Just found an Ineo Aluminium Rugged Enclosure for 2.5" drives, along
with some unused SSDs.
Model T2580/C2580c.
I stuck a Crucial MX300 in and started using it.
The enclosure is (allegedly) USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 2 and has a USB C
connector.
Testing so far on this Dell Latitude 7280 shows that it is not
recognised on the USB C port, but is recognised on the USB 3 port with a converter to USB C interface.
Speed is showing at around 100 MB/sec copying from internal SSD to
external SSD, which I think is roughly 1 Gb/sec or well below both USB
3.0 and USB 3.1 max.
I'm now wondering if the interface (despite the USB C connector) is not
USB 3.1.
Also wondering if there is any way to check definitively.
If it is misdescribed there is little chance of doing anything about it because it has been in the drawer for ages (years?).
Ah! 21st November 2019 was the order date.
[Along with a desk for my remodeled office.

suggests that all USB 3 types should support the USB C connector.
Could it be USB 2?
I will test further once the copy operation (which was the point of this exercise) is completed. Perhaps now that it is formatted it will be recognised on the Thunderbolt port.
Anway, another complication I could do without.

Tried connecting it again after the copy had finished and still no joy.
Rebooted with the drive plugged in and it is now recognising it.
I'm not sure what I would have done if I hadn't had a USB C to USB A converter.

Check that the adapter is USB3 - you'll be able to spy the extra five contacts by eye.

The adapter must be USB3, because USB2 tops out at 480Mbps ie 60MBps,
with actual transfer speed somewhat less.
It's possible the adapter doesn't support UASP, which is used to improve transfer speeds over the regular USB Mass Storage protocol.
