## Questions & Answers

**Q: The listing repeatedly says this is 3.2, but the housing has 3.1 printed on it.  Is this a 3.1 or 3.2?**
A: Short Answer:  USB 3.1 Gen 2 (listed in the technical specs of the "product description") has the same bandwidth (10 Gbps) as USB 3.2 Gen 2 (listed in the adds title).  The computer industry changed the naming convention.

Long Answer: I was confused by this as well.  If my quick research is correct apparently there is something called USB-IF (Universal Serial Bus Implementers Forum) that is causing a ton of confusion because they keep redoing the naming convention as technology changes (whoever keeps changing the convention should be fired for how much confusion they have caused).  Anyway a USB 3.0, USB 3.1 Gen 1, USB 3.2 Gen1 or SuperSpeed USB port all have a max speed rating of 5 Gbps.  Similarly, a USB 3.1 Gen2, USB 3.2 Gen2 or SuperSpeed USB 10Gbps port all have a max speed rating of 10Gbps.  And just to finish the ratings, a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 or SuperSpeed USB 20Gbps port both have a max speed rating of 20Gbps. So, basically, regardless of whether they call the port 3.0, 3.1 or 3.2, if they call it Gen 1 it is 5Gbps, if they call it Gen 2 it is 10Gbps, and if they call it Gen 2x2 it is 20Gbps.  If you look at the technical specs in the "Product Description" section it states that it is USB 3.1 Gen 2, which has the same 10 Gbps speed rating as the USB 3.2 Gen 2 which is listed in the title.  So, although confusing, the add is technically not contradicting itself.  That is, as long as the USB 3.1 printed on the device is meant to be USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) and NOT USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5 Gbps).  Clear as mud, right!

**Q: Can anyone verify it will work with a Raspberry Pi 4 as a boot drive?**
A: I cannot verify it will work. But given it uses the same JMS583 chipset as Icy Box search B07Q7H5QLX , but will require a powered USB 3 hub. Info at James A Chambers blog new Raspberry Pi 4 bootloader USB network boot guide. Hopefully, this will help out

**Q: Is this 10gbps or 20gbps?**
A: It uses a JMicron JMS583.  From the JMicron documentation:
"The JMS583 is a USB 3.1 Gen 2 to PCIe Gen3 x 2 bridge controller between USB host and PCIe storage device. The USB 3.1 Gen 2 interface offers data transfer speed up to 10Gbps..."

Keep in mind that 8 bits = 1 Byte:
10Gbps = 1.25GBps

From looking at other Amazon listings, the JMicron JMS583 controller seems to be the most common.

**Q: Item is listed as usb 3.2 (20gbps) but manufacturer's website says usb 3.1 (10gbps). am i missing something or item completely misrepresented?**
A: It is a USB 3.1 Gen 2 10 Gbps.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The default cable is your friend
*by G***D on April 4, 2024*

I am not ashamed to say that have bought 5 of these so far. The rugged aspect was secondary to the write protect switch. I will simply not accept any USB media for my computer if it doesn't have one. That is why I keep going back to this.The main reason for this review is give a heads up to everyone buying longer cables for it. and then commenting it is slow. I needed a little reach so I bought some 3, 6, and 10 feet cables. That was a huge mistake for me and taught me a valuable lesson. Not all USB C are made the same. I need to find out if they have longer ones that the short ones they include.. The first image is with the factory cable. The next two are the same case, computer, and drive, using different non-Ineo cables in SS+ ports. I broke one (definitely out of warranty) so I have see where I can get a replacement. I will deal with the short cable for such a massive improvement in the speed.I hope one day they come out with a case of the same quality and features that holds two.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality and works perfectly
*by J***D on February 1, 2025*

Worked perfectly. Good design. Snug fit with the thermal pad but that is a plus for heat transfer. This thing is HEAVY; much more than expected but that is not a negative for me.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent rugged aluminum enclosure!
*by V***. on September 5, 2023*

I've been using this enclosure for years and was so impressed with its performance that I recently bought another one. When connected to a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port, it consistently delivers fast speeds. The build quality is exceptional, being a single piece of aluminum that provides excellent heat dissipation. Despite being tossed around in bags, desks, and drawers and dropped on floors, my previous enclosure has sustained little to no damage. In fact, it's more likely to damage whatever it hits due to its sharp edges and the fact that it's made of metal. The only minor issue I have is that removing an SSD from the enclosure usually requires removing both end covers and pushing the SSD out. However, given its overall quality, I would definitely buy this enclosure again.
