UGREEN Aluminum M.2 NVMe Enclosure with USB 3.2 Gen2, Supports UASP & TRIM, Compatible with M & M+B Key SSDs in 2230/2242/2260/2280 Sizes

I recently purchased the UGREEN M.2 NVMe Enclosure, and I am thoroughly impressed with its performance and design! As someone who frequently works with large files and needs fast data transfer, this enclosure has become an essential part of my setup.First off, the installation process was straightforward. I easily installed my NVMe SSD, and the aluminium casing feels sturdy and well-built. It’s compatible with various sizes, including 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280 SSDs, which adds a lot of versatility. I appreciate that I can use this enclosure for different drives without worrying about compatibility issues.The 10Gbps transfer speed is remarkable! I’ve noticed a significant improvement in how quickly I can access, and transfer files compared to my previous setup. The support for UASP and TRIM enhances performance, making data management smooth and efficient. Whether I'm transferring large video files or backing up important data, this enclosure handles everything effortlessly.Another standout feature is the upgraded heat dissipation. The aluminium design not only looks sleek but also keeps the SSD cool during intense tasks. I’ve used it for extended periods, and I haven’t noticed any overheating issues, which is a relief.The compact size makes it incredibly portable, so I can easily take it with me when I’m on the go. Whether I’m working from a coffee shop or traveling for meetings, it fits neatly into my bag without taking up much space.Overall, I highly recommend this product for anyone in need of a reliable and high-performance M.2 NVMe enclosure. It delivers on speed, efficiency, and portability, making it a valuable addition to my tech arsenal. I’m very satisfied with my purchase and would definitely buy it again!

If I was burdened with too much money, I might go for one of the really expensive Thunderbolt 4 enclosures out there. They would be a faster solution, especially for any NVME drives rated to 3k or faster. As it is, I have a drive in this that is far too fast to leave it in there. At some point, I will put that drive internally (which was the original plan) and put the currently internal device in the enclosure.But anyway, back to the enclosure. I am getting 10Gbps type speeds from it, so I'm happy with that. I like the silicone sheath for some extra protection (oo-er), but the enclosure is so well made (solid chunks of aluminium FTW) that the sheath seems to be more for grip while handling than for any protection if you do actually drop it.It gets warm in use, so the heatsink part is working, but never gets unduly hot.I picked this item, out of the others I looked at, because it seemed the sturdiest, and because it has flat sides, so it will lay flat on a desk (as illustrated in the product photos).If there is a teeny tiny gripe I have with it (not really) it's that it seems quite heavy (compared to the thing it is housing. I'm used to it being the other way around!) But I suspect that what that really means, is that this will be with me for sometime (unless the interface blows up, but time will tell for that). At only 160g, I'd be quite happy slinging this into my bag.

Neexed to clone an m. 2 drive in my pc ut couldnt use the other onboard slot as it was my main drive, this worked a treat, well built, didnt vet too hot and fast transfer.Recommended and easy to use. Good value for money. Fits most m. 2 storage drives

I own two of this enclosures and I am very happy with the performance and ability to transfer heat from M.2 NVME to the aluminium case.There is one thing that bothers me. The USB-C port is a bit loose making it very easy to accidentally unplug it while using it.

Please Check your bottlenecks and don't be like me.To test this enclosure, I took a bit of a risk. I used a Crucial T500 PCIe Gen4 NVMe M.2 SSD, which isn’t officially listed as compatible (yet) but it worked fine.10Gbps, reaching those speeds depends on your hardware bottlenecks.I tested this on two devices:An old PC: My ancient desktop maxed out at 50MB/s read and write speeds. That’s not the enclosure’s fault—it’s just the limit of my PC’s USB ports and overall architecture.A 2021 M1 MacBook: This hit a much more impressive 700MB/s for both reads and writes. That’s a massive jump, but still well below the advertised max.Most people won’t hit 10Gbps because few devices can fully utilize that speed. If you’re rocking something like a high-end gaming PC with USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports or a Thunderbolt 3/4-capable machine, you’ll get closer.What does that mean in plain terms?Installation was smooth, and the enclosure itself feels solid. The aluminium casing gives it a premium feel while doubling as a heat sink—no overheating issues here, even during long transfers.Compatibility isn’t just about the SSD, though. This enclosure supports all the standard sizes (2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280),Build Quality: I love the aluminium casing that manages heat effectively.Portability: It’s lightweightConsistency: Even at “lower” speeds, the transfer rates were stable.Just for your reference, please check your device USB portsUSB 1.0 = 1.5 Mbps (Low-Speed) / 12 Mbps (Full-Speed)USB 2.0 = 480 MbpsUSB 3.0 = (USB 3.1 Gen 1) 5 GbpsUSB 3.1 = Gen 2 10 Gbps
