SSD drives are so disappointing. I see these drives with huge numbers and I go buy one thinking that I won't have to wait for files to transfer and then I copy over files and I still get transfer times of minutes even if I only have to transfer a few gigabytes of files. The only storage product that I think can be better is the intel optane, but the price on those is ridiculous so I will probably never find out if it is really better or not.
Throw a lot of small files at them and you slash an order or two of magnitude of performance from even the best of SSDs. Otherwise yes, the chain is only as fast as the slowest link.
You're holding it wrong. I get best part of a gigabyte a second on mine. You need a fast drive to feed it with, and it will still be slow with small files, especially if you've not enabled caching in device manager.
I think there's scope to eliminate the cable altogether and put a male port on the front. But yeah that would block a lot of space around the port, that could be very bad.
Transfer speed is also reduced if the SSD does not have a good method for dissipating heat. Some SSD enclosures have heat pads built into the sides which press on the SSD to transfer heat from the SSD to the outer shell. This can actually be the most important part of an external SSD enclosure. (I obsess about this so much that I bought one of those little hand held fans that I aim at my external SSD enclosures when copying larger amounts of files).

He's feeding it from a SSD!(A 64GB PATA 1.8" SSD from 2008. Not even SATA. They were in the 1st gen MacBook Airs - I replaced a couple.)

I have one sitting on a shelf next to me right now. I'm not sure why I haven't recycled it...Slash3 - Friday, November 12, 2021 - link

You are missing something. Your experience with SSDs is vastly different than everyone.gfody - Wednesday, November 10, 2021 - link
the capacities are disappointing, you can make your own 8TB using an enclosure w/an asm2364 chipAlistair - Wednesday, November 10, 2021 - link
$200 CAD at the moment, we don't get a $135 USD price. Pass for now. Hope it drops elsewhere.nicolaim - Wednesday, November 10, 2021 - link

Ah the internet:On even days:
- stupid sheeple only buy Apple because of looks and fashion
On odd days:
- <hard drive | case | headphones | router> suck because they look ugly.
Never change, internet!
