This is almost as much as the Pi adapter itself is rated for (3.0A). The Sabrent powered USB hub delivers a whopping 2.5A of dedicated power for your USB attached devices. Here’s the current recommendations based on everyone’s comments combined with stuff I’ve personally used with the Pi: Some super high end performance drives will consume more power as well. This is due to changes and improvements in technology over the years and even using different more efficient memory like 3D NAND. The earliest SSD models like first and second generation models are also well understood to use significantly more power than newer models. 3.5″ form factor drives also use more power than 2.5″ drives. As a very rough guideline, older models of drives tend to use more power than newer models of drives. The specific requirements of how much power you’ll need depend on the adapter/enclosure and the model of your drive itself. A powered USB hub or a power adapter that puts out 3.5A comes not only just strongly recommended, it may actually be required that you choose one option or the other for your drive to function. We are learning from the comments that you are especially likely to run into power issues with NVMe enclosures. Power can be a serious problem with these drives.

Does not support NVMe, this is for SATA M.2 drives only! With the case and M.2 SATA expansion board you can completely enclosure your Pi 4 and have a built in M.2 slot! The M.2 SATA board is sometimes sold separately from the case itself and can be used as well. The Argon ONE M.2 is a M.2 SATA Pi 4 case / storage solution.
