UGREEN M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure, USB 3.2 Gen 2 10Gbps NVMe Enclosure, Aluminum Tool-free Hard Drive Enclosure Support UASP & TRIM for M and M&B Key in 2230/2242/2260/2280 SSDs

Works exactly as it should, I've got a crucial m.2 out of a faulty donor laptop and was able to still access all the files as required for a friend.It's got a quick release design meaning it's screwless and is extremely sturdy.It's easy to setup and get going and the rubber casing and the metal outer shell protects it from minor drops and impacts.Cable length could be longer bit is adequate.

Superb product. and I'm onto my 3rd purchase now. Utterly reliable and really fast. It is wise to have a fan blowing onto it because it can get quite hot.

Got the item today, and it is my first USB to M.2 adaptor so nothing to compare it to.I unpacked the product and examined what was provided, the device itself, which is a plastic shell inside another outer shell that absorber material on it to soften any impact from a fall or some other type of force.Two documents with tiny text and images, one of them instructions.Short USB type C to type C cable.Thermal pad.The instructions are reasonably clear except that there is no mention of the thermal pad. I examined the case, and the thermal probably should go on top of the M.2, not underneath, however when examining inside the outer shell, the pad would clearly be making contact with nothing at all. I felt it a bit pointless so didnt install it, and is perhaps why its not mentioned in the documentation as I expect it wasnt originally incorporated into the design, at best the pad will be a weak heat spreader considering it wont make contact with the outer shell. If like me you might be swapping drives in and out the case, using a pad adds needless complexity as well.It is tool less which is nice, working on tiny M.2 screws is horrible, although the little plastic holder is fiddly in itself, took me a few mins to get it in. If that gets lost, the problem is then that it is propriety to the product, so take great care with it.I slid the inner part back in to the outer shell but had to check the manual for correct orientation, it doesnt just go in any way. But once pushed in correctly its easy, and clicks in place.Attached the USB cable and everything is working when using it with my laptop. Performance is very respectable. 1000MB sequential (laptop itself only has 2 PCIE lanes, so its not that far off the 1600 on internal M.2). Random 4k performance is very similar to if installed internally.The power LED is at the end and could be covered by the outer protective rubber, I would have preferred it in a more visible location. It does flash on activity.I have a room temp of 27C whilst testing this, bit of a heatwave in my part of the country, internal M.2 is 31C, and this one is 35C, so its not particularly hot and cooler than M.2 in my desktop which are approaching 50C.Just be aware the cable that comes with this unit is to fit USB type C devices, you could probably still buy a USB C to A cable, but if thats what you going to do, there is an alternative adaptor that comes with C to A instead. This isnt clearly labelled on the product page, but eyeballing the product picture indicates the difference between the two products.An earlier review says both cables are provided with this product, but my unit was just C to C cable, although the bag the cable came in looked designed for two cables. If you not sure which to buy, buy the product that comes with type A cable, as type A is still a far more common port on hardware, as an example I have a modern desktop PC and that only has a single type C port, but more than 8 type A ports, my laptop has two of each, but the type A ports are more accessible, and one of the type C is used by the charger.

This UGREEN M.2 NVMe SSD enclosure has been an absolute game-changer. Installation was a complete doddle—just slide in your M.2 drive, secure the single screw and snap on the aluminium cover. No faffing with drivers or cables, it works instantly with my laptop and desktop alike.Performance is impressive: I consistently see transfer speeds approaching the advertised USB 3.2 Gen 2 10 Gbps, which makes offloading large RAW files a cinch. The solid metal build doubles as an effective heatsink, so the drive stays cool even under sustained transfers. It’s compact enough to slip into a pocket yet feels reassuringly robust in use.For the price, it represents outstanding value for money. It’s affordable, looks smart alongside my kit, and has saved me countless trips back to the office for forgotten files. I’d buy it again in a heartbeat, and I’d wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone needing a reliable, easy-to-use, high-performance external SSD solution.

Very impressive enclosure, have a 1TB nvme drive installed, and used Macrium Reflect to clone the boot drive successfully within 22 minutes, actually faster than from one onboard drive to the next!, great peace of mind for backup and very good price

Super fast transfer, I was shocked to see this transfer speed. Note- under device manager if u go to disk drives and select ur external name ssd (for higher write and read speeds u can enable write caching but this will increase heat) , for me I chose quick removal the read speed was 900 MB/sec average but it can go 1000+ if u enable write caching. Temps are perfect under my setting and I am using a 1tb nvme. If u have faster nvme and higher storage nvme , this enclosure can cause overheating so be careful when u purchase. For my 1tb nvme this enclosure is perfect. Cable length is not too long nor too short it was optimal length, weight was light , ease of use is more like permanent- not easy to swap multiple nvme ssd and this can damage the slot( make sure it’s permanent ) ALSO PLEASE REMOVE THE PLASTIC , there are two plastic when u apply thermal pad this is very important

Quality adapter, easy to use and works well

I purchased this enclosure to allow me to swap my Legion Go NVME drive (by transferring a clone of the original.This drive worked perfectly for that purpose, but also allowed me to then use the removed drive as a very fast portable hard drive.I can read from it at c.900 MB/s which is awesome.It's got a lovely push button opening mechanism and is very sturdy, the rubber housing that slips over it stops it from getting damaged and absorbs shock.The included cable is also very high quality and thick.
