ORICO Case & SSD Size - Enquiries - 10-30-2022
Dear all,
I saw your tutorial "ORICO USB 4 and Thunderbolt 4 NVMe Case Review and Testing - ORICO-M234C3-U4" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaS8ZgdrMnM).
I have a couple of questions.
My idea is to build a 4TB “my” SSD external disk, using a Seagate FireCuda 530 with Heatsink within a ORICO-M208C3-U4 case.
I would like to use it as external drive for my Mac mini. This means, Thunderbolt is for me "better" than USB.
My first question is:
Is ORICO really the best (fastest) case? I also saw the OWC Envoy Express, Thunderbolt. But as far as I correctly read their specs, it seems slower that ORICO.
The second question is:
If I choose ORICO as a case, does the Seagate FireCuda 530 with Heatsink really fits in?
Thank you in advance for your hints / suggestions
Best regards
Val

This case is made for NVMe which comes without a heatsink. The metal case is supposed to keep it at a fair temperature. If you decide to keep it on, it should still fit.
This OWC is indeed slower than Orico around 400MB/s https://amzn.to/3SO2srX
Here are few good alternatives with NVMe support.
