I'm currently looking at two external HDD/SSD enclosures and can't decide which one to go with.

  1. The ADSA-ST SUPERSPEED USB DUAL HDD DOCK
  2. The Asus TUF Gaming A1

The first one supports two SSDs/HDDs, but it's somewhat difficult to find reasonable priced (when compared to a same capacity M.2 drive) 2.5 inch SATA SSDs. Still, it's not impossible and it could give me a lot more room to expand in the future. However, I also wonder about the performance of the drives, as there will be no cooling

The second one however only supports one NVME SSD. Which couples with the USB 3.2 Gen 2X1 interface would give me better speed and thermals, due to the metal construction.
