NVME/SATA Enclosure

Worked perfectly, transferred data very quickly and was easy to install the drive.

After my old laptop died, I needed a way to recover important files from the internal SSD. I picked up this case along with my new laptop, and it worked exactly as advertised. Installation was quick and easy—the heat tape included was a nice touch to help keep the SSD secure.I was able to start transferring files right away with no issues. One thing to note: during longer file transfers, the case did get quite hot to the touch. It still functioned perfectly, but if you're planning on using it for extended sessions, I’d recommend having some kind of cooling method or just taking breaks between transfers.Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase. It did the job quickly and reliably, and now I can continue to use my old SSD as a portable drive.

I was trying to migrate a Windows installation to a new drive. this worked perfectly as it allowed me to plug it into a computer that has a great and native disk utility. drive installation is quick & easy.

Bought a few of these now. I wished they came in a smaller size for smaller nvme drives. However they work great and fast. Does get warm from my damsung 990 or 980 pro installed. Comes with multiple usb adapters.

I recently purchased the SSK Aluminum M.2 to USB NVMe SATA SSD Enclosure Reader from Amazon for $18.99, and I must say that I am quite impressed with the product. The enclosure works beautifully, just as advertised. However, some people complain about the top speed of the device not reaching full potential, but it's important to keep in mind that it states the top speed is 10gb/s, and the drive needs other efficient hardware to reach full potential.(I just noticed in my pic the particular PC I am using has a USB-C that I am not plugged in to which would speed this drive up, it is nice to have it be able to plug in both types)While some people have complained about the tiny thumb screw, I believe it's understandable given the size of the drive and enclosure itself. The product is priced reasonably at $16-20, so I don't think people should be whining about it. The USB-A and C cables included with the product worked just fine for me, although they are a bit short.I purchased this product to expand an additional SSD hard drive in my computer that I installed games on, and it was great. I was able to copy my existing SSD drive onto a new expanded size Drive and then place what was in the enclosure in my computer. I took out the SSD that wasn't my computer and now I have a massively sized external hard drive to play around with. It was definitely worth the money.One thing to note is that unlike a thumb drive, files that are deleted do not permanently disappear. They are put in a trash can, and you can restore or undelete the file by pressing Ctrl Z.Overall, I'm quite happy with my purchase of the SSK Aluminum M.2 to USB NVMe SATA SSD Enclosure Reader. It works great, is slim and easy to use, and has a solid drive holder that is not going to slip or come loose. The holding screw is a bit tricky to install, but once it's done, it's great. I would recommend this product to anyone who needs a slim M2 enclosure for their backup or just a huge USB thumb nail type drive with tons of storage.Make sure to use the "Safely remove hardware" function to unplug this, or turn the PC off before unplugging to prevent corrupting the drive.

Happy with this devices performance, especially for the price. Can't comment on longevity, but it does deliver on the 1000 Mb/s promise and kept the drive cool enough throughout the tests, hitting a maximum of 52C. Had a slight bit of trouble installing the drive - you really have to push hard on the plastic housing when re-inserting it into the aluminum frame. Was surprised to see that the screw for holding the ssd in the enclosure did not have a head on it for a screwdriver of any kind, only hand tightening. Would be nice if that screw had a flathead on it for making sure its locked in nice and tight.

Pros:- Inexpensive compared to other enclosures.- Works with M.2 2240, 2260, & 2280 NVMe SSD.- Tool Free- Easy to use.- Comes with heat transfer tape pads.Cons:- The little screws holding the SSD to the enclosure are somewhat awkward to install.Summary:This aluminum NVMe enclosure does the job that other enclosures do but at less than 2/3 the price of its next low price competitor. I used it to initialize and format some 2TB Samsung 970 EVO drives and Silicon Power 2TB M.2 2280 NVMe drives for upgrades on some laptops. I also used the enclosure to do cloning of the OS, software, and files off the smaller NVMe drives in the PC's using the USB-C port. Everything was easy and simple with the drives and enclosure recognized immediately by Windows 10. I experienced no signs of overheating even though I did not use the heat transfer tape provided.The only small inconvenience was the small screw (hence small inconvenience) used to hold the SSD to the enclosure board. It is round and rotates in the enclosure board when trying to put the nut on from the other side. It can also fall out of the enclosure board when turning it over to install the SSD. My solution was to put a small piece of tape over the screw head to hold it in place while installing the SSD and putting on the nut. I took the tape off after installation. After I figured that out, it saved me several minutes of finicky time when changing out SSD's in the enclosure. A very minor point that I did not detract any stars from the review for.I recommend this SSK Enclosure because of the low price for high performance.
