Sabrent are well worth a look. They make good enclosures as do Ugreen.

I have a number of Sabrent NVME enclosures, never had an issue with them and seem to work with good compatibility to older/slower standards when required.

No problem with compatibility.
I've really struggled with getting consistent speed from my external NVMEs. I got a USB checker to check all my cables etc.

Usb 4 would be good future proofing, iv got so many usb 3 10g nvme enclosures now so don't want to spend more on old tech but the fanxiang md86 is now under 30 quid so it's 20 quid cheaper than the dockcase it's copied

What you guys thinking?

I don't see what's special or a deal about that enclosure.

That's expensive for a 10gpbs. You can get one half the price of that from Sabrent.

For that money you can get a USB4.
