find out the controller? thanks

  • 

    netsurfer on 24/05/2023 - 13:44

    It's best if the seller specified it in the item description. However, to confirm, you just plug it into a PC, normally, the option to safety eject it would give out the information about the enclosure. If the maker did some tweak to it, then you need to check the VID and PID in device manager. Check USB Attached SCSI (USA) Mass Storage Service in device manager while the enclosure is plugged in.

    Honestly, it doesn't really matter unless you really cannot stand JMicron chipset. However, if you are one of those people, then you would know how to check.

    If you are a bit concerned, just get one with both NVMe and SATA support, the 2 common chipsets for that are both okay. Honestly, USB 3.2 gen 2 is no big deal. USB 3.2 gen 2x2 and Thunderbolt are superior.

        Your Realtek 9210B is the same as mine:

        NV2 1TB, Realtek 9210B / USB 3.2 gen 2, Apple Silicon M1 Pro
        NV2 1TB, Intel Thunderbolt 3.0, Apple Silicon M1 Pro

        On Macs, make sure you use APFS not FAT32. Actually, on Windows, don't use FAT32 either, use NTFS. If you must use FAT32 because that SSD has to be used on both Windows and Mac, then accept a speed drop, especially in high queue depth situation. Basically don't multi task too much on that external SSD formatted in FAT32 mode.
