It works for external storage when replacing a m.2
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Works nicely and pretty easy to use
|Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Exceeding expectations
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

Makes upgrading SSD very easy

Practical, works fine, needs design improvement
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Must Have For Road Warriors!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is by far the best purchase I made this year. I use this every day when traveling. It is small enough to tuck away in the laptop bag and is a must have for road warriors. The speed is superb.

Great but could be better
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great but you can't fit an NVMe with a heatsink. I had to take off the heatsink of my NVMe to get it to fit

Posted .Hi there! Appreciate the detailed feedback! It’s great to hear the enclosure performs well, and your note about heatsink compatibility is super helpful for others considering it.

Solid SSD enclosure
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Amazing
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great. Did everything I needed it to do. Only issue is I couldn’t get the ssd card flatly secured. But it still worked without having to secure it.

Works great, but gets a little warm
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

An internal SSD being transformed into a USB.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

A fantastic external enclosure
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This enclosure is incredibly fast and easy to set up. If you pair this enclosure with a 4×4 Gen Nvme SSD you will get 3x the speed of most external SSDs.

SSD copy
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
