I frequently browse Taobao and also see JEYI having a new version enclosure, but as of now only having a lousy place holder 2D image that doesn't even show the depth and side of the thing like yours do. It seems they are in the process of manufacturing the product, almost ready to ship but not yet having the actual thing on hand to take a realistic photo yet, since your image still looks like a 3D rendering.
Got a tip for us?

Here is an update to the JEYI newer enclosure:
Their official JD(TaoBao) shop now seems to have real photos of the product ready, the little embedded TB3 cable looks to be a nice touch, but the overall dimension is larger than the previous model as a result.
The spec sheet also emphasis it using the JHL6340 chipset. Interestingly they keep using the LEIDIAN-X4 model number.
Another thing of note are that there are 2 other models/options, one with built-in fan and dual TB3 ports, the other with 110mm NVMe support, but these still only have generic placeholder images and not much more details.

Can you read chinese?
i couldn't find a trace of the dual-port
Yes I can. Those are buried in the purchase options. (prefix all says "2020 model")
"built-in hidden cable" "standard + JEYI external GPU peripheral"
"with dual Thunderbolt cable | internal fan"
"support 110mm long NVMe (this means M.2 22110)"
You see they are still using generic plain image for the rest.
In a recent buyer review section someone already got the "external GPU card" bundle option, even with a real photo I have no idea what this is, and how this is useful for the TB3 enclosure.
thanks, useful info.
interested in the dual-tb port one for daisy chaining...
also when i use mine (1st gen) on desktop its great, howeveri was using it with my macbook yesterday with the relatively short cable that it shipped with, and while it's great, the enclosure gets hot. if you're not careful you could easily burn yourself with it
i guess that's good, since it disperses heat from the SSD fine.
FYI JD and Taobao are completely different things. Also, don't hold out hope of dual ports. What it actually says is dual cable, and you can see when you select it that that means the regular product and 9cm TB3 cable and an additional 50cm one.

It's dual cable, not dual port.
I actually ordered a JEYI gen 1 (not knowing gen 2 is coming), and just received it days ago. Installed my ADATA SX8200 Pro in it and it's been working fine. The heat issue is real, I made sure enough heat paste are applied on all suspect chips, but since my SSD is a double sided one I can't deal with the under-side.thanks, useful info.

(btw I have been getting sub-optimal speed, like only 1500MB/s out of the potential ~3500MB/s, but for my usage it is fast enough so I don't mind). Not sure what the gen 2 with the new TB controller would help though.

And sorry for the dual-port / dual cable confusion, I mis-read it at first.
Interesting that you mention the difference between JD and TaoBao (I am aware of it just thought it's too confusion to make clear here). Since I am situated in Hong Kong, I can order JD stuff through Taobao account so I kind of consider them connected. The stuff you see on Aliexpress is sometimes from the same seller, in this case JEYI seems to be the manufacturer itself and they sell on all platforms directly. But as you see the newer products appear on the JD shop first.
From the benchmarks they have advertised on the JD listing, I'd guess not so much. If it could get higher than 1600-2000 write, 2500-2600 read you think they'd use those examples.
Are you sure you're not confusing JD and tmall when you say you can buy through Taobao? JD and Taobao are as connected as Walmart and Target... JD is in league with tencent/wechat and Taobao is from Alibaba/alipay. Not that it's a big difference to this thread of course - the manufacturer is the manufacturer whichever of the many platforms they're on/listing things on first.
weird. I'm getting 2000/2500 readwrite with Samsung EVO 970 (non plus), but i guess its one sided.
It's been consistent like this for a year now (i ordered it last december)
it is, but i actually like how silent it is. I'd rather stick a fin on it
Now I see why I wasn't making sense, you are right I literally mixed up TMall and JD (well they got similar color scheme on their website lol).
I did further testing, it may be my specific ADATA SX8200 Pro stick being the problem, as I manage to get a WD SN750 1TB reaching 2200/2400MB/s on both the JEYI and another WAVLINK enclosure I have.weird. I'm getting 2000/2500 readwrite with Samsung EVO 970 (non plus), but i guess its one sided.

I have the wavlink enclosure and suffer from the disconnects on sleep/wake described earlier in this thread. Today I checked the wavlink website for firmware updates and noticed there is one, posted on December 27.
www.wavlink.com
I'm not sure if this fixes any issues though, because I can't get the posted instructions to work. I'm stuck on the spot where you monitor the cm topology. It gives an error at that point and I can't proceed. I'm wondering if the drive needs to be removed from the circuit board before it will work. If anyone can get it to work it would be great to hear if it fixes the disconnects.

Noted:check your model number in the back of the product or packing box( model number UTE02 ). If you download the incorrect firmware,it will damage your product...

I just received the gen 2 Jeyi enclosure. I'm really impressed with the quality. It's machined from a single block of aluminum and has a nice heft to it. As advertised, there are two cables included – a 50 cm (19.6") and a 9 cm (3.54") one placed in a cutout in the enclosure itself. Here are some photos. No tests yet as I still haven't bought an SSD. No excuses now I guess.
Also, does anyone know what's the red elastic band for? There are no instructions attached and I have absolutely no idea what it should be used for.

Like this, I guess:
Is the controller chip on the underside of the PCB, and is it taller where you can apply heat paste so it contacts the bottom chassis directly?I just received the gen 2 Jeyi enclosure.

Overall this does look very solid, the short cable is a pretty "cute" and practical solution as well.

What is maximum speed did you get out of it?
As you can see, there's a bump right underneath the controller (which is the 'top' of the chassis, to be 100% precise
). A thermal pad was already applied in mine, which is quite nice of them, too. Also, I can confirm that it's a JHL6340, so a newer controller as far as I know.I still don't have an SSD, but I'm probably going to get an Adata SX8200 Pro in a couple of days. I have some concerns whether a double-sided SSD is going to fit. If it doesn't, I'll probably get a 2tb Sabrent Rocket, as it's plenty fast for my needs and affordable, too. I'll post some test results when I get around to it, no worries.

Thanks for the Information! Where did you buy it? I would like to use the enclousure to install windows 10 on it. Does anyone have any experience with this?

I got it right here. However, this particular enclosure is an older model. After I bought it the seller contacted me, said they have an updated version on the way and they could send it instead if I waited a week or two.
As for Windows 10 – it's entirely doable. My plan is to clone both my macOS and Windows partitions to the external drive (I have a fusion drive iMac). The assistant doesn't let you create a new bootcamp partition on external storage and as far as I know the easiest way is to create it on the internal drive and then clone it via third-party software.

I’ve had nothing but trouble with their USB stuff. I’ve literally got a stack of various products I need to send back.Orico stuff is usually quite good. Ive tested one of their TB3 docks and it was solid
Oh, I haven't tried any USB stuff to be fair.
Either way, I'd be interested to see how the above user gets on with the NVMe enclosure - hopefully their TB3 products are better then their USB! lol
