Review: Why buy premade? Depends.. - Honestly, the best portable storage device you can have it's the one you can make, maintain and be sure it's fast and solid. For reviewing, I've used the WD 7100 1TB SSD in this A1 enclosure with the included USB-C cable on a USB-C 3.1 port. PROS: - Solid aluminium body - Thick walls - Amazing heat dissipation due to the above - Solid and thick isolating rubber (confident no water or dust will ever enter this enclosure even from the USB-C port) - Speeds are well above the competitors (by that i mean prebuilt T7 or Crucials which are limited to slower speeds - they perform as well but lack of speed means restricted use scenarios) - USB C 3.2 cable included provides the best speeds (which will be a CON too because if you lose the cable or use a slower one you'll get slower speeds) - Easy to install the M.2 and secure once screwed in with the included tool (a small hex/allen key) - Can fit any M.2 size that is 22mm wide and up to 80mm long (there are longer ones but not that common); So from M.2 2230 to M.2 2280 CONS: - The enclosure is a bit bigger than the prebuilt competitors, but not too bulky and fits in all rubber mounts and most pockets fairly well - Use the USB Cable included if you want the best speeds; otherwise, your speeds might vary depending on the cable you're using Recommendations: - If you plan on using it on any devide (your phone, windows PC, Mac or even a streaming device through an USB dock) it's best to format the SSD to exFAT so any machine can read and write to it without sacrificing speed - There is no need to go overboard with the best or fastest M.2 SSD you can find, because most of them are made for specific applications. In my case i got the above mentioned WD just because that's what i use primarily in all my machines and had no issues with them. You can even try Crucial ones or whatever you think is best as long as it's TLC Memory (a bit slower but more reliable compared to QLC ones.) Will come with an update if anything happens (like the chip inside failing or something goes wrong with the enclosure).

sturdy, heavy piece metal case with all tools needed, premium quality

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid quality
*by T***N on 7 January 2024*

Solid Build Quality, easy to install, it’s made from solid metal, feels solid in hand and it should take some punishment if dropped or knocked. The ssd touches the heat sink, which then moves the heat on to the metal case so it should keep lovely and cool. I brought many cheap Chinese ssd cases and they were poor and caused issues so when I saw there was an offer on the ASUS brought it. For ssd cases you need quality and ease of use, most of the Chinese ones comes with a single piece of silicon to hold the ssd in place (not screws) ASUS has a turn bolt to fasten it in with ease and keep the ssd in place. I went for a WD Black M2, my second choice would have been a Samsung M2, both good ssd brands that are reliable.
