Agree. But the 970 Evo+ (1TB and 2TB) has slow write speed problem with most TB3 enclosure.A bit of a waste putting an EVO+ in that caddy, it should at least be in a thunderbolt 3 caddy for the full benefit.

See the screenshot i postedThat seems to be pretty definitive.
Does the second configuration (SSD in OWC Elite Pro mini (10Gbps)) actually connect to the M1 Mac at 10Gpbs according to the USB hub connections in the System Report, or only 5Gbps? My 10Gbps USB enclosure connects at the full-speed on my MBP16 but at only 5Gbps on my M1 Mini. Speed differences are similar to yours when connected by USB:
Thanks for the reply. My question was directed at @starmax who posted his disk speed test results, but didn't state the actual connection speeds of his USB enclosures.See the screenshot i posted
The M1 does do 10gbps with a USB-C drive as well - and not only TB

Yeah - there is something off for sure.Thanks for the reply. My question was directed at @starmax who posted his disk speed test results, but didn't state the actual connection speeds of his USB enclosures.
The issue appears to be inconsistent connection speeds with some USB 3.1Gen2 interfaces. Looks like the Samsung T7 can connect at 10Gbps, but others 10Gbps controllers can't with the M1 machines (but can with Intel Macs and some PCs).
This at least promises the possibility of a software fix if it has been demonstrated that the Apple M1 USB hardware is capable of 10Gbps connections.
I's probably not USB4 though. It probably uses a Thunderbolt 3 chip for Thunderbolt and a JMS583 chip for USB 3.1 gen 2 compatibility. It has no USB4 compatibility for a USB4 host that supports PCIe tunnelling but doesn't support Thunderbolt timing (I don't think any hosts like that exist yet outside of the USB4 spec). In that case it will fall back to USB 3.1 gen 2 speed.ACASIS USB4.0 Nvme Enclosure

Maybe you can show a picture of the chips it uses, and/or show the ioreg containing the PCI vendor and device IDs.
I went ahead and ordered one from Amazon, it will arrive Sunday Jan 24. I will take it apart as best I can and post pictures if anyone is interested.It is a thunderbolt 3 enclosure. First time I see an empty enclosure with JHL7440. So this will work on both USB and Thunderbolt 3 connections. Good one.
Excellent. I hope it works well for you. I am very interested to see what kind of speeds the 1TB ADATA XPG SX8200 can squeeze out of it. Hopefully you can reach or break the 3000MB/s barrier.?I went ahead and ordered one from Amazon, it will arrive Sunday Jan 24.

The drive I'll use is a 1TB ADATA XPG SX8200.
Seems solved by 11.2 RCI also have speed problems.
My drive (Orico NVMe enclosure PCM2-C3 + Intel 660P Series) performs about 250 MB/s faster when connected to the Thunderbolt/USB port of my LG UltraFine 4K compared to when it's plugged directly on my M1 Mac...
Apple has fixed the USB C transfer speed in upcoming release of Big Sur 11.2? That is great news!Seems solved by 11.2 RC
I installed 11.2 and it does not fix the speed issue for me. My 2TB Sandisk Extreme gets around the same 780MB/sec and my T5 512GB around 340MB/sec.Apple has fixed the USB C transfer speed in upcoming release of Big Sur 11.2? That is great news!
Nice enclosure, but the price seems a bit steep. It's time for these TB3 enclosures to come down to earth in pricing.I went ahead and ordered one from Amazon, it will arrive Sunday Jan 24. I will take it apart as best I can and post pictures if anyone is interested.

So I got the ACASIS USB4.0 Mobile M.2 Nvme Enclosure today and I installed my 1TB ADATA XPG SX8200.It will be ~ 2700MBps max.
FWIW, I had lots of issues with the ADATA SX8200 PRO with my Orico enclosure (JHL6340). Write tests would make the drive eject.So I got the ACASIS USB4.0 Mobile M.2 Nvme Enclosure today and I installed my 1TB ADATA XPG SX8200.
Speeds are much less than I was expecting. Write speeds often dip below 1000MB/s.
I tried with both a Belkin TB3, and the included ACASIS TB3 cable, no difference.

hehe would be cool if the problem is that simple. Type-C connector is omni-directional.-Make sure the lighting logo on the cable is facing up on the Mac end.
It was just a long shot idea ?..I have a few usb-c devices, like a sandisk extreme ssd, that don’t work full speed if the cable logo or the triangle mark on the cable isn’t facing up. Especially when using the usb-a adapter. That strange issue tripped me up for a while.hehe would be cool if the problem is that simple. Type-C connector is omni-directional.
