Hello all, I hope I am asking in the correct forum. I have a couple of M.2 SATA B+M key drives and looking to get a usb enclosure for them. I have been doing some research on this already, and there seems to be 3 main companies that supply chips for these enclosures: Jmicron, Asmedia, and Realtek. From my searching, it seems like the general consensus is that, while they are the most common, to avoid enclosures with the Jmicron chips because they get very hot. Asmedia seems to be pretty rare, and Realtek seems to be the "best" in terms of not getting hot at all (but I have found it is very rare to find an enclosure with the RTL9210 chip for SATA - seems mostly made for NVMe drives/enclosures)... However, a lot of my research tends to only talk/suggest/recommend when it comes to NVMe SSDs, and I've read a comment or two where the JMS580 is the one I should be looking for for SATA drives, which seems to contradict everything else I've been reading (avoiding Jmicron b/c they get very hot etc).
So essentially I am thoroughly confused, and wonder maybe some of you might have some suggestions
