Pros:1) Overall works well and great solution compared to buying a larger capacity USB or a m.2 nas.2) Nice feeling rugged case. Have travelled with m.2 and it keeps them secure. Even came with a cooling pad but didn't install as swapping nvmes.3) easy to use plugin in play solution compared to buying m.2 nas storage4) affordable for the price, compact and can travel with easy.Cons:1) cooling solution not great would be useful if it had a fan/heatsink inbuilt but for the price you can't complain.2) the m.2 securing notch is a bit janky.Overall value for money.

"Outstanding SSD Enclosure! The quality is excellent, with a solid, durable build that feels premium. It's easy to install, and the enclosure fits perfectly, keeping the SSD secure. The transfer speeds are impressive, and it stays cool even during extended use. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to protect their SSD while getting top performance!"

An NVMe SSD works faster than a SATA SSD. You buy this enclosure and an NVMe SSD card, fit it inside and then plug it into your computer. It functions like a USB stick, except much faster and is ideal for storing video files, which is what I bought it for. Some SSD enclosures are made of plastic. This one is made of better aluminium. Whereas copying a video file from the computer to a UBS stick would take ages, this process only takes a few seconds using an NVMe SSD card inside this enclosure. You can use an enclosure like this to create a boot drive with Rufus for trying LInux distros. Be aware that you cannot install Windows on a USB drive directly. You can however remove an NVMe from your computer with pre-installed Windows on it and install it in an enclosure and boot from it for testing purposes. Be aware that this particular enclosure only accepts NVMe SSDs and does not take SATA SSDs which are an outdated, but still available specification. You can get enclosures that will accept both SATA and NVMe SSDs. SATA SSDs differ from NVMe SSDs in that SATA SSDs have two slots at the connector end whereas NVMe SSDs only have the single slot. This enclosure accepts the latter type of NVMes. Be sure to order the correct type of SSD for your enclosure.

Does exactly what it says on the tin.I use it for large video files & suits my purpose fine.Reached real world speeds of 900 MB/sec read & 650 MB/sec write (about what I expected).Using a Crucial P3 M.2 NVMe (but it's performance can suffer from sustained continuous use).No point in any faster M.2 NVMe , or more expensive, as the caddy is the limiting factor.Just a reminder, you need to connect to at least a 10Gbps port on your PC/laptop.Got warm, but never hot with my use.

I bought this for a Samsung 960 EVO 256GB that was lying around unused and am very glad I did. Installation of the SSD is very simple and, indeed, tool-less. The SSD is securely mounted inside when done. The drive is smart looking and I like the rubbery outside bit. First test of a 4GB video file saw speeds of nearly 900GB/s, but using the right port and an appropriately rated cable is of course absolutely necessary, so that 4GB file only took about 4 seconds to transfer which for an old boy like me is just insanely good.Very pleased with this purchase.

Works perfectly and is fast on a 10gbps USB port

Waste of time avoid at all costs, i lost tons of stuff because it just suddenly decided to not load, tried on my other m.2 usb works perfectly this is a waste of timetried on multiple devices, lost 1000s of photos because of this, at best it loads up 1 in 10 times rest of the time its just shows up nothing, 4 different devices including phones and tablets, it worked for around a week then just stopped working, i tried a different cable nothing works. I will contact the company and update this after.I have 2 other same style external hard drive cases they work great, its got to a point i now dare not even try to use this one as i just don't know if the date i use will be lost, also the hard drives i use are good quality not cheap or anything i got 2 500gb Seagate and 1 1tn Kingston all was brand new a few months ago, all the hard drives work first time and always on the other external case drives it got.thanks
