I would recommend this to a friend Does the job, but could use improvement
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Data transfer rates are relatively quick, although when I was moving a large volume of data to a fresh SSD (~300 GB), the lack of real heatsink became apparent and the whole unit became very hot. I wasn't especially worried about corruption/loss of data, but it may be a concern for others in the future.
I would recommend this to a friendPerfect solution!!

Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Took old 500GB main drive out of my system, placed the larger one in, and then took the old drive and placed ity into this housing and used it to clone the new main drive.

Posted .That’s a smart move, JimN! The Insignia™ - M.2 NVMe to USB-C SSD Enclosure is a great tool for repurposing your old SSD. It offers fast transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps, making it ideal for cloning drives and transferring data. The plug-and-play design and included USB-C cable and adapter make it easy to use with most computers.

M2 SSD USB adapter
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worked great updating to 1tb Samsung drive for my ACER Nitro 5 laptop!
I would recommend this to a friend Great for data transfers
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.PROS: No screw required: The device comes with a plastic lock instead of needing a screw. The outside casing is easy to remove but provides great protection. CONS: The device can get very hot and requires the use of included thermal tape if you're going yo permanently install the drive in the housing.
I would recommend this to a friendDecent option for m.2 to usb adapter
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall works great, it comes with a a nice c to c cord with the c to a adapter for more leagacy pcs. My only complaint is the tools free connector. Wish they had used a little better plastic, but that will only matter if you swap the drive out every so often like i do.
I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Compatibility
Great idea, but didn't work for my situation.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great id a, but didn't work for the drive I needed it to work on. Another newer drive it worked fine on. Was able to read and write to. Older drive, it wouldn't. And it was on the compatibility list.
I would recommend this to a friend Works great!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worked great to clone a laptop hard drive. Appreciate that it's tool-free to take NVMe drives in and out.

Be careful
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The pictures on the back of the box are misleading, I have the top left corner drive (nvme sata) and it shows the green check mark. It is NOT compatible. The pins don't line up and the drive heats up very fast. Wish they would clarify this. Now I need to find an nvme sata reader instead of this nvme m.2

It would work in a perfect world but unfortunately
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is a ssd enclosure and it works but the problem with it is there is no software that comes with it so you have to buy something and the other issues are when I enter a wd 850x into the enclosure to clone it I can’t use the wd software that’s free with the wd ssd because the enclosure tells the cpu that the wd ssd is a Best Buy device instead of a wd ssd don’t waste your money get your a external ssd with free software included I spent 6 hours trying to clone using the enclosure and it failed so I bought a scandisk external ssd and it has free software and it cloned my system in 15min
No, I would not recommend this to a friendWorks well, fast transfer
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this in hopes of recovering data from a drive on a PC that was not working any more. It works perfectly. I transferred about 100gb of data in less than a minute. My only issue is there is a removable lock to lock the drive down into place. Once I removed it I could not get it back in. The drive seems to stay in place without it so far though.
I would recommend this to a friendMisleading
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the NS-PCNVMEHDE-C around black friday. Though the box says that is is USB 3.2 Gen 2 compatible, the only thing USB 3 is the connector. On Windows and Linux it connects as USB 2.1. I tried multiple USBC-USB3A adapters on my windows PC, and direct USBC connection on my linux PC. The only good thing about this is because the access speed is slow, you do not have to worry about overheating your nvme drive, otherwise steer clear of this product if you expect 3.0+ speeds
