Review: Good enough for professional use. - Works well enough that my employer is now purchasing them for data recoveries in our Asset Depot. With more laptops using m.2 SATA drives, this thing is becoming less optional and more necessity. - Expected transfer rates. - No heat issues. - The PCB slides into the enclosure along extruded rails and is a good fit. Minimal noise from movement. - For frequent access you can leave one end open and use a rubber band to keep the PCB in place. It's not the most elegant solution, but when you put a new drive in 5+ times a day, it's certainly more convenient... also safer than leaving the PCB sitting outside of the case.

Mit USB2 will man aber keine 1TB voll machen. Das Gehäuse ist aus Aluminium aber, wird auch nicht versprochen, in keinsterweise Wasserdicht. Und vorsicht das Gehäuse ist nur für SATA SSD zu gebrauchen sonst wird gleich wieder gesagt das es nicht Funktioniert. ## Frequently Bought Together - StarTech.com M.2 SSD Enclosure for M.2 SATA SSDs - USB 3.1 (10Gbps) with USB-C Cable - External Enclosure for USB-C Host - Aluminum, TAA (SM21BMU31C3) - SAMSUNG 990 PRO SSD NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen4, M.2 2280 Internal Solid State Hard Drive, Seq.
