Would I be able to clone my current nvme drive in motherboard (Samsung 960 evo 250gb) to a larger drive (Corsair mp510 960gb) in this enclosure and have it bootable when swapped? I want to upgrade my OS nvme then use my old one as external storage in this enclosure.

I used this device to clone my Windows 10 256GB hard drive to a 1TB hard drive. After completion of the cloning, I installed the 1 tb in the windows laptop and it has worked perfectly since then. I now use the 256gb drive in the Orico device for external storage.

Has anyone tried this device with a GEN 3 NVME drive like a Samsung 970 1TB NMVE GEN 3?

I'm using it that way and it works great.

The ORICO TCM2 is a USB-C M.2 NVMe enclosure for turning a compatible M-Key SSD into external storage, suited to users who want 10 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 connectivity and tool-free installation. It fits 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280 drives and supports up to 2TB per bay.

Recommended For

People repurposing a compatible M.2 NVMe drive as portable storage can use the TCM2 to move files between computers without buying a prebuilt external SSD. Reviews tested the enclosure with different NVMe drives and reported sequential transfers around 900 MB/s in their setups.
Laptop users who want a compact drive for carrying work files or transferring data between locations are a good fit: the TCM2-C3 review describes a palm-sized enclosure for taking NVMe storage on the go, and a hands-on video describes it as convenient for carrying drives between systems.
People making occasional large file transfers or backups can benefit from its USB 10Gbps connection, provided their computer has a compatible USB port. Independent testing found near-900 MB/s sequential reads and writes in the tested setups; actual speeds depend on the drive and host connection.
Users with a spare 2230, 2242, 2260, or 2280 M.2 NVMe M-key SSD who need a single-drive USB-C enclosure are a match, as long as the drive fits the product’s supported interface and size.
