NVMe external usb enclosures in general have very poor thermal performance so not recommended for fast/top tier NVMe drives because of thermal throttling. Also, good dramless NVMe drives like WD SN570/580/770 can't use system ram as dram (aka HBM feature) so their performance reduce significantly in such usb enclosures. In short, there isn't much point practically to go for such usb enclosure over a good sata ssd like mx500 or 860/870 evo in usb enclosure.

You are paying extra for the supposedly superior thermal performance.

That deal ended within a few hours. Now it's back at 1000-1100.
That orico enclosure has a 50-50 chance of getting delivered with a type c cable that will work only in a specific orientation (the usb c connectors on either end are not exactly 100% same orientation wise so out of 4 possible combinations AA BB AB BA (where A & B are top & bottom surface of type c connector on either end of cable) only one combination/orientation works while another combination will work stably at only usb 2.0 speeds & will hang at any transfer at usb 3 speeds). I have this orico model & after reading a post here which figured out this solution I experimented & found out the correct combination for the type c cable & used a marker to mark the correct orientation.

Can you link me to that post.
I m receiving a sata +nvme orico in couple of days
 
Thats what i said.
BTW, the pibox one i posted is great, all metal and comes with hard case.

Thanks bro... I have a Pibox HDD Dock and it's been serving me well for the last 5 years now. Haven't faced a single disconnection issue on it ever. I'm getting the one you linked me too unless I go berserk and get the Asus one :smilingimp:

This one comes with fan and starts cooling when the temps are high. Also the build is solid.
