Review on 🔌 Tool-Free USB C to M.2 NVMe Enclosure - Thunderbolt 3 & USB 3.1 Gen 2 Compatible, 10Gbps Speeds. Includes USB-C & USB 3.0 Cables. Supports 2280 2260 2242 M.2 NVMe SSDs. by Jason Masango

A special review of the Sabrent NVMe Case revealed strange compatibility issues when copying files using USB-C. This disc will suffer the same fate. Using the case's USB-C cable from a PC, copying a file to NVMe is fast, then stops/starts and finally fails about halfway through the download. Switch to the included USB-A 3.1 cable and achieve file transfer speeds of around 350 Mbps. Strange right? This problem only occurs on the PC! I formatted my NVMe to ExFat for Mac OS and Windows compatibility. Copying files via USB-C works great on my MacBook Pro. Also just to make sure you don't have false expectations! The case has a theoretical read/write speed limit of 1000Mbps. So in practice you get 900-960 Mbit/s. The 970 evo has a read/write speed of 2500 Mbit/s, so it's severely limited. It also seems that the maximum speed when copying files is around 350 Mbit/s, so idkAs is particularly good for this case, it's quite bulky, but since NVMe is air-cooled it's a bit more intimidating to throw/toss leave it at the bottom of the bag. And there are no screws, which is cool. So I guess I still don't know if I can suggest that. I paid £445 for my 2TB 970 evo+ in this case and could have had a 2TB Samsung T5 for £330. So if I paid 115 more (140%) I got a better warranty (1200 TBW / 5 years vs 3 years) but a bulkier / more fragile drive faster. How much faster? The case appears to limit the copy speed to 350Mbps, which is 20-50% faster than an external SSD depending on the file size. But I connect my NVMe directly to the computer and then it's 2-12 times faster.
