Customer Ratings & Reviews

The holder for the key is really small and fragile and I couldn't get the key to hold the NVME before it sheared off. Thankfully Best Buy took the return and refunded the cost.

Works ok but cheaply made. Used it to clone a laptop worked fine, but don't know if it will last long if being used daily.

Didn’t work as intended unreadable in my MSI gaming laptop

Purchased for my upgraded PS5 memory and it didn’t fit. Liked the concept but I just wasn’t able to use it.

tried using this with a crucial 1tb drive. i get fatal hard drive error. if there is compatabilty for certain drives that would be nice to know up front. I cannot retun this. Keep all your packaging & cables in case this happens to you

[Employee of bestbuy] Item didnt work in a couple of my usb 3.0 slots but once it did, it was fine.

The drives don’t fit properly inside the one I got. I had a pair of NVMe drives, and the drives seated to the connector well, but were about 2mm too long for the screw to hold it seated properly. I was also worried about breaking the crap plastic screw in the case to force the drive down in it.

Instructions are not the discriptive on what platforms and programs work with the device.

The Insignia M.2 NVMe to USB SSD Enclosure is total trash. I purchased two units, the SSD retaining clip broke in the first, thinking it was my bad (physical handicap) I purchased a replacement and asked the Geek Squad to install my SSD. It did not work. Inspection shows the SSD was installed improperly (over not under the retainer). I took the unit to another store, showed the Geek Squad the instructions and asked that they reinstall the SSD. Still no function. I purchased a (cheaper) unit online, SSD install was easy and the unit worked perfectly. Do not waste your time and money on this unit.

Bought this thinking I could clone mv2 drives..... lol Lesson learned. I now have a very expensive usb drive

I was quite surprised it worked with my 2230 drive.

It claims to fit a 2280 m.2, but it does not. The plastic piece that holds the ssd in place is ever so slightly too big, and doesn't allow you to actually hold the ssd down enough for you to put the housing over it. If you allow the m.2 drive to just stick up without the housing in place, your computer can read data from it, so I guess there's that. Removing the plastic piece prevents the drive from being held down, preventing installation of the metal housing.

Slow slow slow. Must be usb 3.0 or below speeds on a 9880 were sub 400 put it in Acasis enclosure and was getting near 4000

Opening it was a drag and the lock for the m2 ssd almost gets broken, but it works well.

I bought this to act as a backup device for my new install. I installed two different working NVME drives in it and tried it on two different computers where it refused to initialize. (one of them is currently installed inside my computer and I am downloading games to it as I write this.) I also deleted a half a terabyte of programs from my "E" drive so i could rename it as "H" drive and reinstall the programs . The thinking was to have drive letters "E" and "F" open for the device. Nothing worked. I tried Computer management/Disk Manager and Minitool with no results. I bought this on December 22nd and today is Jan 16th, apparently Best Buy does not have a 30 day return since my account shows it is no longer returnable (Since Jan 14th). This item was recommended in store for what I was doing. Don't wait long if you buy something to try it if you buy it from Best Buy. I have had good luck with my 75" LG TV I bought from them a year ago and the two 2tb ssd hard drives I bought recently.

The case and cables are of good overall quality, but rather than using a screw to secure the SSD into the case, it uses a little plastic tab that you have to twist a bit to get out and then put back in. If you have to remove it for some reason, it's difficult to twist it back out without snapping it in half. It's a cheap bit of plastic that isn't very strong. I had to remove the SSD I originally installed in this and replace it, and that clip just tore in two! And because the hole it goes into is larger in diameter than common short screws, you can just use a screw to secure the SSD into the case. Stupid design.

The enclosure has limited usage, did not fit my needs. Was forced to return

I originally purchased this to move some files from an old mSATA drive I had used to boot from, primarily some builds of a game I play. Windows was capable of recognizing that there was, in fact, a device plugged in, but would constantly claim there was a "fatal hardware error". Plugging this back into the old computer would prove otherwise, as I could easily see the drive and access the files with no problem. Testing this with other M.2 drives would yield the same results regardless of which port I used on the computer, which computer I used, and which drive I used. I am greatly disappointed in this product.

Didn't work looks like a nice little device though

While I was discussing a computer problem with a Geek Squad representative, he suggested that I needed this item. Not sure why. He did not explain what its use was and how it worked.
