SABRENT Tool-Free NVMe & SATA M.2 SSD Enclosure, USB 3.2 Type-C (EC-SNVE)

I use these to edit video directly off of and for storage. The first one I bought to put some 1TB SSDs I had lying around to work for a project. It worked well enough that when I later bought a 2TB SSD, I bought a second Sabrent specifically to dedicate to it, so I could keep large media on it and cut from it on my MacBook Pro.Real numbers, since "fast" is not useful: with a Samsung 990 Pro PCIe 4.0 NVMe inside, I measured 977.7 MB/s write and 906.0 MB/s read on Blackmagic Disk Speed Test from a MacBook Pro. That is the USB 10Gbps interface saturating rather than the drive, which is exactly what you should expect. Do not buy this hoping to see your NVMe's rated internal speeds. No enclosure on this interface will do that.What matters more for editing: it handles 4K and 8K ProRes 422 HQ and H.265 without issue, and Blackmagic RAW up to 8K. It only stops being viable at 12K DCI 60. I cut video straight off it without copying files locally first.The tool-free design is the real selling point, and it is not a gimmick. Most enclosures make you unscrew the housing, work the drive out, and reassemble everything just to change drives. With this one you press the button, the top pops up, and you swap the drive. No screws, no small parts to lose. If you rotate between multiple SSDs the way I do, that difference adds up fast.No heat issues at all, which was my main concern going in. NVMe drives in small aluminum enclosures have a reputation for cooking themselves, and I have not run into that under sustained editing work.

Excellent quality enclosure, obviously built to very high standards, requires no tools at all which is excellent, I did have ti stare at the top lid a few seconds to be able to lift it off (its quite tight so you really have to pull on the end furthest away from the USB-C connector but once you lift to off to seems quite obvious). So I really like this enclosure, it's the nicest enclosure that I have ever purchased.It really is a no-tools enclosure, once I realized how to pull the top off from the end I was able to open it, slip in the SSD, close the SSD, plug it into my computer and begin my backups in 20 seconds, yes its that easy.The backups ran super fast, the built in fan kept the SSD running at top speed (modern SSDs all run very hot go get that high speed performance, having this all aluminum enclosure with the built in fan keeps he temperature down so its only warm which means consistent, reliable super high speed.)Highly recommended for its very high quality, easy to open/close with no tools, cool operations and super high performance.

I purchased this enclosure to repurpose an NVMe SSD as portable storage, and it couldn't have been easier to set up. The tool-free design is a huge advantage—just open the case, insert the drive, lock it in place, and you're ready to go in less than a minute.The aluminum enclosure feels solid and well made, and I like that it helps dissipate heat during larger file transfers. The connection has been reliable, and transfer speeds are noticeably faster than a traditional USB flash drive, making it perfect for backing up files, transferring large projects, or cloning a drive.Another thing I appreciate is how compact and lightweight it is. It slips easily into a laptop bag, so I can carry a high-capacity SSD with me without taking up much space. Everything worked as plug-and-play with no drivers or extra software required.For the price, this enclosure offers excellent quality and performance. If you have a spare NVMe SSD or need a fast external storage solution, this is an easy recommendation. It's well designed, simple to use, and performs exactly as advertised.

Pretty nice component. Had an extra 512gb nvme card from a swap and this works great as a scratch disc for adding photos to a photo frame. Install was straightforward, it includes a heat transfer pad (and extra one) and the finned all aluminum case is well made and feels solid. The outer area does warm up, but that’s exactly the purpose of the heat transfer process to air. It’s just warm to the touch.It comes with a C-C cable but I used an A-C as my desktop doesn’t have C ports and it works fine but a little slower transferring than the laptop with a C port and the included cable. It’s a non issue when just swapping photos back and forth.

I like Sabrent products and the USB4 enclosure is great but little things but me. The m.2 drive hold down/mount is not user friendly. I wish they could have used some of their previous models mounts or just a screw. Also, getting the top off was a little confusing and I had to make sure I only tried to pry up one side. Once it's put together with a drive, it performs amazing. I have used 2 different Samsung drives in it without issue. The material feels a little brittle so be gentle.

I purchased this to clone and swap NVME drives between two NUC's (see photo). From instructions on a YouTube video, I used this with Macrium Reflect to first make an image of each drive as-it-was, then applied the image from one drive to the other, expanding or shrinking the C:\ partition as part of the process depending on which drive I was I doing. I won't get into the technical details, but this enclosure worked absolutely great! No disconnects or anything during imaging processes. It never got hot, but indeed you could tell from its warmth it was doing its job.A quick note about the thermal pads (see image). It comes preinstalled with *one* pad, which works fine for double-sided drives (where there are chips on both sides of the PCB). For single-sided drives, they may not make enough (or any) contact with the preinstalled pad. You simply remove the protective backing from the included, second pad and just stick it right onto the preinstalled pad. BUT... just before I wrote this review I tested a Samsung 9100 Pro 4 TB drive in the enclosure and it just *barely* closes, but it won't snap and lock in place. Seems the thickness of the 9100 Pro even as a single-sided drive would actually work better with just a single pad installed. Regardless, just something to note in case you're unsure of what the second thermal pad in the box is for.Great item!

This was the perfect enclosure to park my spare 500gb nvme ssd. the enclosure is slick, the button on one end opens up the enclosure easily and smoothly. Theres two thermal pads to transfer the heat from the nvme into the shell of the enclosure to manage heat. The indicator light is plenty bright and the cable works well. it was easy to install the ssd and it has standoffs for shorter nvme drives as well. when mounting a full size drive you get a smooth tool free instal.No fan so it opperates silentlyFor the price i am happy with my purchase for sure.The cable is nice and short under 10inches longIf your looking for an inclosure you could do way worse than this one.

