ELUTENG M.2 SSD Enclosure NVME SATA Dual Protocol SSD to USB Adapter Aluminum USB C 3.2 Gen 2 10Gbps PCIe M and B&M Keys External Solid State Drive Case Max 4TB for 2230/ 2242/ 2260/ 2280 SSDs

After upgrading my main PC nvme drive, I was left with an extra 500gb gen 3 nvme drive.Wanted an enclosure just to keep the drive safe and that I could use to back up random stuff or to clone my main drive. After looking through many usb 3.1 enclosures, I found this one. The price seem right, but the best feature is that it uses the Realtek RTL9210 chipset. This is the best chipset to use on external nvme enclosures. The other chips available from other manufacturers have issues and run very hot. This chipset also gives you the option to use nvme or ssd m2 drives, which you have to pay more for that feature on other chips.This tool less case is very easy to setup and I was ready to go in 2 minutes.After plugging the drive into the USB C port in the back of my pc, I was getting max speeds of 1000 MB/s reads and writes. Also I tested file copy to see if I would get any slowdowns. I was able to copy a single 50 gig file in a couple of minutes with no slowdowns. Then I copied a 166 gig folder with many files in it and I was extremely surprised that it copied the whole folder in about 6 minutes and the drive did not slowed down once. You can see the transfer rate on the picture attached. You can see that there are no significant dips or slowdowns. Also you can see the screenshot of crystalmark speeds showing the 1000 MB/s rates.I was also able to plug in the case into my Note 20 Ultra and I was able to see the drive and copy files into it.Now, after the benchmarks and tests the case got very warm. It would have been perfect if this case would be metal. I really dont see the point of having the heat pad in the package if the enclosure it plastic.This enclosure does exactly what is suppose to and does it well. Like a previous reviewer stated, I would not use this enclosure to keep the drive plugged in all the time. I would use it just for backing up data or moving files.ANd if you want to get a really good nvme drive , I would recommend the INLAND PREMIUM nvme drives, which is the one I have on this enclosure at the moment.

Easy to open and install the SSD although the tiny plastic "hold-down" they use instead of a screw was a bit hard for someone with adult-sized fingers. Still, once inserted, it holds the back of the chip firmly in place.Additionally, this came with both Type-A and Type-C USB cables, which I needed.

Excellent device. So easy to make it work and so convenient.

This worked perfect for me with an NGFF Sata drive out of my 16 month old $830 Lenovo boat anchor that shortly after the warranty ended needs a $627 motherboard. (planned obselescence?)I pulled the drive, installed it in this case, plugged in my new laptop, and realized that to open the drive with Win 11 OS, I needed a Microsoft 48 digit recovery key. Followed the instructions and there it was in my Microsoft account. Easy peasy, opened right up and I was able to copy any file I wanted. I copied a few directories and when unhooking noticed the case was almost too hot to touch - way too hot in my opinion. Next time I use it I will leave the outer case off.Great product, works well, super inexpensive, and worked without any drivers. I'm dropping 1 star due to the heat issue.

Very easy to use. Easy to install the SSD. Lockdown was pretty snug so took a little getting used to, but it's totally tool free. I thought it was defective because the activity light didn't work but turns out either end comes off and I had put it together backwards. Keying each end might be helpful to avoid the same mistake I made, but I won't knock any stars off for that.Overall, fantastic product at a great price that did exactly what I needed it for. I'd recommend it!

It's just an enclosure, but it does exactly what it needs to do, and does it well.It doesn't get very hot at all.Its a toolless case, and the tray/drive area can slide back in either way.It comes with two cables (which I personally prefer to a cable and an adapter).Speeds are as expected for usb 3.2It support SATA and NVME, with all the different key types, and sizes (2230-2280).Price is on the lower end of the spectrum.These all seem like they should be standard for an M.2 enclosure, but many models fail at keeping it simple. They require a tool, don't support all the various types of drives, or aren't well designed.Would, and probably will, buy again

I bought this to use with a 1TB M.2 (2280?) SSD. Initially, as part of my testing, it seemed to work; allowing my to write a large directory to the storage device. However, when I attempted to read back the files I had just written, the connection to the device was lost. Unplugging and plugging it back in (the usual Windows 'fix') did not restore function. A system reboot also did not restore function. I swapped the 1TB into an SSK external SSD enclosure, and it worked properly. I am sending this back.It's too bad. It's a good form factor with a good price. For now, I'll stick with an SSK external SSD enclosure.

Low speeds, Samsung 990 2TB getting too hot literary had to put it next to a 250mm fan when passing to back of the inclosure
