Not power efficient, could be better. but optimized for apple m1

Not power efficient, could be better. but optimized for apple m1
I moved to this enclosure for my Samsung 970 Pro simply because my old jmicron controller enclosure was consuming too much power and also was performing poorly on the 14 inch macbook pro.So i found this because it had 4.7 stars out of 5.On the old one, only one cable worked with it because it consumed too much power. On all windows systems it would keep cutting out after X number of GB and i found the reason that the controller was drawing too much power and there was no power limiter in place.So, I moved to this enclosure, knowing there were problems with optimization on Apple Silicon.There is already a heat sink provided in the top of the case so its not very hot to the touch. I installed it and connected the ssd to my computer. It booted up, as normal.DO NOTE that you have to initialize the disk if its the first time using the disk itself.I booted up a Blackmagic speed test and tried it, and I was stunned when I saw 900MB/s read and write. I knew something's up because there have notoriously been problems with the speed of the external ssds in the M1 family.So, I tried transferring an actual file, because I knew that it was the way to go. It was the way to get the fastest disk speed on Mac.To my surprise, it was actually writing at 1.06 GB a second. GB not MB1.06 * 1024 = 1085.44MB/sAnd read was maxed out at 1034.24MB/s.This is stuff i usually saw on Intel macs. And here I am, being able to replicate the success with apple silicon.Clearly, Sabrent has optimized this controller for M1 family. I was surprised they put this in mind when making this enclosure.Also, it is compatible with M.2 SATA SSD as well! Not just NVME.HOWEVER, there is a problem: some android smartphones with USB 3 ports will NOT push enough power to detect this SSD. This is a problem I came across when trying to plug the ssd into my phone, Samsung Galaxy S20 FE. Keep this in mind, you will need a USB C hub with a USB C Charging passthrough to allow the ssd to work on android phones with USB 3 ports.3 stars for this reason. Would have been 5 stars if it worked with phone without external power.

This enclosure is a winner. It is well made and works well. I cannot see any downside.

FYI, though, do appreciate that while this kind of SSD + external enclosure combination is very fast, it is nowhere as fast as the same SSD is when mounted on a motherboard. For example, I just copied 595 GB of very mixed files (126,000 of them) from a 99th percentile benchmarked PC to this device. It took 30 minutes, at a rate of 20 GB/minute overall.

This product is good. Especially for the price... BUT... it depends what you are using it for.

If you are using it just to store files and make quick transfers it is perfect.
I was using it to run my project while editing video in Final Cut Pro. And under constant connection it works flawlessly for for about 30-45 minutes and then will keep disconnecting. I tried a couple of different hard drives in it and exactly the same problem.
I would assume that this is a very high stress situation for the hardware.

That being said, sturdy product, easy to use, you get the advertised 1000Mb transfer speed, and great price. I feel it was a good purchase

It was very easy to install the SSD into the enclosure. Not much else to say, I plugged it into my PC and it worked fine.

Only complaint I have is that the included USB-C to USB-C cable is very short (about 6 inches).

I used this to swap my 500 GB NVME SSD in my PC to a 2 TB NVME SSD. I only have 1 NVME slot on my motherboard so I installed Samsung's data migration tool and used it to clone the 500GB drive (installed in the motherboard) onto the 2TB drive (in the enclosure). I then removed the 500GB from the motherboard and replaced it with the 2TB drive. The 500GB SSD is now in the enclosure and I can use it as a portable drive.

For anyone else trying this, just note I was not able to get Windows 10 to boot from the cloned SSD installed in the enclosure over USB, however it worked fine once I put the drive in the NVME slot.

This enclosure works fine; fast and stays cool. I liked the idea of a tool-free enclosure but in real-life use I found it took a fair amount of force to get the locking post at the far end of the enclosure rotated into place when installing a full-length 2280 NVME. I was using a name-brand NVME, not some cheap knock-off, which fit without any difficulty into my other NVME enclosure. This leads me to believe the source of the problem fault was with the Sabrent enclosure. I purchased the Sabrent enclosure during a flash sale for a really good price, and the performance once installed was really good, but I might have returned the product if I'd paid full price.

Purchased this product 5 months ago, no regrets!

This particular model accommodates both m.2 SSD and NVME technology drives, making this external drive enclosure more versatile and added value for the money. If you only have an m.2 ssd right now, you can easily re-use this enclosure later when you pickup a much faster NVME designed drive.

The top hinged case lid is made out of thick ribbed aluminium , the ribbed surface fins are for aiding in heat dissipation. Inside the lid is a length of thermal contact padding, that transfers the heat buildup from the nvme / ssd m.2 drive.