Most products have clearly recognized brand names, making the buying decisions a bit easier between the usually more expensive brands and the cheaper no-names. The buyer’s best advice is usually you get what you pay for. Although not a household name, Sabrent is generally regarded as on of the most trusted brands of this kind of SSD enclosure. So when I needed one this week, but only for one task to clone my computer’s internal drive, I looked for this brand expecting to pay a premium price. I was pleasantly surprised to find this model down in the same price range as some of the ones with the really low ratings. What was I giving up over the Sabrent I bought last year for sixty bucks?WHAT’S THE CATCHIf you put them side by side the difference is night and day. The premium model is much heavier, made of almost 100% aircraft grade aluminum while this model is part aluminum and part PVC plastic. But I also put this side by side with a really bad one that I didn’t even want to touch again, mainly because it was literally too hot to hold - imagine what it was doing to the expensive SSD inside. By comparison this one is much cooler, okay not as cool as the one that cost three times as much but at least it’s not going to set off any smoke alarms. Let’s face it, the two really important things are how cool it keeps the drive that it encloses and how fast the electronics inside let it communicate with your computer. A side benefit is being reasonably priced and it doesn’t hurt that it looks good.TOOL FREEif you’re going to put your SSD in an enclosure and never touch it again you can ignore this section. But if you have any intent of swapping the chip out a couple of times or more tool free can be a big issue. Why aren’t they all that way? There’s actually a good reason, if this enclosure is intended to safeguard your data drive through travel, exposure to the elements, prying hands, etc. having one that seals solidly shut is a good thing. This one is a prime example of superb design and simplicity. I only had to push one button to pop it open, slide the SSD into place and swivel a little plastic locking mechanism, no screws are needed. Then snap the lid shut and it’s ready to go.THE MISSING PIECEI have read the one star reviews that won’t accept this product because it doesn’t include the tiny set-screw. I’m not sure how to even react to that. Know this - it’s not needed, there is no place to use it. If you are using one of the shorter variants of SSD there is a small plastic plug to hold it in place, otherwise that’s what the full contact cover is designed to do.YES OR NOData protection is no trivial matter. That’s not to say that this enclosure will protect the data on the drive it houses but it does play a part in the equation. This one works as it should and I couldn’t even imagine trying to save a couple of bucks to go with a no-name one like I did last time and nearly fried my drive. This is a winner.

Boitier de bonne qualitée et débit bien suppérieurà une clé USB. Multi-boot avec Ventoy devient un vrai plaisirs.

I recently purchased the SABRENT USB 3.2 10Gbps Type C Tool Free Enclosure as a way to keep my additional NVMe as a compact and fast storage device, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The tool-free design made it incredibly easy to set up and the transfer speeds are incredibly fast thanks to the USB 3.2 10Gbps technology. The compact size also makes it incredibly portable, perfect for taking my additional storage with me on the go. I highly recommend this product to anyone in need of a high-quality and reliable external storage solution. Thank you SABRENT for creating such a fantastic product!

Jedyne plusy: Obudowa wygląda solidnie, a jakość wykonania — zarówno na zewnątrz, jak i wewnątrz — jest zauważalna. Beznarzędziowy montaż jest bardzo prosty (choć ma też swoje wady, o czym poniżej). Być może dla kogoś podniosłoby to ocenę do dwóch gwiazdek, ale nie dla mnie.Już przy pierwszym użyciu zauważyłem, że dołączony kabel USB rozłącza urządzenie przy nawet najmniejszym ruchu (może po prostu trafił mi się wadliwy egzemplarz, więc użyłem innego kabla wysokiej klasy), ale to był dopiero początek problemów.Urządzenie co jakiś czas samoistnie odłącza się od systemu. Podczas operacji na plikach doprowadziło to do uszkodzenia tablicy partycji. Zauważyłem też, że dołączony termopad jest za cienki i nie styka się z żadnym z moich dysków NVMe M.2 (Intel Optane 1TB, Samsung Pro 990 2TB, Samsung Plus 990 1TB, Crucial P3 1TB). Ponieważ brakuje tu oddzielnego radiatora, temperatura wewnątrz jest zbyt wysoka — to właśnie wada konstrukcji beznarzędziowej. Co prawda mieści się ona jeszcze w granicach normy, ale... zastosowany chipset to RTL9210, który jest powszechnie znany z awaryjności, zwłaszcza przy wysokich temperaturach. Inny chipset, lepszy termopad lub dodatkowa płytka radiatora rozwiązałyby problem.Spędziłem 3 dni na profesjonalnym odzyskiwaniu danych z uszkodzonej partycji, korzystając z moich pozostałych obudów topowych marek — nie było żadnych problemów. Dodałbym zdjęcia, ale byłem zbyt pochłonięty ratowaniem danych.Analiza:Technicznie obudowa trzyma parametry. Przyczyna nagłego rozłączania - urządzenie podczas pracy (kopiowania) przechodziło w sleep mode, co nie powinno mieć miejsca - to kolejna wada tego kapryśnego chipsetu.

Looked like a quality product and it indeed was one. It was very easy to install the NVMe in the case and it was detected without any problems. As an added bonus, the drive was kept cool by the cases padding, the transfer speeds were really good and the connections was stable. Highly recommended.
