THE EC-TFNE & EC-SNVE

The 108mm in length, 39mm in width and almost 12mm in thickness EC-TFNE is available in silver and black colors (although you may find more online, these however two are listed in Sabrent's website) whereas the 118mm in length, 32mm in width and 9mm in thickness EC-SNVE is available in black.

Typically to have a better idea about size i placed the EC-SNVE and EC-TFNE enclosures right next to the CarbonX by Mushkin (review soon), Rocket Pro again by Sabrent, SE760 by ADATA, TB2-T3 by YottaMaster Z7S by NETAC and the PC60 by Silicon Power.

Now even though the EC-TFNE enclosure is entirely made out of aluminum the base of the EC-SNVE is made out of ABS plastic.

To open up the EC-TFNE you need to raise and rotate this ring.

On the other hand, to open the EC-SNVE you just need to push this button.

Both enclosures are compatible with M.2 2230/2242/2260/2280 solid state drives.

As you can all see in the above picture the EC-TNFE model uses the JMS583 USB 3.1/3.2 Gen 2 to PCIe Gen 3x2 bridge controller by JMicron.

Unlike the EC-TFNE and its JMicron USB 3.1/3.2 Gen 2 to PCIe Gen 3x2 bridge controller the EC-SNVE uses the RTL9210B PCIe/SATA bridge model by Realtek.

For both models I’ll be using the Kioxia Exceria Plus 2TB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD which should have no trouble topping their performance (i was going to use an Sabrent drive but i just wouldn't want anyone to think these enclosures are optimised for their own drives).
