ineo Rugged NVMe SSD enclosure

I am not ashamed to say that have bought 5 of these so far. The rugged aspect was secondary to the write protect switch. I will simply not accept any USB media for my computer if it doesn't have one. That is why I keep going back to this.The main reason for this review is give a heads up to everyone buying longer cables for it. and then commenting it is slow. I needed a little reach so I bought some 3, 6, and 10 feet cables. That was a huge mistake for me and taught me a valuable lesson. Not all USB C are made the same. I need to find out if they have longer ones that the short ones they include.. The first image is with the factory cable. The next two are the same case, computer, and drive, using different non-Ineo cables in SS+ ports. I broke one (definitely out of warranty) so I have see where I can get a replacement. I will deal with the short cable for such a massive improvement in the speed.I hope one day they come out with a case of the same quality and features that holds two.

Worked perfectly. Good design. Snug fit with the thermal pad but that is a plus for heat transfer. This thing is HEAVY; much more than expected but that is not a negative for me.

I've been using this enclosure for years and was so impressed with its performance that I recently bought another one. When connected to a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port, it consistently delivers fast speeds. The build quality is exceptional, being a single piece of aluminum that provides excellent heat dissipation. Despite being tossed around in bags, desks, and drawers and dropped on floors, my previous enclosure has sustained little to no damage. In fact, it's more likely to damage whatever it hits due to its sharp edges and the fact that it's made of metal. The only minor issue I have is that removing an SSD from the enclosure usually requires removing both end covers and pushing the SSD out. However, given its overall quality, I would definitely buy this enclosure again.

I bought this particular enclosure because of the write-protection switch on the front but, unfortunately, I never got a chance to use it. That's because while re-screwing the back panel of the drive in place, I noticed that one of the screw hole sockets was stripped, so I couldn't tighten the screw for that socket. I thought that I might be able to ignore that, but after I screwed the remaining 3 screws in and tried to insert the cable into the Type-C socket on the front panel, the side of the back panel with the stripped screw popped out. I considered returning it and ordering an identical one, but I decided that I didn't want to take a chance on ending up with another defective enclosure.On the positive side, I did like the sturdy-feel and helt of the enclosure. I don't think there would be any chance that an inserted SSD would be damaged from a fall or other mishap.

I bought this SSD enclosure for performing an SSD upgrade on my Lenovo laptop. Sadly, a Win 10 update killed the OS -- none of the tricks explained on the web would work to revive the boot sector -- leaving me to replace the SSD, restore data, and reinstall apps. But I was planning to accomplish the "brain transplant" anyway because the factory 250GB SSD was anemic for my use. I removed the old SSD from the laptop, inserted it into the enclosure, installed the new 2 TB SSD into the laptop, then reinstall Win 10, then restored data from the old SSD to the new SSD, and then reinstalled apps (which is still ongoing). Finally, I kept the old SSD in the enclosure.The enclosure worked perfectly with the old SSD to restore data to the new SSD and now its role is a backup drive. There was no sign of overheating, and data transfer rate was excellent. Definitely a keeper.

Item would not write protect - was defective then while using it after the first few times the drive went completely out. Edit. Customer service was having Chinese new year so was slow.

Works flawlessly. I was able to copy forensic backup data to the device, flip the protect switch, and wasn't able to manipulate data on the drive. I purchased several for myself and clients to hold their sensitive data for overwrite protection.
