Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you have an m.2 with a heatsink installed, (Like that out of a Surface Pro) It might not fit. The plastic nub/screw secures memory cards well in place. Honestly just a poor design overall. Otherwise, it'll do what you need.

Worked great for what I needed it for. Easy to use. Only issue, and reason for the 4 star, was the little screw to keep the drive in place. It was a bit difficult to get it to lock in place. Otherwise it was great!

Works great. Running Linux from it without any issues.

Bought this for a one time use cloning a drive. Doesn't support newer model nvme SSDs (i.e. WD black sn850x) The information listed here and on the product packaging doesn't clearly indicate what interface modes it supports, just that it fits certain physical sizes and is "backwards compatible" with USB 3.2 Gen 2. If you are planning to use anything PCIe Gen4, skip this and find something reviewed to work with those drives, rather than rolling the dice on both the drive and the enclosure finding a compatible mode to work in. Several different computers were able to detect the enclosure itself, so it may work with older drives, but I don't have one to test it with. As others have mentioned, the plug to secure the drive in the enclosure is a bit tricky to figure out, especially if there are no instructions in the box, as was my case. Don't force anything, remove the plug from the enclosure, align the semi-circular cutout in the drive PCB with the notch in the plug, carefully insert the drive into the enclosure (you need to be at a slight angle, like 10 degrees), then gently push the drive down until the plug seats in the hole it came from. Finally, turn the bar on the plug to tighten the drive in and close the enclosure.

This device is easy to use and is useful when extra disk space is needed. It's good for backups transferring data to other computers or devices like TVs , or using it as a remote access disk attached to a home wifi router.

I tried other known brands and this has been the best performance above the rest in my opinion.

It works as described as does the plastic retainer some reviewers are complaining about. If the SSD is inserted in the retainer slot, it turns easily.

This product played a vital part in me in recovering my hard drive.

I needed a way to clone an old, slow 5400 RPM hard disk so I could upgrade to a new motherboard and use an M.2 NVMe card as my main system disk. Did the job well, quickly, and error-free, and with no hassles.

Easy to use, excellent transfer speed. Good design.

This comes in handy if u need to restore a m.2 for brand new!!

Poor venting, and cooling. So it gets pretty warm. And dispite the large aluminum body, theres no way to use it as a passive heat sink. Mounting the drive in the case is quite fiddly. But it does do it job.

Did not work at all. Tried it on Windows, Linux, and Android. I would give it one star but I believe it's likely that I just got a dud unfortunately.

The standard m.2 drives I had at home didnt fit, but making little slices on the securing leg they fit. The adapter works as expected, usb 3 speeds, it gets hot, so use the thermal tape provided. Good buy

It worked for what I needed it for. Got hot to the touch during use, and getting the plastic screw to work wasn’t ideal, but the drive came out clean and worked like a charm, so I can’t say it didn’t work.

It works as advertised but please note that if your m.2 has a heat sync, it’s not going to fit in the case. You can still plug it into the usb end and use it, but you won’t be able to slide the case around it.

Cloned my 1TB SSD onto a 2TB SSD. This enclosure was perfect for the job.

Would be nice if it had a better retaining clip. The clip is plastic and broke trying to insert it into the mounting hole. Needs to be designed with a metal retaining screw. The rest of the design is nice.

Works great, but did not see the it is no M key compatible to later.

Have not tried yet but great recommendation from Geek Squad to recover data from old Laptop. Fantastic price
