hi. be careful here. this is from earlier in this thread ASPMDIS : 0x01 110mA to 130mA ASPMDIS : 0x00 10mA so looks like 0x00 might be the power saving option there are actually 2 variables. my sabrent has 0x00 and also has this: ;10 minutes of idle time will disable disk power...

You need to make sure the thermal pad really makes contact with both the outer case and the SSD controller chip otherwise its just a mini oven! The problem is yours is a slide-in design so that's tricky to check. Maybe you could exchange for a better conducting pad. I really like the Arctic...

My Sabrent RTL9210 has been rock solid. Realtek have released many firmware updates since a year ago. Also, the mistakes people seem to be making are: 1) Buying enclosures with cheap poor quality bundled cables 2) Using enclosures with USB C-->USB A conversion cable 3) Using Gen 4 hot nvme ssds...

Most enclosure manufacturers will bundle the cheapest cable to try and save money, so best to get a separate one. Also usb-c to usb-c seems more reliable than usb-c to usb-a, if you are able to use that.

But should each firmware need a matching golden binary? I know that 1.30.21 came with GDFW 1.29.21, so should 1.31.17 have a more recent GDFW?

the link you posted has UTGDFW_B_v1.25.14.041521.bin but UTGDFW_B_v1.29.21.030422.bin is the newest

I also have an Eluteng enclosure with RTL9210B. I want to firmware update it but I don't have a .cfg file. Is there a way of extracting the .cfg from the device, and what should I do if not? @fantom3l , there is an 'OEM Configs' and a 'configure' folder in the zip you kindly provided. Do you...

@mihaiii , I am in the same position as you - just diving into the enclosure market. In the end I got: Acasis TBU401 (Intel® JHL7440 Thunderbolt™3 with REALTEK® RTL9210B) - a great enclosure for any thunderbolt port. Fully aluminium, nice weight, and the machining on this is amazing quality...

So I just checked with my recently bought 9210B enclosure and it's already running 1.23.15. Perhaps that's common for adapters bought now.
