I purchased a few different NVMe enclosure's a few months ago and have been trying them out and I thought I would do a small review incase anyone is looking for a decent ssd enclosure.

The Unionsine and HIKEMI are the same enclosure's they just have different styling,the only thing different between the two enclosure's circuit boards is into upper righthand corner of the enclosure by the usb c connector and I think the HIKSEMI has a bigger capacitor but I'm not sure what the part is for sure,these 2 enclosure's also come with an extra screw that holds the ssd down at the back end of the enclosure.

All 3 enclosure's come with the same accessories such as a wrist style strap 2 usb cables an A to C and an C to C cable,all 3 enclosure's also come with thermal pads as well ,the Jeyi comes with the red thermal pads and the Unionsine and HIKSEMI come with grey thermal pads shown in the picture's with the enclosure's.

The Unionsine and HIKSEMI use a Realtek RTL9210-B usb controller and are 10Gbps and they also support NVMe and Sata ssd's,with real world testing using a Sabrent Rocket 4.0 1TB ssd transferring large files that were 20Gb I got rock solid 712mb's while being plugged into my usb 3.1 gen 2 port on the backside of my mobo.

The Jeyi enclosure came with 2 screws that hold the back of the enclosure on a silver and a black screw and also came with a screw driver wrist strap and 2 usb cable's as well for A to C and C to C connections.

The Jeyi use's a Micron JMS 583 usb controller and when I tested the Jeyi enclosure with the same Sabrent ssd I got the same result's 712mb's speeds.

What I found with the Jeyi enclosure it is made of thicker aluminum for sure then the HIKSEMI and Unionsine enclosure's and you can feel the weight difference in your hand,I also found that because the HIKSEMI and Unionsine enclosure's use slide on backs that it didn't feel like the thermal pad made great contact with the back panel of the of the enclosure.

I found that with the Jeyi enclosure because that set's in and there is a small tab on the end of the back plate that goes into the enclosure where usb connector is located that the thermal pads made better contact.

I wouldn't say that it's a deal breaker with the Unionsine of the HIKSEMI that the thermal pads don't touch the case that well because I found with a good quality ssd like Crucial and Sabrent they didn't get very warm at all if the thermal pads were used or not.

With the Jeyi having more aluminum I wouldn't say it's a concern that the HIKSEMI and Unionsine are going to be weak or flimsy all 3 enclosure's are very solid and well built and machined nicely.

All 3 of these enclosures are made by the Unionsine company and they also make Orico and Yottamaster enclosure's as well as other brands from what I understand.

I'm posting links to each enclosure and I want to be clear that I'm just an end user of these enclosure's and I in no way have anything to do with aliexpress or selling them.

Depending on what the Canadian dollar is doing you can find these enclosure's around 16 and 19 bucks,I was able to get all of mine at 16.76 Cad with free shipping and all took at about 10 to 14 days to arrive.

As expensive as the ROG Arion is I appreciate the fact that it doesn't have exposed screw(s) holding it closed. The locking mechanism is extremely secure. I'd feel confident dropping the enclosure down the stairs that the cover wouldn't pop off. These look fragile in comparison.

Otherwise I'm glad to see more of these continue to hit the market because I definitely see more of these enclosures in my future.

The reason I went with these enclosure's is because the ROG Arion use's a RTL9210B controller which is also 10Gbps,if the ROG Arion was 20 or 40Gbps then I may have gotten it although I don't have a pc that has anything 20 or 40Gbps yet at least those enclosure's would be future proofed a bit but I wasn't going to fork over the extra coin just for a better case.

I did see some 20Gbps enclosure's on sale that I liked and picked them up and they should be here soon and I'm going to do a quick review on them.

If you are looking to get some of these enclosure's in the future I would look at getting the JEYI because it's more solid built and also because the of the way the back goes on the enclosure and thermal pads make better contact with the enclosure,the JEYI also doesn't use a separate screw to hold the end of the ssd down they leave a peace of metal that's shaped like a post the the end of the ssd sit's on.

@Izerous Ignore my reply above,I only seen the part about where you said you were glad about more enclosure's hitting the market.

In response to you saying these enclosure's are flimsy I wouldn't say that all,the HIKSEMI and Unionsine have the thinner metal of all 3 enclosure's and the back panels are the biggest offender's for sure.

But as far as the JEYI enclosure goes it's very solid all round,I was going to compare the difference in the thickness of the material of the enclosure's and still may but I have to get my digital calipers back that I lent out lol.
 
When I travel the laptop and Arion come with me so I specifically wanted something a bit more durable for that purpose.

I'll likely end up with a few of these in the office and another one for just around the house that are not going to see the same kind of.potential abuses. Been using a 2.5in mobile hdd for example for time machine backups a fast NVMe enclosure that never leaves my desk makes more sense for that.

I just wanted to update this thread to post new findings that I didn't see when I first reviewed the Jeyi enclosure.

When I did the review I just stuck the Sabrent ssd's in the enclosure's M.2 slot and didn't bother putting the back panel on because the Sabrent ssd's I used for testing were for a friend that I ordered for him.

From what I find was that the thermal pad's that Jeyi includes with the enclosure work for fine for an ssd that has memory module's on just one side of the ssd and touch's the back panel just fine without putting to much pressure on the memory modules,I know this because I have a Crucial P3 1TB in a Jeyi enclosure already.

I just got my Sabrent 2TB ssd's in that I'm going to use in the Jeyi enclosure's and put the Sabrent's in using the included thermal pads and they are to thick for the bottom side of the ssd where the memory modules touch the side of the enclosure where the circuit board is mounted to.

The Sabrent ssd's have memory modules mounted on both sides of the ssd's circuit board.

I feel that when I tried to screw the back panel on there's to much pressure just trying to push it down by hand and I don't want to stress any solder joints and then have them break and there goes my ssd.

I ordered some of this thermal pad material tha is sold by Jeyi and it's a multi pack of different thickness's and I will update this thread when I get it to let you guys which one I feel works the best.

I got in the multi pack of thermal pad material and I used the white pads on the side of the ssd that touch's the the enclosure itself and I used the pink pads for the ones that touch the back panel.
