SSK M.2 NVME SATA SSD Enclosure, Improved RTL9210B Chip USB 3.2 Gen 2 10Gbps to PCI-E NGFF Adapter, M-Key/B+M Key External SSD Enclosure Aluminum Support UASP Trim 2242/2260/2280

The SSK M.2 NVMe SATA SSD Enclosure Adapter and similar USB‑C SSD enclosures are a great way to turn an M.2 NVMe or SATA SSD into a fast external drive with USB 3.2 Gen 2 (up to 10 Gbps) performance. Built around the advanced RTL9210B controller chip, these enclosures offer plug‑and‑play convenience without drivers while delivering quick data transfer speeds that make moving large files, backups, or media libraries fast and hassle‑free. The tool‑free design and compact aluminum body keep things simple and durable, and the included thermal pads help manage heat during prolonged use. Whether you’re expanding laptop storage or accessing drives on the go, this is a reliable, budget‑friendly solution that makes your M.2 SSD work wherever a USB‑C port is available.

It came with two sets of screws (good), but only one thermal pad with a very adhesive coating on it. If I pulled it off - especially after it was there absorbing heat for a while, it would not be like pulling off of a sticky. It seems designed for one-time SSD use, but... My advice: If the SSD needs to be used elsewhere, pulling off the adhesive pad would probably leave some hard to remove material from the SSD that you may want to use elsewhere. So: If you only want to use an SSD temporarily - just to test it, see what's on it, or re-format - DO NOT use the one-and-only adhesive pad. Use the adhesive pad ONLY if you want to use it as a more permanent SSD drive. Final comments: It works well, has a nice blinking LED that helps, it gets warm but not hot with the one-time thermal adhesive attached (like life, one-time, that's all folks), it didn't cost much, takes up very little space for such capacity, looks cool, they built it well. I give 5 stars as long as you have read everything above thus far.

Bought the item about one year ago. Easy to assemble, no setup, easy to use. Working great. Very handy. That is good product, if you buy it, you will be happy.

Installed easily and working well

I recently picked up the SSK M.2 NVMe/SATA SSD Enclosure (model B07MNFH1PX) and I’m impressed. The build quality is superb—its slim aluminum alloy shell gives it a premium feel and excellent heat dissipation. The size (just about 11 mm thick) makes it ultra‑portable and easy to throw into a laptop bag, backpack, or even my gear rolling case. As for performance, it lives up to its promise: with the USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) interface it enables very fast transfer speeds (up to 1000 MB/s under ideal conditions). It handled my NVMe drive perfectly—and for a compact external enclosure I couldn’t ask for much more. Highly recommended if you want a durable, speedy, and pocket‑friendly enclosure.

This is the 2nd time I am purchasing this SSK M.2 NVME SATA SSD Enclosure and I have to say I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an M.2 enclosure. Works great and no issues whatsoever on the prior one I purchased over a year ago. I also really appreciate that it comes with cable for BOTH usb to usb-c and usb-c to usb-c (many of the other brands come with only one type of cable and you might have to buy an adapter). Highly recommend.

Received when it was expected and performed as expected. Really happy with the item, did exactly what I bought it for, a low-cost reader that I can use to flash OS images.

My SSD was not usable with this enclosure. Until I solved the problem. I'm using this SSD to create a full system backup image of a clean Windows 11 install with all my preferences and software. I like to tinker and break things so this will be a huge time saver as I reinstall my OS sometimes several times in a day. I could see the drive (in DISKPART and Disk Management) so I went about cleaning it (wiping it), partitioning, and formatting....still formatting...still at 0%...several minutes later nothing...cancel...try again. Wipe the drive, partition again, everything seems good....start to format...nothing....stuck "formatting" again...for ten minutes this time. I try several more times waiting in longer intervals, which tells me something is wrong. While I wait, I start researching. What's happening here? It's an empty SSD so it shouldn't take more than a few seconds to format. Fine, I'll go down the rabbit hole and diagnose this new SSD. An annoying problem to have, but I'm a tech junkie so I'll figure it out. Reading technical walkthroughs. Checking firmwares. Getting into enclosure properties from the Device Manager. Trying to find out why this hard drive is being such a pain. I can see the drive. I can interact with the drive. I can see it in Windows. I can even see my partition type is RAW, which is correct bc I haven't assigned a "file system" for it yet (NTFS, FAT32, etc). I am attempting to format it to NTFS so I have cross-compatibility between Mac/Windows computers. I have a top of the line machine with USB 3.2 Gen 2 interfaces. Top of the line CPU with strong motherboard. Yet something about formatting, this drive won't do it. Okay. I submit. You win, SSD. I'll return the drive and try again with another I guess. But one last thing... I know my way around networking, and a common problem with speeds is cable quality. I just upgraded a few ethernet lines in my house...cut and added new RJ45 connectors to the end so they could be plugged into PC's and routers and data outlets, etc. Only sharing for credibility. So, let's try changing the cable to another USB-C to USB-C cable I have. Thankfully I had one. Went through my SSD check list...wipe it, partition it, format it (using NTFS) and....voila. Instantly formatted to 100%. That crappy little 6" cable they provide was the weak link (USB-C to USB-C). I can't believe that was the problem. Hours of trying to figure this out. Maybe they're dumping poor quality cables and dealing with the customer fallout? Maybe that's why this is $16 and other brands are selling at $20-$30. Though it appears they're based in Shenzhen, which is pretty much the fast-and-cheap tech capital of the world because it's a prototyping hub. So it makes sense they'd be able to offer a more affordable version. Long story short, I wish I checked the cable sooner, but I was fully interacting with the drive other than being able to format it...so no reason to think the cable was the issue. The device comes with a USB-A to USB-C cable as well, but my preference is USB-C as I have a mixed Mac/PC environment. So, I don't steer away from that. Several hours and a few gray hairs later, and I have a working drive and enclosure...unfortunately using my a cable that is not a spare. You shouldn't have to buy the cable either. I'm hoping I just got a bad one. But I did read another buyer had another issue, which tells me cable quality may be suspect if you're going for the cheaper enclosure as I did. I'm going to reach out to them to see if I can get a new cable (or a couple to be safe if they were willing). The enclosure itself otherwise seems great. Simple to install the SSD. Solid metal construction. Drive fit like a glove. Everything works perfectly now that I replaced their USB-C to USB-C cable with my own.
