usb usb5: Manufacturer: Linux 5.13.0-48-generic xhci-hcd
usb usb5: New USB device strings: Mfr=3, Product=2, SerialNumber=1 usb usb5: New USB device found, idVendor=1d6b, idProduct=0002, bcdDevice= 5.13 There’s a fairly long output in the kernel log once I insert the device, but it ends with: The metal enclosure is quite hot to the touch even at idle, but that’s a good sign meaning it’s cooling the SSD. Here’s the USB 4.0 enclosure connected to the USB 4.0 Type-C port of UP Xtreme i11 mini PC running Ubuntu 20.04. ORICO USB 4.0 M.2 SSD enclosure in Ubuntu 20.04 We can now insert the SSD in the enclosure, secure it with one of the provided crews, before putting the cover back in place. While the specifications mention support for M.2 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280 SSDs, there are no mounting holes for the smaller size, so getting an M.2 2280 NVMe SSD is the only practical choice. We know need to open the enclosure secured with a single screw. The next step is to clip the heatsink on top of the thermal pad. Just remember to remove the plastic films before putting the thermal pad on the SSD. The only problem is that it serves as a warranty sticker too (See “Warranty void is label removed” at the bottom left corner).
My SSD comes with a sticker, and I suppose it should be better to remove it before installing the thermal pad for even better cooling. That’s not quite close to 40 Gbps, but still higher than the 10Gbps for USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports, so we’ll see if we can reach anything close to those speeds. 1,800MB/s corresponds to about 14.4 Gbps. I’ll be using a 256GB Apacer M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3 x4 SSD (AS2280P4) that’s supposed to support 1,800 MB/s read speeds and 1,100 MB/s write speed. There’s only one USB Type-C port one the device. The device ships with a USB Type-C to USB Type-C/Type-A cable, a thermal pad, a heatsink, two screws, and a multilingual user manual. The exact model I received is the ORICO M234C3-U4 with a Rose Gold aluminum enclosure (107x50x17mm), supporting M.2 M-Key and B+M Key 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280 SSDs (more on that later), and offering up to 40 Gbps through its USB 4.0 port. ORICO USB 4.0 M.2 SSD enclosure specs and unboxing In this post, I’ll check out the hardware, show how to install an NVMe SSD, and test performance in UP Xtreme i11 mini PC since it happens to come with a USB4 port. ORICO has sent me a sample of a USB 4.0 M.2 NVMe SSD enclosure for review, which was timely as I did not have a fast USB storage option for testing.