Prior to owning the Sabrent, I lost one ssd m.2 stick that burnt itself to failure & data loss by overheating using a different brand name ssd m.2 enclosure that used a slide-on casing and lacked any sort of thermal heat transfer. High heat will slowly kill and eventually cook chips and circuit boards. I won't mention the brand or specific unit (wasn't Sabrent), but I was not happy losing a costly m.2 drive with data on it. Hence my search for a better designed enclosure with thermal heat dissipation.

The Sabrent enclosure does get warm to the touch during heavy and/or prolonged usage but not hot enough to burn your skin. The ssd/nvme temps measured with Crystal Disk Info shows the internal chip temps getting to 50C at most (in my uses), and cools down very quickly to about 23C - the enclosure is luke warm to the touch once the drive is in idle. I don't have a temperature probe or reading gun to accurately verify the temperatures of the enclosure itself, but as I said, it doesn't get hot enough to burn you, and is cool to the touch when not in use. The simple fact that the enclosure does get warm and cools down quickly means the built in thermal heat transfer padding is doing it's job and keeping the drive inside within safe / normal operating temperatures. A drive that is kept within normal operating temps is a drive that won't prematurely die in failure from constant exposure to excessive heat buildup.

I like the tool-free design, starting with the inset push button spring mechanism that securely keeps the enclosure closed. Sabrent provides a pair of rubber mushroom topped style peg stoppers that fit into the slotted eyelets for the several sizes of nvme/m.2 drives, which keeps the drive solidly in place while also hassle-free to release and swap out drives if needed. No needing one of those tiny screwdrivers and painfully tiny m.2 screws. And the fact Sabrent provides 2, 1 for use, one as a spare just in case.

The one and only single nitpick I have with this particular enclosure model is the absurdly short 3-4" usb-c-to-c usb 3.2 10gb/s cables provided. I don't know if Sabrent chose this to keep costs down or focused solely on Laptop users. Even with that said, Laptop users probably wouldn't mind having a bit longer cable to work with, especially if desk space is cramped/limited or using the laptop seated literally on their laps, a longer cable would allow for the enclosure to be safely seated in the space between the keyboard and screen hinges instead of loosely dangling down towards the floor. Not everybody's laptop usb-c ports are seated close to the hinges either.

For those of use with Desktop PC's , the super short usb-c cable means its plugged into the port and the entire weight of the enclosure is pressing on the usb-c plug and port while the enclosure dangles. I don't like it when there's excess weight or pressures on the usb ports that ultimately leads to the ports getting worn out or damaged. For a few more dollars Sabrent could have at least provided a 8-12" length c-to-c cable and/or equal length a c-to-a cable and still maintain the usb 3.2 10gb/s rated speed transfers. Such cables to exist and are available on Amazon here to buy, by other manufacturers.

I ended up finding and purchasing a set each of longer 8-24" usb-c-to-c And usb-c-to-a rated usb 3.2 10gb/s cables from Amazon here, albiet they were a bit of a tricky find. There's tons of longer c-to-c and c-to-a phone/tablet charging cables that are only rated for usb 2.0 transfer speeds, and up to 10ft lengths; but you really have to dig through the specs and product description to find those particular extension cables with the 3.2 10gb/s transfer speed ratings. As I said, it's an annoyance and a nuisance having to search through Amazon for those specific extension cables, it wold have been really nice and good on Sabrent's part to either include longer cables with their enclosure product or at least offer longer cable lengths as parts accessories in their product store lineup.

:edit / clarification: Sabrent's store does offer a 8" Thunderbolt 3 USB-C-to-C cable with 40gb/s speed ratings, unclear if it'll work in regular non-thunderbolt usb-c ports... There's likely other people like me who don't have anything Thunderbolt 3 or newer and wouldn't have thought to look for said cables. And there's no USB-C-to-A cables for the usb 3.2 10gb/s speed ratings (or even 3.1 5gb/s speed ratings). Would have been nice if Sabrent offered a wider selection of usb-c cables in their store...

I’d rate it nearly on par with the Asus one I have. The Asus one is sleeker and slightly better built. But this one is truly tool-less. The metal body is a good heatsink which uses a thermal strip on the inside.

It works well at advertised speed, and doesn't get very warm, while working. It's easy to install and remove M2 drives of any size with an included adapter, but the adapter isn't needed for standard sized M2 drives. It's very well made. It's all metal, so it's machined well. The opening and closing mechanism is ingenious. Every one of their products that I've purchased over the years has worked well, and lasted.
