MAIWO M.2 NVMe 40Gbps SSD Enclosure, USB4 Type C, Built-in Turbo Fan, Compatible with Thunderbolt4/USB4/3.0/2.0, Tool-Free, 8TB Capacity, Aluminum Alloy for NVMe Size

Pros: metal body, fast speed Cons: bulky, very noisy fan, bright blue led indicator

Very happy with this NVME Enclosure. Depending on what NVME drive is being used I have seen Read and Write speeds past 7000mbs. Internal fan is quiet I can not hear it. Drive does end making some heat after a long file transfer but performance does not decrease. I do wish the cable it came with was longer and the only issue I had was the aluminum shim it came with was useless when trying to cool the NVME and needs some thermal paste between the lid and metal shim otherwise heat transfer is poor. plus adding thermal paste not only helps drastically with cooling the drive it also keeps the shim stuck to cover. I just ended up using a zip tie to hold a small 40mm fan on the front to cool drive. Soldered up a USB cable to power the fan with 5 volts off PC

I love the simplistic tool free construction of this external SSD enclosure. The enclosure has a built in fan and it is thermostatically controlled by the board in the enclosure. No need to worry, as the device should sense when to turn on or off the fan. Very silent in operation so far. Speeds are very good, rated to 40Gbps and with the current Nvme memory I have installed, I am seeing speeds as fast as, if not faster than the installed memory in my M4 Mac Mini. The all aluminum enclosure should dissipate the heat quite well, but a note: the heat sink and silicone heat pad do not seem to make contact with the external case, so not sure how well the heat will be transferred for dissipation. So far, I am very pleased with the look and performatnce of this enclosure, and it sits very nicely on my Mac Mini.

Produto bem construído e acabado, digno de premium, usei um nvme de 1tb Samsung e consegui taxas ótimas, 3000 MB leitura e 1600 Gravação. Recomendo muito. Testes realizados no meu MacBook Air M4

I've just put an EVO 970 Plus 1TB into this unit and it's working fine. Used it as a recorder drive with an ATEM Extreme ISO and worked perfectly. Write speeds on my M1 Max (thunderbolt 4) were just under 1400 and read at just over 3000 as tested with AJA. Just remember that the fan makes just enough noise that if you're near a condenser mic, it'll pick it up. Fortunately the fan speed is very consistent so if you're using audio clean up software like Izopte, it'll get filtered. Only thing I would have preferred is that the cable end be right angled to make it sit better and out of the way.

Works, on thunderbolt 4 port to basic laptop nvme, movie transfer was ~1GB/s. Construction is okay.
