Review on πŸ’¨ Wanfocyu USB Type C M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure Adapter - Faster Data Transfer & Advanced Cooling by Lily Ellison

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Heats up but cools down quickly - 900 reads and writes - Upgraded old AMD PC Good but weird

Update - Still working great after 2+ years. Installed 3 different NVME disks and all worked fine. Works very well. The first step before assembly is to find bifocals or good reading glasses. It gets very hot under extreme stress (e.g. full format) which is good as the panel + heatsink + case removes heat from the nvme drive. It also cools down very quickly. With normal use, it probably never gets hot. This device is worth every euro! The update is still a great device, but older AMD motherboards appear to have a fixable driver issue. The old AMD A8-7600 runs about as fast as the new X1 tablet. GA-990fx gaming also works with fX8370, but slightly slower. The FX8370 only worked with a USB-A to USB-C cable. The device was detected as an external USB 2.0 device connected to a USB 3.0 port. Strange thing to get it working on both computers. I first had to plug a Type-A cable into a USB 3.0 port and then use Type-C to type C on the A8-7600. However, on the FX8370, only a Type A cable will work. On the FX8370, a Type C would indicate a USB 2.0 device is connected. So Type A worked on both old motherboards, GA-990FX-Gaming and GA-f2a88xm-d3hp. But Type C to Type C only works on GA-F2a88Xm. A reinstall of the operating system, which I won't do, will probably fix the problem of the device being recognized as a USB 3.2 (3.0, 3.1) device instead of a USB 2.0 device. The USB-to-C copy started at over 1GB for the first 3GB and then dropped to just over 600 for the rest of the 10GB file. Copying Form C to USB was consistently 600+
