Because I usually do a lot of video editing, and I am a staunch mini host enthusiast, I like all kinds of mini hosts, but the only thing is that the storage space is relatively small, plus the usual company-home, home-company mobile office, so the M.2 SSD has become my must-have storage. Compared to the M.2 SSD, I prefer the M.2 SS+ HDD enclosure, which can also achieve high-speed storage, and can take out the M.2 or replace it with another M.2 if needed, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
I had an M.2 SSD enclosure before that, but there were two main drawbacks:
One is the plastic shell, even if the heat dissipation vest is installed inside, the heat is still relatively large, and the shell is not wear-resistant;
Second, it is more troublesome to disassemble, and every time you install an M.2 SSD, you have to find a small screwdriver to fix it tightly, which is very troublesome.
So based on the above two points, my requirements for buying a new SSD enclosure are that the heat dissipation must be better, and then it must be easy to disassemble and assemble, and it is best to install it without tools.
I searched and searched, and I finally got this one
ORICO USB4 air-cooled master SSD enclosure, Orrick this brand should be very familiar with the industry, more than ten years ago I was using his mechanical hard disk enclosure, you think about how many years it has been, of course, now NVMe SSD has become the mainstream, so Orrick will naturally not fall, support Thunderbolt 3 / Thunderbolt 4, USB4.0 hard disk enclosure has long been made.
This ORICO USB4 air-cooled master SSD enclosure completely covers my two needs above, not only tool-free disassembly and assembly, including the installation of the SSD are tool-free, but also a high-speed turbofan in the hard disk enclosure, which is very 6, directly forming an air duct in the internal space to blow the heat out directly.
The SSD I use is KIOXIA's 1T SSD, which is directly installed with Win to Go, which can also take care of video data storage in daily life, which is quite convenient. Then the whole installation process is very simple, just use the buckle card to go up, and there is also a gap between the bottom of the hard disk box, so that the wind brought by the turbofan can blow the hard disk up and down.
Of course, you can also paste the heat dissipation sticker in the accessories on the top of the hard disk (the official is blue, and the orange in the picture is my usual use), and then cover the heat dissipation metal vest in the accessories, then this heat dissipation effect is simply amazing, and the measured temperature is also thirty or forty degrees, which is quite "cold".
This Orrick USB4 air-cooled master SSD enclosure supports Thunderbolt 3/Thunderbolt 4 and USB4.0 interfaces, compared with the common USB3.0, the theoretical speed is increased by more than 8 times, 40Gbps transmission, as long as your host is fast enough, then Orrick USB4 hard disk enclosure is fast enough, there is no doubt about it.
In the actual speed test of CrystalDiskMark 8.0.4 and TxBENCH, two professional speed test software, it can be seen that the read speed of this hard disk enclosure can be as high as 3700MB/s or more, and the write speed can reach more than 3100MB/s, note that it must be a desktop, mini host or notebook that supports Thunderbolt 3/Thunderbolt 4 or USB4, if your host interface speed cannot be reached, then obviously the hard disk enclosure will be limited by your host interface speed.
In the actual copy file test, do you see the copy curve? That's too stable, the whole process is fast reading and writing, and the speed is very stable, there is no such thing as the kind of fast start and slow back that everyone usually encounters with U disk or mobile hard disk, ORICO USB4 Air Cooling Master This SSD box is too stable, fast and stable.
With such an air-cooled artifact, whether you are M.2 2280/2260/2242/2230, all are compatible, from the shell to the internal SSD installation, it is all tool-free disassembly and assembly, the shell is made of aluminum alloy + turbofan + heat dissipation vest + heat dissipation air duct quadruple heat dissipation design, plus C TO C/A support PD100W 2-in-1 data cable, ORICO Orrick Air Cooling Master USB4 M.2 NVMe SSD enclosure is too much for me, 3-4GB/ The measured copy speed of seconds, the temperature is always low and "cold", in one word: perfect!
