In the rest of this review, we compare the Plugable USBC-NVME with a host of other storage bridges (including the TEKQ Rapide Thunderbolt 3 enclosure). Note that only the MyDigitalSSD M2X belongs to the same specific category as the Plugable USBC-NVME. The table below presents the detailed specifications and miscellaneous aspects of the units and how they compare.

The 10Gbps Type-C Enclosure for M.2 2230 NVMe SSD JMS583 USB3.1 Gen2 features an JMS583 controller to enable fast transmission speeds of up to 1GB/s in USB 3.1 Gen 2 mode. With its 52mm x 28mm size and 24 gram weight, this M.2 2230 SSD Enclosure is a small yet versatile choice for various personal projects. The enclosure features an ultra-durable and rugged aluminum alloy CNC case for exceptional durability even in tough environments. Plus, it comes with free USB 3.1 10Gbps C to C cable and A to C cable at no additional cost, making it even more convenient to connect on the go! SPECIFICATION In this review, we are focused on the USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports available in contemporary computing systems. BR: 10.7 GB Blu-ray folder structure of the IDT Benchmark Blu-ray (the same that we use in our robocopy tests for NAS systems) While it may not offer the highest performance or absolute best value for money, it’s earned its place in my everyday carry, thanks to its minuscule size and great looks. We chose three different USB 3.1 Gen 2 hosts on two different machines to evaluate the Plugable USBC-NVME enclosure:

Plugging in the enclosure reveals what makes it stand out – its 1.3-inch screen. When in standby, the home screen displays whether that power loss protection capacitor is charged, the SSD model currently installed, the remaining life of the SSD, and the amount of data that has been read from or written to the drive since it was powered on.

Usually, PC Mark 8 reports time to complete the trace, but the detailed log report has the read and write bandwidth figures which we present in our performance tables. Note that the bandwidth number reported in the results don't involve idle time compression. Results might appear low, but that is part of the workload characteristic. Note that the same CPU is being used for all configurations. Therefore, comparing the numbers for each trace should be possible across different DAS units. Readers interested in looking at all the graphs in one shot can choose the 'Expand All' option in the dropdown menu.

Use the PowerShell command Optimize-Volume -DriveLetter H -ReTrim -Verbose (assuming that the drive connected to the storage bridge is mounted with the drive letter H) Compared to the MyDigitalSSD M2X's 56C at the end of the test with the JHL6540, we find that the Plugable USBC-NVME ended up at 62C, despite taking a slightly longer time to complete the benchmark. Based on this, we can conclude that the thermal solution of the M2X is slightly better than the USBC-NVME. However, it has to be kept in mind that the M2X is not a tool-less solution.
