Vention KPKH0 M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure (USB 3.1 Gen 2-C) with Heat Sink Gray Aluminum Alloy Type

# Product Experience
Idles around ~37C, active temperature hovers at~55-60C during long high speed transfers.
Not entirely convinced the included thermal pad makes proper contact with the flash chips but appears to work well enough, case warms up just fine.
Lightweight, but solid feel. Ships with a single 30cm USB-C to USB-C cable.

# Comments
Since I was not able to find the chipset for this enclosure and any sensible compatibility details I hope this helps someone. So-far I have not run into any of the potential issues surrounding the JMicron 583 bridge, most likely due to my received enclosure having shipped with a recent firmware....view more # Product Experience

These things are pretty meh, if you want a faster USB stick for transfers between machines, I got these so I could use a bunch of spare NVMe drives without needing all the extra PCIe lanes, what a mistake, they overheat and throttle within 30 minutes, so stick to quick backups or transfers otherwise you'll likely kill the drive These things are pretty meh, if you want a faster USB stick for transfers between machines, I got these so I could use a bunch of spare NVMe drives without needing all the extra PCIe lanes, what a mistake, they overheat and throttle within 30 minutes, so stick to quick backups or transfers otherwise you'll likely kill the drive
