That's a relic from the Aliexpress era, I can't find anything cost-effective today. Orico's enclosure is on Amazon for around 1200: https://www.amazon.in/ORICO-Enclosure-Tool-Free-Transparent-External/dp/B0CRKMZ3PC

As promised, benchmark numbers
The drive misses the advertised write speed by a tiny margin, small enough to call it a pass. Performs as good as one can expect from a drive this cheap.
Most likely using QLC flash with dynamic SLC cache, tried writing a 64GB file, transfers started out strong, but after ~10GB started going down, to ~60MB/s eventually. Performance throttled even more as the controller and flash overheated, falling down to 10MB/s sustained, with short periodic spikes as the internals cooled temporarily (hypothesis). Not a drive I'd use for large/continuous file transfers, but works absolutely fine as a boot drive, the system/applications performed fine.

Does the crystaldiskinfo report temps correctly for this SSD? I have a colorful 250gb one which shows a static 40c, which is definitely incorrect (and as per flash ID SK Hynix 176L TLC Nand flash XD)
You can cross-check against what HWinfo tool reports - it also shows disk temperatures...

Tried with that too and Smartctl, just reports 40c, a Russian or similar dialect review mentioned the same and I knew it was just a dummy report XD
Yeah seems to depend on SSD model - my Crucial MX500 shows a fixed number - my Samsung 970 Evo Plus shows 3 "Drive temperature" entries only the 3rd one seems to be reporting temps... and my Crucial T700 seems to be showing the live temps in HWinfo... in crystaldiskinfo it's fixed at 40c for me too.
