UGREEN SSD Enclosure, Tool-Free USB C External, 10Gbps M.2 NVMe to USB Adapter/Reader Supports M and B&M Keys and Size 2230/2242 /2260/2280 SSDs

Bang for your buck! Everything is great about it the only thing that I find has its pros and its cons is the way the Nvme ssd is secured. It’s a rubber latch that you pull in and out I feel like it will wear over time . Other than that it works flawlessly it’s tool less and easy to use I highly recommend it . And from my experience ugreen is a really decent brand not super high end but very durable and good quality and the warranty is really good.

Reading only negative reviews for a lot of these enclosures made me very skeptical about buying one, even this one. But I really needed to know if my m.2 drive died and I see a lot of praise for UGREEN products on youtube and amazon, so I figured why not? I also liked the grey tones and style of the enclosure, it looks cool :PThe outer shell easily slides off with a click and inside is a place to put your drive with a simple rotating thumb 'brace' to hold the m.2 drive down. It comes with a thick short USB-C to USB-A cable and a USB-C to USB-C cable, along with a thermal pad and some instructions.I kind of wish the indicator light was on the "push" side of the enclosure because of the way it sits facing away from me when plugged into my USB 3.0 hub. But it was easy enough to see the lights reflection around my desk, not worth knocking a star over that.My m.2 drive showed up in Windows, no problem. I left it plugged in for about 30 minutes. It never got hot at all and was easy to handle (despite was some reviews may say). I no longer need the enclosure at the moment, but it's good quality and you never know, so I'm keeping it. Would definitely recommend this enclosure to others!

Used it to clone my friends SSD to another fatter SSD. Worked really well and I also used it to clone my SSD on my steam deck and worked really well for that. It is a super sick design that works better than the other NVME to usb adapter I had that I bought from newegg.I would say probably the best part of this is how fast it is. If your pc has a usb c adapter makes this device entirely worth it for speed alone.It's a little bit expensive for what you get but that is okay it's not that bad.When you install the SSD into it over and over again I noticed that the device doesn't stay closed unless you force it. Not the end of the world but something to be aware of when putting a SSD inside of it.By far the easiest SSD adapter to put an NVME in it because it doesn't require a screw driver and a bolt to hold the SSD down.

I recently purchased this external hard drive and have had some time to test it thoroughly. Here are my thoughts:Pros:- Robust Storage Capacity: The drive offers ample space for backups and large files, which is perfect for both personal use and professional applications.- Fast Transfer Speeds: Connectivity and data transfer are seamless and swift, making it a reliable choice for frequent file transfers.- Compact and Portable: Its sleek design makes it easy to carry around, fitting comfortably in a laptop bag or even a pocket.Ease of Use: The setup was straightforward without any complicated procedures, working seamlessly with multiple operating systems.Cons:- Thermal Performance: The drive comes with a thermal pad, which is a nice touch. However, I've noticed it doesn’t do a great job in terms of heating. It tends to get quite warm during heavy use, which worries me about long-term performance and durability. The heating issue is especially noticeable when the drive needs to format large amounts of data simultaneously.Overall: Despite the heating issue, this external hard drive is a solid performer in most other aspects. It’s reliable, easy to use, and portable, making it a great choice for anyone in need of extra storage. Just be a bit cautious with prolonged heavy use, and consider additional cooling solutions if you plan to push its limits regularly. I’m giving it four out of five stars due to the thermal pad's underperformance.

This was so easy to use for an idiot even like me. Just plug in the ssd to the box, plug that into your pc, then I just used a free cloning program and within nine minutes I had cloned my hard drive to upgrade it. Worked perfectly with no issues. It comes with a cooling pad for the drive, plus some screws and two usb cables one of them being usb c to c. It was very fast and efficient with no issues or hang ups. I would recommend this for anyoen wanting to clone there drives.

I had bought the wrong size SSD and when it came in it was tiny, but I couldn't return it. I got this to put it in so I could use it. It's working great. I didn't have any trouble getting it installed into the adapter and it is working fine without any problems whatsoever. It's very fast to me. I'm not a gamer, but I do some graphics work and Excel and this is giving me plenty of storage and I don't ever have to wait if I do a save or a open. I'm very pleased.This is made well and seems sturdy.

It works great, but not for Android devices without a USB powered hub. As you can see from my photos the device gets power, but doesn't show up as storage unless I use a USB powered hub. This is horribly inconvenient and I may end up returning it as a result.Update: I decided to experiment with my ROG Ally 512GB 2230 M.2 NVMe drive to see if it'd work with my Samsung S24 Ultra without additional power. To my surprise it did! It's not clear to me if all 2230 NVMe SSDs would work or if only certain ones will. What's certain is the fanxiang 2TB 2280 NVMe SSD I bought on Prime Day using multiple enclosures does not. Buyer beware if you think any drive will work for Android devices. The advertising made it seem like any drive would with the proper formatting. That said after testing several NVMe enclosures this one has been the most reliable and fastest so I'll be keeping it. I'll be returning the Sabrent USB 3.2 10Gbps enclosure because it only got half the write speeds this enclosure got on one of the PCs I tested it on.
