I use several hard drive cases with different hard drives, Crystal Drive labeling and Crystal Drive information for temperature control. I've mainly used Samsung Evo 500GB drives so far, but recently received a Qnine mission-critical mx500 SATA m2-2280 in m2 B-Key enclosure, which was the fastest drive I've used for transferring large amounts of data had, about 200GB files. Sabrent Rocket was about the same speed for the first 100 gigabytes. The second 100 gigabytes of the all-important disk slowed down a bit, and the Crystal Disk information showed a temperature of 80 degrees Celsius. The hard drive will slow down when it overheats to protect itself. The Sabrent's outer casing felt hotter, but only reached 52 degrees Celsius. The body acts as a heat sink. Both started out at about 15 gigabytes per minute, but the critical speed dropped to 12 gigabytes per minute. Both were probably limited to a USB 3.0 connection, but even if I had a USB c connection, temperature would be an issue. This Subbrent benefits from the body heating up, which acts as a heat sink. The Qnine case only got warm while the CrystalDisk information showed an alarm and the speed slowed down. The fact that the body of the rocket heats up cools the chip itself well. The Sabrent case gets hot, so it performs better when the chip heats up. The case absorbs heat better than the Qnine aluminum.
