full metal heatsink lid is important, overheating ssd not a good thing, the reasonably sized heatsink on this is the absolute minimum you should expect. Many other enclosures use less or have heatsinks that are covered by plastic, orico's own clear plastic models do this, none of the clear models have adequate cooling, even the one with the fake embedded heatsink. On heavy sequential writes drives heat up a lot, some enclosures get away with just throttling but it can't be good for the drive. Even this gets a bit hot for my liking on full drive writes and i've pointed a fan or just zip tied a larger m.2 heatsink in place of the lid. I think people are just using slow drives or letting their drives cook in enclosures, and or are mostly doing light writes and reads to never really heat the drive. station drivers have the updated firmware for this, current working one in my experience is rtl9201 1.32.49

First use was to create a windows 11 system image from an M2 C: to D: on this device. Now I have this to examine those old SSD SATA and M2 drives without opening the PC case. Works on spin SATA drives as well. Also used to clone a 512GB M2 to a 2TB M2.

Solid Black with NO markings on Front or Top... Wish I cam with a STICKER. The Branding is simply marked under neath. Clean... Cords are long enough. Seperrate power adapter. (NON USB 5V POWER)

- Able to connect a variety of HDD and SSDs. - Easy to clone drives from computer or bare drive using Ccloner

Great price, handles my two 8tb HDDs just fine, looks great.

Prettiest simple, easy-plug-in play

So easy to use


These are easy to use since you just push the button to open and easy mount the m.2.

Just works. Comes with clear instructions (once you read the correct side) and feels fairly durable. The lights for the % done is bright enough and clear.


IT guy here. Amazing value. Nice packaging, screw driver included, spacers, and a nice heat sink that worked well. I used it to clone my SSD in my new Dell Inspiron 7706 2 in 1 to a larger SSD.

This is the best enclosure that I have come across! I can quickly insert a HDD and it will connect immediately. I can then remove the HDD and insert a SSD and it will connect immediately as well, all at "true" USB 3.0 speed. I purchased 2 of these and both have performed flawlessly for more than a year now, and that includes swapping drives into and out of the case as I see fit. It even comes with the USB 3.0 cable that is just the right length for laptop work. I am purchasing another one, even though the price has gone up 50% simply because they are soooo good to work with as an enclosure.

Inexpensive. Simple. It works.

Easy to clone NVMe drives that would otherwise be a huge pain. No setup, built in functionality, just works. can handle a larger Target NVMe, which was my use case, upgrading an existing OS drive in a Laptop.


Clear case is elegant and any techie will love to see the bare drive!


It works fine now.
