ORICO M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure 40Gbps PCIe3.0x4 USB Type-C Aluminum Adapter, NVMe 2280 M-Key(B+M Key) External Solid State Drive Case,Compatible with Thunderbolt 3/4 USB3.2/3.1/3.0/Type C

Pros: -Nice form factor -Fast cable

Cons: -The thermal transfer between the SSD and the chassis is iffy -The heat spreader for the SSD is virtually impossible to remove once it's installed -Built-in cable adapter is a pain

Overall Review: This enclosure may technically be USB 40Gbps certified but I could only get it to run in Thunderbolt 3 mode on any given device, so the actual transfer speed was limited to 22Gbps. The included cable has a built-in adapter to USB A, but it gets in the way when you want to use USB C. Overall, the device is quick enough and definitely does work to some degree as a heat sink (it gets HOT, measured at 46C), but I wish it were as good as advertised.
