MAIWO 40Gbps M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure USB4 Type-C to 2280 NVMe Adapter Removable Magnetic Fan Support Thunderbolt3/4 USB4/3.0/2.0 Tool Free 8TB Capacity Aluminum Alloy Case (K1719)

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 have one of these. i filled it with 4x 2TB NVME drives. works fine on that front. all 4 drives detect just fine. in the description and documentation, says you can soft-raid your drives. nope. not in any dimension or plane of existence can you do that. just says "Operation not supported" other than that it works as advertised. typical throughput i see is about 1.8-2.1gb/s transfer speeds which is dead on for the port speed. i even bought another one of these enclosures to make sure it is not faulty hardware for the raid function. nope. does the same thing. i filled that one up with 2TB drives as well.

LISTEN All you need is the ASMedia 246x controller, buy whatever form factor the manufacturers provide, especially on AMD usb4.0

Product gets very hot to the point of concern about longivity. Decided not to take a chance and bought 2 heatsinks and sandwich it between them which helps a lot. I didn't feel confident about 1 heatsink based on how hot this thing gets so i used 2(lol).This slightly undermines my need to have a very small cute enclosure.🤨 At the time of purchase there was nothing about it being a frequently returned item and i wish that alert had existed at the time.Gave it 3 stars for the heat issue and suppected if the enclusure was built with an heatsink style enclusure with fins instead of solid metal it would have dissipated the heat properly.

Satisfied with the device and speed. I purchased this to run VM's (mainly Windows 11) on my Mac Mini M4. The speeds are more than acceptable. I ran the first screenshot within my Windows 11 VM and maybe VMware is caching as seems a bit high but ran Amorphous (similar to CrystalDiskMark) on the Mac and got more reasonable results with my Samsung 980 1TB drive. The fan is a little noisy as others have stated, with an otherwise silent system, I can hear the fan but with any sort of music/noise going, can't hear it. I will most likely get a longer cable and move under my desk so can't hear it anymore. For the cost, would highly recommend.

Bought this about 5 months ago for a 2TB Kingston KC3000 drive (Read: 7000MB/s and Write 6000MB/s)Enclosure worked up until yesterday afternoon. I've used it a total of 5 or 6 times total (powered on less than 24 hours). Now it just flashes the activity light but the drive no longer shows up in windows.Confirmed it was neither an issue with the NVME drive nor the cable, tested on 3 different desktop PC's and 2 laptops (2024 Asus ROG G14). Also tried 2 different NVMe drives I had on hand but none of the 3 work. Have 8 different USB 4 cables as well, no change. Only other potential point of failure is the enclosure itself.I did reach out to the company to enquire about a warranty claim (the warranty details aren't listed on the product page as of the time of this review.If / when I hear back from this company I will update my review accordingly.

Nice case, heavy heat sink and works well.

Amazingly fast enclosure! Runs hot at times but nothing to be alarmed about. Would definitely purchase from this company again!
