    It works for external storage when replacing a m.2

    Need to use a external enclosure for extra storage for a employee when we upgraded his laptop from factory. He said it worked like a champ and was easy to use. Depending on what you have a m.2 installed, it could get hot to the touch.

    I ordered an external NMVE drive for a mini PC and wanted to put it in an enclosure so I could use it between both the mini PC and ROG Ally for game storage and this worked nicely. I haven't used an external enclosure like this before, but it feels very sturdy and I like the USB-C to USB-A adapter it comes with to move data from an older PC to the newer drive and then benefit from USB-C speeds on a newer PC. The included instructions are okay - but could use some improvements because the illustrations are kind of low-res and hard to see.

    Got it to recover data from a bricked laptop, did what it was supposed. Now I’m left with a ssd housed in the product which can also be used as a external hard drive now!

      Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad to hear that the product helped you recover data successfully and that you’re now able to repurpose it as an external hard drive. It’s great to know it delivered both functionality and added value beyond your initial need.

    I bought this in a pinch, because it was all Best Buy had. Enclosures like this will enclose heat, which is bad. A heat-sink for an M.2 would attach to the M.2 card directly. This unit has an air gap. If you are going to be doing a 2TB backup or clone, I suggest taking it out of that enclosure so air can get around it, and/or buy a tiny little heat-sink to stick on it.

    I may have received a returned item, as it was missing the USB-C to USB-C cable. Worked well for cloning my SSD, but was very slow likely due to the lack of cable mentioned above, since it probably comes with a better cable than the one I had to use. Solidly built, but the locking mechanism is a little chintzy and hard to figure out- make sure the hole where the SSD is normally screwed into the mobo is securely fitted into the groove on the locking mechanism.

    Very good NVMe to USB-C enclosure. Does a good job and very portable. Doesn't run too hot. I'd recommend if you are need of a portable solution.

    Gets pretty warm as you'd expect with NVME SSDs in general, but I wouldn't expect active cooling at this price point. I wouldn't use this if you'll be doing heavy read/write workloads for long periods of times, but for quickly moving files around it's perfect.

    This gives you the ability to have faster and more affordable external storage. I compared to other external SSD all in ones and this one combined with an internal SSD drive is more affordable and can be switched out, allowing more options and backups.

    Could not test due to heatsink on NVMe M.2 SSD

    Honestly, I did not own this for very long and ended up returning it shortly after purchasing it. The Samsung 990 PRO with Heatsink 2TB PCIe®4.0 NVMe™ M.2 SSD did not fit inside the enclosure due to the heatsink, but it would likely perform well if a heatsink wasn't attached.

    Worked great for a transfer device moving from a smaller ssd to a larger one. Not sure the longevity of using it as an actual hub that is constantly plugged in.
