NVME Enclosure

A nicely built enclosure for these tiny drives. It uses USB C for the main connection and comes with cables for USB C and USB A. I like the latch system. A little slider on the front of the enclosure allows you to open and lock the box closed. This is much easier than the tiny screws that some enclosures use. I have tested these on a couple of the NVMe drives with different connectors and in all cases the enclosure allowed the drive to work. I would buy this item again.

This item worked perfectly. Easy to assemble and use. After upgrading the size of my M2 ssd drives I generally have left overs that sit around unused. This is a cheap way to add additonal space via usb3 speed for files that are for storage . Being an M2 it can remain plugged in if need be and is recongnized as a regular drive like it was before. Highly reommend this well made inexpensive solution.

Assembly was a little confusing, but not too difficult. Very sturdy and works well.

Work's fine, but the instructions could have been a larger especially the image so I could figure out what went where. My first time using an SSD enclosure. The screw you need to use is so small I could barely do it and I'm petite with small hands. Once done though it read my SSD that I took out of my Windows computer just fine and they formatted it and I'm using it on my Linux.

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 have tried several other enclosures and this one works best. It does get a little warm under heavy load but performance is great and I am very satisfied with this product.

I used this as a second SSD carrier when I upgraded my Dell Latitude 5320 SSD from 512GB to 1TB. Laughably easy. My process: - I had a Wester Digital 1TB SSED to upgrade to to I first put it into this NVMe carrier so that the WD Acronys SSD migration tool would see it and allow me to create the bootable USB drive with the migration/cloning tool. - My employer had some mandatory security setting so my next job was to turn off Bitlocker, which I had to do in Safe Mode so that the stinkin' security monitor didn't just turn it straight back on again. - Then I opened the machine and took out the 512GB SSD and put it into this NVMe enclosure, and put my new 1TB SSD into the laptop. - Then a reboot of the laptop found the SSD cloning tool on the bootable USB drive and I set that off to clone my prior SSD now in this NVMe carrier to my new 1TB SSD in the laptop. Took about 25 minutes, faster than I expected. - Job done. Turned Bitlocker back on, recorded my Bitlocker key, and ran a manual TRIM command to be sure. Overall, less than an hour from start to finish. This NVMe carrier was invaluable. A very useful addition to my digital toolbox.

Quick and easy installation. Couldn't get my RP 5 hat to accept the 1 Terabyte WD_Black NCMe via a hat installed on the pi. But, with this adapter, can access the drive from the RP 5 and from my Mac.
