Review on BGNing Aluminum NVMe PCIe USB 3.1 HDD Enclosure - M.2 to USB SSD Hard Drive Case, Type C 3.1 M Key Connector, HDD Box for Desktop PC by Harry Love

Revainrating 2 out of 5

A device with potential. But not quite there yet.

Pro: The internal chipset is a JMicron and registers itself as a USB Attached SCSI Protocol (UASP) device under hardware control. Pros: Requires at least 0.3A to start and measure my device, with a maximum load of 0.78A. Cons: Not suitable for booting most operating systems due to limited cluster size and needs to be reformatted to 4K or 8K sectors ( this may be related to my NVME SAMSUNG 960 EVO 256GB device itself). Cons: Temperatures rise quickly for moderate file transfers, and large transfers required the fan to run in the shell. Neut: Connects to most of my devices including my desktop computer and Android phone with mid-speed SATA. Engineer suggestion: Use Thunderbolt 3 for the header, not just USB-C, for four times the bandwidth. I'm willing to accept an increase in size so that the micro-fan can help with heat dissipation.

Pros
  • Fits many
Cons
  • Available in white only
