What’s happening everyone and welcome back. Today I have another M.2 SSD enclosure yes another one
and this one is from the brand ORICO. After my first video they reached out
to me seeking to address the issue of excessive heat that emanates from some of
these enclosures so hot that it can sometimes burn you and can sometimes damage your SSD.
This is their latest model called the FV35C3-G2 and this model has an all-aluminum design with
its selling point being hi data-transfer speeds M.2 compatibility and ultra-cooling.
So in this video I’ll put those to the test and let’s see what ORICO has to offer.
So don’t go anywhere that’s up next.
Welcome back. And in this package contains the enclosure itself.
One USB type C to USB type C plus USB type A combination cable.
A thermal pad. A fin to fasten the thermal pad to your SSD.
A pair of silicone plugs. A screwdriver.
And your user manual.
The design of this enclosure consists of a 100% aluminum body with a female USB type
C data port a bottom plate fastened by a screw that you remove to gain access
its internal compartments. And to the opposite end it has an LED power Light.
So to access its M.2 port using the included screwdriver simply remove
the screw that secures the bottom panel. The chipset used in this enclosure is the
ever-popular Realtek RTL9210B chipset that’s being used in every enclosure have reviewed thus far.
With this enclosure you can use 2230 2242 2260 and 2280 sizes of M.2 SSD’s up to 4TB.
So to install your SSD you first need to secure the thermal pad on
the upwards facing side of the SSD. Secure the thermal shield
as close as possible to the connecting pins leaving enough room for the silicone plugs.
Then using one of the plugs press it gently into one of allocated holes to secure it into place.
Then replace the bottom panel. Once installed correctly you then simply
connect the included USB type C combo cable to begin using your newly installed storage.
So here I have it connected to a USB type C 3.1 Gen 1 port and I’m using a Samsung M.2
980 SSD I’ll now test its data-transfer speeds. Something I discovered with this enclosure and
that is when connected to a USB A 3.1 Gen 2 port which is a red USB port it responds
very poorly during the speed tests resulting in only 42 MB/s read speed. When used on a
USB 3.1 Gen 1 port the speeds are much higher. So from this test it shows that true the RTL9210B
chipset. It has sequential read speed of 1056 MB/s and a sequential a write speed of 1023 MB/s.
These results are better than the results I got in my last enclosure video of the M128.
However seeing that chipset is the same in both models it raises some concern about
the cables being used with these enclosures. And to my surprise just as I suspected depending
on the quality of the type C cable being used it greatly affects the speed of the data-transfer.
When I use the cable from this model with the enclosure from my previous
model I got the same data-transfer speeds. So have already placed an order for some of
the highest USB type C thunderbolt 3 cables and when they arrive we
shall return to do some further testing. With its all-aluminum design and heatpad
accessories for efficient heat dissipation. During an extended file transfer test it
generated around 40°C of heat on its body which is still hot to the touch in my opinion.
So viewers there you have it. This was my review of the ORICO FV35C3-G2 M.2 SSD
enclosure. If you like its design with its heat pad accessories you get your hands on one on
their Amazon store for just $15 using the link in the description directly below this video.
