Review on High-Speed NVMe Enclosure: PCIe M.2 2280 SSD Box with USB 3.1 Type-C, 10 Gbps Gen 2 Transfer, and USB C Cable by Brian Malith

Works well and stable. Then the question is speed. Which is just awful. See attached tests. This is with a VERY little used Samsung 960 EVO 250GB NVMe drive. I also tested two other drives of a different make/model, but the tests were within error. On the one hand, the positive side is that [FAST] any USB 3.x port you plug it into will give you at least SATA 6Gb/s. /s. On the other hand, it's terribly slow for USB 3.0, let alone 3.1. And oddly, it ran 10x SLOWER when I plugged it into my USB 3.1 Type-C port. As seen in the screenshot above. I do not quite understand. My system is a Ryzen 5 1600 on an ASRock AB350 board. I also tested this drive on a 2018 Macbook Pro 13" and it showed twice the speed; just less than 1K read/write. It helps, but I need it for a PC rather than a Mac, and it always is still quite disappointing for the speed the interface is capable of. For its price it's ok. Cloning just doesn't go any faster than the plain old SATA interface. I can test other drives to see if they are faster. Than external drive I'd rather use a cheaper 2.5" SSD with an external enclosure for less overall money.
