Those are all eSATA, right? I know you dislike external USB, but do you have one to try? According to Wiki, eSATA has stricter technical requirements. Is the eSata on your computer a ”proper” port or just an internal one routed through an I/O slot? > They a lot newer model.

USB, OTOH, is specced for thousands of cycles. Perhaps the connector is worn out, especially if it is your “favorite” enclosure. > My newer type enclosures require me to disassemble them to > put the drive in.

It’s just a little box with the connect at one end, a USB cable at the other and a power socket for an external power brick. I also recently discovered something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CH8R552V Might come in handy for later when your collection of NVMes grows. -- Grüße | Greetings | Salut | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me on any social network.
