Review on πŸ’» Sabrent EC-NVME USB 3.1 Silver Aluminum Enclosure for M.2 NVMe SSD: High-Speed Data Transfer and Secure Storage Solution by Kari Barley

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Very nice and solid case : TOO MANY VINE REVIEWS

Very nice and solid case. I use it with Samsung 970 EVO PLUS. There are many reviews of this product on VINE. Normally, if a product is really good, it should have a lot of USER reviews (not Vine). Vine users are sponsored for feedback. It doesn't matter if they are impartial, they are not regular users who come to Amazon to buy the product in question, so their ratings/usages are different from regular users who come to Amazon looking for a specific product. This summary is primarily intended for those copying large files (60GB to 500GB+) from one case (which are readable) to another device. The copy process always stops prematurely in the middle of the copy process when the enclosure is connected to a USB-C port that supports USB 3.1 Gen 2 (from the enclosure). works 90% of the time, ie copying doesn't stop/break in the middle. I will update and update this review later and make it more concise later. I've spent a lot of money trying to get readings (copies from the app while plugged into a USB-C port (USB 3.1 Gen 2) to work. To troubleshoot and isolate issues, I've I bought and tried the following: two Samsung 970 EVO 1TB NVMe PCIe, M.2, one Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB NVMe PCIe, M.2, one Dell XPS 15 9570 32GB Storage, 1TB NVMe, PCIe, M. 2 SSD). I've tried three different NVMe, PCIe, M.2 cases and they all show the same behavior when writing/copying large files from any source to the case with a 970 EVO or 970 EVO plus installed when the case is on USB is connected. C. the USB 3.1 Gen 2 port and writing/copying to the case "ALWAYS" works 100% without any problems. However, try to copy the same file written to the case with 970 EVO or 970 EVO Plus NVMe, PCIe, M.2 to any other drive (internal or external) and the copy will start but the files are ALWAYS terminated. ALWAYS fails to shut down no matter what device/memory/drive is written to. The irony is that a Samsung T5 1TB case with 1TB inside will NEVER FAIL if copied from it. from cold to cold for the duration of the copy. See below for details. I will update this review later. In any case, nothing to complain about except the fact that this corpus, like the others below, "ALWAYS" fail in the middle of a copy when trying to read large files from the corpus (which are read from the corpus). to copy any of the following drives when the enclosure is connected to a 10Gb/s USB-C Gen 2 port, plus Thunderbolt. Windows 10 Pro, Dell XPS 15 9550 and 9570 both systems: 32GB memory, 1TB SSD NMVe, PCIe, M.2Plug Sabrent chassis with 970 EVO Plus chassis to USB-C port. WRITING to the case is very, very fast, as expected, and never fails or stops prematurely while writing (copying) to the case. backup file) the same file that was just written to the chassis, copy from chassis fails in the middle of copying from chassis to internal drive in XPS 15 (NVMe, PCIe, M.2 SSD 1TB PM951) and also occurs crash during of copying from the case when copying to any of the following USB devices: USB 3.1 devices: Seagate Portable 5TB, Seagate 8TB HUB, WD 4TB Portable NVMe PCIe M.2 Internal Samsung PM951 1TBI tried many from the case to copy times when it was in a USB-C port. Retrimmed the internal drive in XPS 15 before copying it from the chassis and writing it to PM951 NVMe PCIe M.2 internal drives. DO NOT ALWAYS COPY the same large file that was just written to the corpus. File size from 80GB to 450GB. Copies a file (100GB to 500GB+) from the enclosure to the internal drive in XPS 15 at a steady 750MB/s, then abruptly slows down and then freezes at 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% ( completed ) , but never successfully completes the copy. THIS WILL NEVER COPY THE SAME FILE THAT WAS WRITTEN TO IT FROM THE USB-C PORT TO A DEVICE. HOWEVER, WHEN THE CHASSIS IS PLUGED INTO A USB 3.1 USB-A PORT, 90% of the time it will successfully copy the same file from the chassis to any internal or external drive at around 375MB/s. This body is not the only one affected. I've tried the following enclosures and they all exhibit the same behavior, so I suspect the USB-C port is overloaded and dying while copying. I've seen other iMac and MacBook Pro reports and reviews online. Case copies only work when not connected to a USB-C port.
