NVME Enclosure

This case for NVMe M2 solid state drives is very well constructed, made of aluminum on the exterior and plastic on the inside where the disk is mounted. Very easy to use, you don't need any kind of tool to assemble it and install the drive inside it, assembling it was a no brainer.It's USB-C port is Gen 3.2, works at 10 Gbps, making it a great alternative for cloning a drive, as I did. The transfer time for 290GB from the internal 3rd Gen NVMe M2 drive in my Lenovo Legion 5-15ARH05 to a new Western Digital NVMe M2 N 7100 SSD, was only about only 8 minutes! That's a great time and results may vary according to the source drive and the target top speeds, size of the data to clone, file sizes, etc. The enclosure got very hot while performing the cloning task, but that's a good thing, because the aluminum body acts as a heat sink for the SSD inside. The kit includes two thermal pads to help the drive get rid of the excess heat and transfer it to the aluminum enclosure. It's recommended to stick one to the control chips of the SSD and another to other chips. It worked perfectly for me.The kit includes also 2 cables: one is a USB-A to USB-C and the other is a USB-C to USB-C cable so you can choose the one that works for you, according to the type of port available on your computer.Once I cloned the old drive I installed the new one in my laptop and the old drive inside the enclosure. I formatted the old one and it's now an external unit I'm using to save stuff I don't want in any of the drives in my laptop. Awesome and really fast to transfer tons of data between computers with ease and reliability.I conclusion: I'm very happy with my purchase and would buy again if I need for another drive.THE CONS: only one thing they could improve: the lock mechanism for the plastic part, the one that goes inside the aluminum structure has to be checked twice to make sure it's really closed and it's not getting open while working or during transport, leaving the SSD inside exposed and risking damage. Anyway, just make sure you hear a nice click when closing it and make sure it's not getting open and you'll be fine.All in all, a great product for the price, but make sure you have the right type of SSD drive for this enclosure.

I used a 1TB NVMe 3 capable of doing high bandwidth copies. so the limit was the enclosure. With USB 3.1 connection I was getting about 32MB/Sec. But with a USB-C on a brand new PC I was getting consistent 350MB/Sec. The case is aluminum so the heat did dissipate. Easy removal of the NVMe. I used a 1 TB NVMe but it should take higher capacities. Be sure to look at the case when closing it and line up the little lock and the slot on the inside of the case. It was not easily marked. But Dang!!!! The price was right and it worked great!!!!!

I needed to transfer files off of a Samsung 880 pro and busted pc, this worked perfectly. Not the best transfer rates over usb A but a great value. For those having the issue where the screw is too tall, notice that the screw height offset from the top is the same as the thickness of your ssd pcb board, this is because you didn’t push the drive in fully. The screw goes to the side of the board not on top of it, per the instructions

I'm totally blind. I got this so I could use a 4TB M2M drive to back up my computer. The drive feels like a pack of gum for the most part. There is a USB C female plug on one end and a slide lever on the other end of it. I point this out being it took me a few minutes of playing with the drive to figure ou8t how to get it apart. You must press and slide the lever over and then you can press on that end of the drive to push out the center part that holds the M2M drive. Wants you have that out! You can put the M2m drive in the center part. Please make sure your hands are clean and dry! Also make sure you touch something madel to get rid of any static charge so you don't mess anything up before doing the below. You need to feel the drive and you will feel a small notch ware the pin connection is. On the other end of the drive, you will feel a whole. When feel near the center part close to the USB C connector you will feel a small raved area that is ware the pin side of the drive goes in first. Tilt it at a 45 degree angle and make sure you have the chips side of the drive facing up! Then teh M2M drive should slide into the center part easy and lay down teh drive. At this point, the screw whole in the M2m drive should line up with teh whole in the center part of the holder. Take teh two sdcrews out of the baggy that comes iwth the M2M reader being careful not to drop them being they are small! Put the small one in the underside of the center part holding it with something and then take the larger one and screw it down into the whole through the M2M drive locking it in place. Then take the heat sinc pads that come with the M2m Thumb drive holder and set them on top of the M2M chip! Placing your thumb gently on the heat Sinc pads slide the center part back into the housing. If you did things correctly! It should lock back in place. Now you should be able to plug it into yiour computer.Note! You probably need to bring up disk manager on your computer to be able to get the drive ready to go. If you are using a 4TB or lager drive! You will need to use the GPT option so you can then use all the space on the drive.Now in testing this, I was trying to copy over 1.21TB from my computer to the M2M drive. I got good transfer speed for about 20 or so minutes. Then the drive slowed way down but the copy process did continue. This was going on a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port using a 10GB cable. For the first part of the copy process! I was getting over 700MB and as high of 1.11GB per second. Then it dropped to 200-300MB per second. Like I said, it went good for about 10 to 15 minutes before slowing down.Now in saying the above! I do not know if this is do to the GPT option or not! But wanted to point it out.Other than that, I'm content with the thumb drive.

This works perfectly for reading drives or formatting them or just using it to house them.Very inexpensive and easy to use.

easy to setup and no issues.

Excellent thanks
