USB Type-C 10Gbps M.2 SSD Enclosure M Key, Rongdeson USB 3.1 to PCI-E NVMe Hard Disk Case Aluminum Design Support 2230 2242 2260 2280 Support Samsung SM951/ SM961 (LM902, Charcoal Gray)

Gap pad is a nice touch. Intermittent on a recent Dell g3 for USB-C and usb 3.0 (turned off all the power saves). New ssd x4 Samsung...

Finally a USB-C to NVME M.2 adaptor that works! The only thing I would change is the amount of little screws You need to work with to remove the cover/drive. Otherwise I’d give it 5 stars

Tested with a Samsung 970 Pro with Win 10 installed on it. This adapter sees the drive as uninitialized, perhaps due to sector size reported. Might be OK as an external drive, but not useful for forensics and data recovery. Returned.

This is an excellent little adapter with nice build quality. A mini screwdriver and extra screws are included, along with a USB type C cable. Like the description says, this is just about the only NVMe-drive supported external adapter available on the market (there are others I think, but way more expensive.) Amazon estimated the product would arrive in 1 month, but I was pleasantly surprised that it arrived two days after I bought it. I also really like the aluminum case. NVMe drives intrinsically generate quite a bit of heat, so I think the metal casing is a good idea to dissipate that.Regarding benchmarking: I stuck my SK Hynix 256GB M.2 SSD NVMe drive into this that I took from my laptop, and I'm getting sequential read/write speeds of 900 and 800mb/s respectively; and random IOPS of 34k for both read/write. Not quite as fast as the max performance of the drive, but maybe I'm missing something. Still, this is about as fast as it gets for external drives.

followed the install instructions to the letter, my M.2 drive was fully functional and had all my backup files on it, luckily l was smart enough to back up the back up first. After installing into this case, the drive came up and worked for about 1 minute, then the blue lights went dim, and then M.2 NVMe was dead, shorted or burned out due to the case.The drive has worked without issue mounted inside my computer for 2 years, I upgraded to a larger drive and was to use this M.2 NVMe as a flash/portable drive. This case burned out the M.2 NVMe and it is now worthless. cannot access the drive via the case, or directly inserted in the computer, I get errors in Drive Managment in windows, and my MAC doesn't recognize the drive as even being present.

I'm not an expert. I have aa Samsung EVO in there and the Blackmagic readings are blowing my mind. This thing is useful for swapping around my SSD's and doing cloning. The resulting cloned SSD will live in an AKitio TB3 enclosure (around $200 versus the $60 for this little enclosure.) As for heat, I can easily touch (and hold in my hand) which is out of the question for the AKitio enclosure. Also, the Thunderbolt port providess the power. But there is no second port for daisy-chaining (of course.)Maybe this is useful for creating rescue media. And it looks like Mac os is willing to boot off of this drive. So if you want to create some sort of "take it home with me" OS environment, that's doable.

Don't know how trustworthy this enclosure is if you plan to run content off it. When performing my data backup the enclosure and pcb became insanely hot very fast. I figured it was normal for a data recovery load I was producing.Later on after I allowed the device to cool. I decided to start migrating my steam library, even off a 1GB download, the drive became very hot very fast. Now I understand NVMe drives do produce heat, but the drive THROTTLED.This was on a USB 3.0 port with included cables.Definitely returning the enclosure, All these other reviews with people stating the enclosure frying drives has me very sketched.

This is a wonderful device that work seamlessly with Samsung's 950/960 PRO NVMe disks. It gets a little hot when running it at full throttle, but I'm able to get just shy of 1,000MB/S with a Samsung 960 Pro 1TB, based upon BlackMagic's SpeedTest on a 2018 MacBook Pro. Not knowing who Rongdeson was as a manufacturer prior to buying this, I was pleasantly surprised.
