The external USB 3.1 to M.2 (NGFF) enclosure turns your SATA M.2 solid state drive into a portable, high speed USB 3.1 drive. Get higher external performance by using an M.2 SSD in place of a platter drive, harnessing the full potential of your USB 3.1 computer system. The enclosure supports UASP, enabling you to achieve transfer speeds up to 70 per cent faster than traditional USB 3.1 when used with a UASP-enabled host computer. This slim, pocket-sized SSD enclosure has been specifically engineered for mobility. The enclosure features a lightweight yet durable design, which fits easily into your pocket or laptop bag. For further convenience, the enclosure is powered entirely using the USB host bus and requires no external power adapter. Durable aluminium construction helps to ensure your drive won't be damaged while you're on the move. Plus, to maximize heat dissipation the enclosure features specially engineered ventilation holes which help maintain a cooler operating environment for optimal performance and a longer life span for your drive. For wide compatibility with all of the common M.2 solid state drives, the enclosure can mount multiple drive heights including: 2242, 2260, and 2280. The M.2 enclosure is improved performance with UASP UASP is supported in Windows 8, Mac OSX (10.8 or above) and Linux. In testing UASP performs with a 70 per cent faster read speed and 40 per cent faster write speed over traditional USB 3.1 at peak performance. At the same peak in testing UASP also shows an 80 per cent reduction in required processor resources. Testing results were obtained using an Intel Ivy Bridge system and a SATA III solid state drive.

Solid quality item
Bought this because of the photos accompanying the listing. Even so I was really impressed by the look and feel of this when it arrived. All screws, leads and screw drivers included.Well worth the money.

Well made - Exeptional value for money!
Very well made - Robust and Rugged!Quality of the materials is exceptional for the price! Does exactly what it is intended fo, without issue.It is most defiantly not cheap, inferior Far Eastern quality.

Great Price and works perfectly
I had a spare M.2 Sata 2280 from a laptop that had died and needed a small backup drive to take on holiday. This has fitted the bill perfectly. Fitting the drive was easy - the kit came with all screws & screwdrivers. Connected to my PC (using supplied cable) and it detected it straight away. Was able to delete the old partitions on the drive and then reformat it to use as an external drive. Very happy with the product and would buy again.

Expensive but great for making a portable ssd
A bit expensive for an empty case, but it's really nice quality aluminum and the data transfer rate using my laptop's type C port is great. Had a constant 350 MB/s with a cheap 256 ssd.
