SSKM.2 NVME SATA SSD Enclosure Adapter, USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) to NVME PCI-E SATA M-Key/(B+M) Key Solid State Drive External Enclosure Aluminum Support UASP Trim for SSDs 2242/2260/2280

Decent, straightforward instructions--solid construction--decent cord quality. This does what is advertised. It runs pretty warm as expected and includes heat-dissipating tape that should last a while.

I was looking to buy a "speedier" external USB drive for a "grab-and-go" backup in case I needed to BUG OUT. I also bought the ACER FA100 2TB M.2 SSD 2280 NVMe Gen3 x4 Internal Solid State Drive which has a good price/performance attribute. The installation took less than 5 minutes and then I plugged this bad boy directly into one of my ASUS MoBo USB SS-10 ports. After configuring this new drive in Disk Management as a new-simple volume, I ran the Crystal Disk Mark 8 program. This program has a default setting for 5 passes which is not really necessary and set it for a one pass test count. As this is a "portable" drive, I verified the Device Manager "Policy" setting for the drive was set for "Quick Removal" - for safety, and even with not enabling the faster "Write Caching" policy, this puppy flies. I am so happy with the performance of this drive and the SSK case, I'm ordering another drive and case. For just 120 bucks, you cannot beat the price and performance for a 2 TB External SSD drive....

I get right about 1gigabyte per second (byte not bit) read and write on my macbook pro and a samsung 980 pro. That is about the peak number you'd expect after overhead on a 10gbps link. You never get an effective rate matching the theoretical number.Device is simple to assemble with a good manual and includes a magnetic screw driver (cheap plastic but does the job great) that lets you easily deal with the tiny screws involved.It has a piece of one-use thermal pad that I chose not to use as I'm going to use this as a way of prepping m.2 drives for use in other computers not as a permanent usb storage device.I tested both with BlackMagic Disk Speed Test as well as just copying large files to it and confirming that the time was commensurate with the test numbers. GIgabyte files copy in about a second.edit: Connected directly to my iphone16 and it's awful, it takes about 20 seconds to perform any read operation - it just sits there 20 seconds before the access light starts blinking. It's basically unusable. However, I hooked it up to a usb c hub via usb A cable it comes with and plugged in external power (wouldn't even turn on without external power) to the hub and the device works as expected. Iphone 16 can't provide enough power directly, I guess?A usb-c thumb drive connected directly to the phone operates perfectly but likely uses much less power.edit: connecting it to the phone via a powered usb-c hub via the included usb-c to usb-a cable works great.

Great case for PCI M.2 SSD drives. It can be a little hard to slide the cover on, but if you look and find the sticking point, its easy to press it down, out of the way and the cover will then slide on pretty easily. The case is solid, fits tight, has a heat sink pad with it to fill the gap between the drive and the case to allow thermal transfer efficiently. I like it lots!
