Insignia™ - M.2 NVMe to USB-C SSD Enclosure - Black

The motherboard on my old laptop went out, and I was worried I had lost all my data. After some hassle trying to get one of these from Amazon, I ran down to Best Buy to get one. I got it back home and got my SSD in it easily enough. Unfortunately, the little locking pin was more trouble than it was worth. I had the hardest time getting it into place, and it ended up breaking off once I did. Thankfully what remained was enough to hold the SSD in place for me to use. Aside from that little gripe, the enclosure works beautifully! I managed to recover a good 400 GB of programs and personal data I thought was lost forever. Transfer speed is incredibly fast, and the simplicity of plug and play is a nice touch as well. If you don't mind the caveat of a rather fragile locking pin or have another way to secure your drive if it breaks, this is an excellent way to use a spare SSD without having to install it in your PC or laptop. It would be nice if there was a sturdier way to secure it, though; maybe a metal screw or something.

Fastest most compact 4 tb hard drive I owned at half the cost. I own one from Amazon as well best buys implementation is far better. It’s easier to add remove the drive, smaller and comes with the proper cord for the iops of something like 7000 /4500 gbps. Suggest they release a dual card model. It is usb-c gen 3.2 = 20gbps aka the one before they finally forced them to use usb 4. This isn’t 40 gbs but you will never need 40 gbs fastest name drives, which honestly you couldn’t tell apart read at 10 gbps so this will suffice for at least not for 5-10 years I would guess? Even then hard drives at this speed already are instant and not the bottleneck they used to be. Btw why is insignia the only brand that honestly states their spec.

I would recommend you use this for your M2 is that no longer fit in your machines? Owe them twos or if you have a computer and M2 and they’re not compatible. Please make sure that you check what kind of M2 you have because this will run specific types but there’s narrow fields for M2 so please double check I’ve had zero problems with mine. I love it. It’s like having the fastest external hard drive ever

This really should be 4.5 stars but I can't give half stars. This is an outstanding external M.2 external drive enclosure, especially for the price. My only quibble with it is that the locking mechanism for the M.2 drive is very easy bend since it is just a plastic. To be fair, if you use the included thermal pad, it would not be necessary to use this if it broke, but it 'could' be an issue since there is not a backup and I have no idea where you could even get anything like it.

When you kick out that 2TB for the 4TB you don't just toss it drawer NOOOOOOO! you hit up Best Buy and grab you one of these because that 2TB still has work to do now it becomes a External drive for your favorite ps4 games to save every bit of internal space for ps5 games ONLY drive works perfectly ZERO NOISE
