worst product ever, fan not working. burnt smell coming.

The speed is very good, and heat dissipation is acceptable if air flow is not obstructed in any way. My main complaint, and the reason I stopped using it daily, is excessive power consumption when it is plugged in but not being accessed. I can't be sure, but when connected to my MacBook Pro M4Pro, the enclosure fan ran continuously and the SSD *may* have been drawing power even when not having been used for an extended period. That is, it did not seem to have an effective sleep or low power mode.

Item came in nicely packaged. You slide the lid off to place your SSD card in it. I inserted a 4TB SSD that I used on my Mac Mini M4. I also bought a doc that has an encasement for a SSD card that plugs into the Mac Mini, which can save spaces. The doc stopped working and reading my card, so I thought I'd try this encasement that was simple and with no bells and whistles so to speak. It does have an internal fan, which I thought was good since it reads/writes at 40Gbps, and I know they can get pretty warm when you load files onto it. This encasement worked wonderfully and then it stopped reading again and ejecting. Found out that the Apple Mac Mini's don't have enough power to power the encasement/SSD card, so I had to connect it to a hub and now it's great. I'm thinking my doc was probably still good as well but the mac mini couldn't power it along with other external drives I had connected to it. I really like the look of the encasement. It still gets hot when you load large files like video, but it does it super fast. You will need to place it somewhere cool and out in the open. Do not lay it on anything metal as the metal will not allow it to cool. As of 10-6-26, so far had this item for about a year and a half and well past warranty. Still works great but it started to make an irritating fan noise that was too loud to ignore. I slid off the cover and took the metal fan casing off. I then pried the fan wheel off and put a tiny drop of sewing/electronic oil in the hole where the fan wheel goes into. I put it back together and started it up and now it purrs....so quiet. Simple fix.

Un peu cher, mais la connexion par câble USB-c court et la combinaison radiateur-mini éventail est un excellent environnement pour un SSD M2280 rapide et de grande capacité (2To ou plus…). Le mien (4To) chauffe un peu, mais ça demeure dans des limites acceptables, et la vitesse écriture/lecture est bonne. Si la docu était meilleure et multilingue, j’y mettrais 5*.

Usually, Original products are well designed, and well packaged. The first NVMe drive case I bought was missing the thermal pad, so I immediately returned it, and bought a 2nd one. This one was also missing the thermal pad! Rather than waste any more time, I decided to keep the case, and use one of MY own pads! I'm pretty disappointed and unhappy with Orico's apparent lack of quality control, and I seriously doubt that I'll buy any Orico products in the future, or specify any Orico products for use in applications.

Installed Win10 (clone of my full system previously in the laptop) and it works just fine.
