It features a USB3.2 Gen2 X2 Type-C to NVMe PCI-E interface, which supports speeds of up to 20Gbps. In this review, I will take a closer look at this product to help you determine if it's worth your investment.

Design and Build Quality:

The ORICO 20Gbps M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure Adapter comes in a sleek and stylish grey color, which adds a touch of elegance to the product. The design is simple, yet eye-catching, with its smooth edges and brushed aluminum finish. The enclosure measures 4.33 x 1.50 x 0.51 inches and weighs only 1.41 ounces, making it ultra-portable and easy to carry around in your pocket or laptop bag.

The build quality of the enclosure is good. The upper part is made of aluminum, while the bottom is made of plastic. The aluminum provides excellent heat dissipation, and the built-in cooling fan and double-sided cooling holes ensure that the hard drive enclosure operates in an optimal temperature range, which helps to maximize the performance and lifespan of the SSD.

Compatibility and Performance:

The ORICO 20Gbps M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure Adapter is compatible with M.2 NVMe M-Key (based on PCI-E) 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280. It is not compatible with M.2 SATA-based SSD, M. 2 PCIe AHCI solid state drives, M.2 SSD from Mac, mSATA SSD, and non-M.2 form factor SSDs. The enclosure can be used with a range of devices such as PCs, laptops, smart TVs, smart routers, and PS4, making it versatile and highly functional.

In terms of performance, the ORICO 20Gbps M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure Adapter is no slouch. It supports a maximum theoretical speed of up to 2000MB/s, which is blazing fast. The performance is achieved through the use of ORICO's latest USB3.2 Gen2 technology, which supports up to 20Gbps transmission bandwidth and uses a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface with a theoretical bandwidth of 4GB/s. This fully meets the bandwidth requirements of USB 3.2 20Gbps (2.5GB/s) and supports NVMe. The enclosure includes two data cables, a USB Type-C to Type-C and a USB Type-A to Type-C, both with a length of 0.15m, which provides flexibility in matching with the purpose.

Ease of Use and Customer Service:

One of the best things about the ORICO 20Gbps M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure Adapter is its ease of use. The enclosure's plug-and-play design makes it a breeze to install and use, and it also supports front and back plug, further increasing its convenience.
