Satechi M.2 Enclosure, USB4 NVMe SSD Pro Enclosure, 40Gbps, up to 16TB, Aluminum Enclosure with Silicone Pin, Polycarbonate Casing, USAP SSD Trim for Sizes 2280/2260/2242/2230mm (SSD Not Included)

Genuinely achieves 3200MB/s on MacBook Pro (M1 Max) using WD SN850X SSD (2TB) using the supplied cable. However, curiously, I cannot achieve anything close to this speed with any of my longer USB4 cables, even though they are rated for 40Gbps speed. I am not sure why? This enclosure uses the same ASMEDIA ASM2464PD chipset as the Zike drive, which seems to be the fastest performing chipset currently available (June 2024). Superb build quality as always from Satachi. Colour-wise, it is darker than Apple's original silver anodised aluminium, but paler than the space grey. It matches neither. I only mention because I could not tell from photos and nobody else mentioned it.

This is well built, practical to install and reaches beyond 3 Gb/s with USB4. That is for the 3 stars. Why 2 missing stars? Despite it's provided with a thermal pad, it can't sustain a long copy with my SSD (Samsung 990 Evo Plus). 1 Tb copy between 2 SSD's and it fails : It heats up and disconnects from the Mac. Which means that its cooling capacity can't cope with the hottest SSD's. I will continue to use this enclosure, but with a SSD that runs cooler, unfortunately not the Samsung !

it's not even thunderbolt lol

I have been using this drive everyday for about a month. I am very happy with its performance, I have installed a 2TB Samsung 990 PRO drive in it and it I have it connected to a 16" MacBook Pro with the M3 PRO. You can not tell the difference when using this drive or the internal SSD. It does get a bit warm but nothing crazy. The fit and finish is also very good and you do not need any tools to open and change the drive. Read: 3000MB/s Write: 3200MB/s Highly Recommend

Quick delivery. Well made although the little rubber 'plug' that secures the SSD is a little fiddly. Getting good speeds consistent with USB4 on a TB 5 port and a WD-Black SN850x ssd. Runs quite warm (idles around 50c) but never so hot it seems to throttle. Very pleased

Das Ding ist schnell und die Installation sehr einfach. Vor allem das Handling, ohne Schraubenzieher das Ding aufzubekommen, resp. zu verschliessen ist schon cool. Und die Verarbeitung finde ich top.

ssd換装のため購入 素早い転送速度、安定した熱放出で問題なく交換できました 付属のケーブルも取り回しやすい柔らかさ、長さでした

Very fast, well-built and tool-less case. Speeds well above 3000 MB/s are no problem with fast enough SSDs like the WD SN850X . Even the old Samsung 980 was twice as fast after switching it to this case - up to 2400 MB/s . However, in my brief testing it did not work well with cheaper SSDs without DRAM but using Host Memory Buffer like the Lexar NM620. Tests done on Apple M1 Mac Mini. I’m using this case as an external startup disk because the Mini only has 256 GB of storage. Nitpicking: The supplied cable is a bit short. If you replace it, make sure to use a good quality TB4/USB4 cable as a bad one will impact speed negatively.
