    Worked beautifully. Super simple and fast. Cloned my hard drive onto a larger one in very little time.

    I complained to Best Buy but they wanted me to come back to the store which was kinda a hassle. I didn't particularly NEED the adapter, but it might be handy someday. I haven't done any official speed tests, but for my first NVME external on a gen3, it seems pretty good.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Investing in cheaper internal SSDs can be a savvy way to enhance storage without breaking the bank. While external SSDs offer portability, leveraging cost-effective internal options allows for efficient space management and performance gains, making it a practical approach for tech enthusiasts looking to maximize value.

    So my friend gave me his old internal SSD, but forgot to wipe it so this product did exactly that I was able to plug it in. It pulled up on my computer and I was able to clear it off and even transfer my old SSD memory to the new one it came with everything you need very easy instructions.

    Hot little device.

    The Insignia enclosure is a basic SSD enclosure without the bells and whistles. It does perform its intended function, yet I found that when in continuous use, it does become very hot to the touch. I get that the drive will run hot, but without any constant airflow I was concerned that it may damage the drive itself; not knowledgeable enough to say if that is likely or not. Overall, for the price and what I needed it for (transferring from one computer to another), it is a good product.

    This thing is a life saver. I bought a new internal and external SSD from crucial. The crucial X9 portable came with acronis cloning software and both were junk. The software left important files behind and then it took me forever to get my files out of the X9. The X9 lasted about 3 days and bricked. I get this for dirt cheap put my old SSD in it and I'm back in business. Not only this thing a life saver, it's FAST. If only I would have known, I would have got this first. The brand has been around forever and it deserves the A rating quite easily. Thank You Insignia!

    Great way to salvage files from old laptop

    My wife's computer had died due to a faulty power port. I had been begging her for months to let me backup her system before the problem became critical. Well... she didn't. Nonetheless, I needed to configure her new laptop with all of her old files. This enclosure was exactly what I needed! I removed the C: drive from the old laptop and used the enclosure to copy files to the new one. The USB-C connection was very fast. Now I'm using the old system disk as a portable 1TB external disk. A win-win in my book. ;-)

    External Drive Case

    The enclosure worked great. Allowed me to increase the memory in my laptop as I used it to clone my existing ssd to a new larger one. In other reviews people stated that their ssd's would not fit and the plastic peg (locking device) that hold the ssd in place did not work. All you need to do is turn the locking device to the left about 15 degrees and it comes right out. When installing the ssd, there is a slot on the around the plastic peg. Push the ssd into place and then line the plastic peg slot with the indented edge of the ssd, then carefully lower the peg/ssd until the peg is in the mounting hole and turn the peg to the right about 15 degrees. The ssd will fit perfect and the pin locks it into place. Also, it comes with a pad to cool your ssd if you use it for an external drive.

    Purchased this open box and it is in excellent new condition. Our laptop stopped working and with this we were able to connect it to another computer and get all of our pictures and data off so that we didn’t loose out cherished pictures and information. Great value and worked amazingly for our purpose.

    This thing is great. I used to use and external adapter to older types of drives to be able to move data for backups, cloning, copies, etc. This gives me that same capability in this brave new world of SSDs. Younger people can't imagine the slow speeds we used to live with.

    I used this adapter for cloning my old SSD to a new one. This is an easy product to use and has a quality feel to it. However I recommend not placing the thermal pad inside the case until you are done switching your SSDs around, as it may cause the case to get stuck shut and tear up the thermal pad trying to get it unstuck.
