    Question *STABLE* NVMe - USB Adapter?

    Default for the RTL9210 enclosures I own: Led flashing slow in low power mode. See post 851 for a config change to have the LED turn off in lower power mode. Feel free to try different values for SUSPEND_LED_OFF... you may find a previously undocumented setting or Slow Flash & Off may be the...

    Question *STABLE* NVMe - USB Adapter?

    I did the v1.29.12 testing on my EC-SNVE with a 970 evo plus. Led lights up when connected, blinks when reading/writing, but unfortunately stays lit after soft eject. You might want to check your .cfg file and/or current running config to see if the led flags are different from mine below...

    Question *STABLE* NVMe - USB Adapter?

    Update concerning the RTL9210 v1.29.12 firmware mentioned above... I flashed 1.29.12 to a Sabrent EC-SNVE. No major issues so far. Used the SA8307.cfg file from Sabrent's 1.25.7 f/w update package as a reference. Dumped device info / cfg for comparison and tweaked DISK_IPS_THRES to 1 minute...

    Question *STABLE* NVMe - USB Adapter?

    Could be the firmware. Could be OS security updates / CPU microcode mitigations for the spectre/meltdown series of side channel attacks that keep coming. Also could be your SSD if it's been used a lot and the cells are aging. In other news... There is some interesting work happening with...

    Question *STABLE* NVMe - USB Adapter?

    I have an Orico with the 9210b that supports both m.2 NVME and SATA. I flashed the v1.23.15 bin posted a few pages back. The zip file has two flash images... UTNVME_A_vXXX.bin and UTNVME_B_vXXX.bin. I assume the one with "B" in the name is for the 9210b. I don't recall having to choose one...

    Question *STABLE* NVMe - USB Adapter?

    I gave them partially negative feedback in the NewEgg review. Orico responded to another purchasers negative reivew. I doubt it will make a difference, but maybe they will respond to public shaming ;) I really like the enclosure I purchased... the design isn't perfect but it's great for the...

    Question *STABLE* NVMe - USB Adapter?

    Thanks for reporting the newer firmware on your device. Does the LED power off when you perform a software device eject/remove from windows? I just submitted a request for updated firmware from the Orico support site based on the issue I was having with v1.21.10. I mentioned v1.24.2. I'm not...

    Question *STABLE* NVMe - USB Adapter?

    See this thread about people asking questions related to lower than expected M1 USB-C speeds... Might be firmware/driver related on M1 USB-C ports or could be misunderstanding / misrepresentation of the M1's USB-C capabilities. gen 1 / gen 2 / (1 ) 5gpbs lane vs (2) 5gpbs lanes, TB4, etc...
