" ...  I've got a 2x sata m.2 raid enclosure that has sata connections. ... The USB version of the raid enclosure sees both drives so I know the MB and USB slot supports jbod, the sata with this says to USB does not see both.  ...  "

" ...  I use this for setting up ssd's or transferring data between drives and it works great. ... Good transfer speeds.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I tested the transfer rates for a low-end SSD using CrystalDiskMark, and the 1GB sequential transfer rates for both connections were roughly the same - between 463MB/s and 563MB/s Read and 409MB/s and 416MB/s Write. ... Strangely, two of my three USB-C tests reported much lower Write speeds of 169MB/s and 183MB/s, but these are still much faster than the 35MB/s reported by DScott. ... I assume these lower Write speeds had something to do with the SSD not being TRIMed, which would mean the data blocks CrystalDiskMark wrote to had to be cleared first. ... One of my USB-C tests produced a write speed of 409MB/s, and all three produced fast Read speeds (in fact, slightly faster than my USB 3 tests), so I know the adapter can transfer data that fast.  ...  "
