SABRENT M.2 NGFF SSD to USB 3.0 enclosure adapter

I ordered this housing because it was actually one of the cheapest available. The item is well packaged and the actual circuit board seems well designed and made. The metal housing seems like it will be very robust. It will fit a variety of length M.2 boards and you can secure them with a small riser at the end. My M.2 board fitted perfectly and using the riser and screw ensured it wouldn't come loose during use. You do get spare screws and risers too which is a nice touch. You also get a small screwdriver included in the box so you have everything you need to install your M.2 device. The USB cable is also included. The instructions are clear and concise with enough text and pictures to get you up and running without issues. One small note, my board (which houses the M.2 drive) seems a little loose within the metal housing so you do get a slight rattle when fully installed. This is the same even when the cap is fully screwed into place. It is a left to right movement rather then a length movement. This can be resolved with a bit of paper I expect. The speed seems very good and I have managed to back up the contents of the drive via the USB and even burn a CD straight from the drive at 10x speed with no issues. There is a light on the unit to show you when it is accessible and also when the data is transferring. Fully plug and play on windows 7 and 10 and no drivers were required. I certainly recommend this housing! Good company!

Slim but solidly made with nicely curved edges. A tad fiddly to fit the drive but that's to be expected given the size of the thing. Love that they include twice as many screws as needed AND a screwdriver. The USB cable supplied is a bit hefty, which others have criticised, but it's because it is combined power and data with a good quality (thick) cable - which you need to reliably get USB3 speeds. Nice tight fit in the socket. The metal body works great as a heatsink as these drives can get quite warm if you're working them hard. Performance on my Windows 11 is excellent (drive working at pretty much rated speed). All in all great quality.

Good enclosure for a m.2 drive but the usb port on mine has become temperamental and have had to tape around it and onto the enclosure to make the connection work. So you have to be careful of the port on the device

Sabrent's M.2 enclosure is perfect for making use of an old M.2 SATA drive as a fast USB 3.0 drive, but it's also very useful if you are thinking of moving from a hard drive or smaller SSD to a new M.2 card in a laptop or PC. The enclosure looks good in black aluminium and is really easy to assemble. The pack comes with the drive, USB 3.0 lead, screws and riser for the M.2 card and a handy screwdriver, along with basic instructions. To install the M.2 you just need to undo the two screws at the front, slide the inside out, grab the M.2 and the riser and screw to screw it in place on the card, slide the card back in and do the screws up. It took about 6 minutes but only because the screw for the M.2 is incredibly small (as they always are). My reason for buying this drive was to install a 500GB M.2 SATA drive in my ASUS laptop, in place of the current boot drive, a 128GB M.2). I installed this drive, used the Windows Disk Management to format it with one partition, used the free EaseUS Partition Master Free software to clone Windows and the recovery sector, then move the recovery sector around so I could re partition the Windows partition to make it larger. The enclosure works really fast on USB 3.0 but it still manages to work fast enough to be useful on USB 2.0 ports as well, so if you only have USB 2.0 then this can still be used. The only other thing to note is that M.2 drives can get pretty hot in use and this being metal, it can obviously heat up a bit, so worth bearing in mind.

I have two of these units - I think they are a great way to go to build a cheap USB SATA based M.2 drive. Definitely a lot cheaper than NVME and I suspect ultimately more reliable due to the simpler tech and no real need for thermal pads. I did have a problem with my second drive however - it operated at USB 2.0 speeds in most USB 3.0 ports - in the end I discovered that it was the supplied cable at fault. One other thing to note - this is very fiddly to put together, especially the tiny screw that holds the drive to the unit was very hard to get right - the supplied screwdriver isn't sufficiently magnetic and my other screwdrivers were too big for the task. Having said that I would buy a third if the need ever arose.

Very small but seems tough. Have been reusing an old laptop ssd harddrive in my work bag to record to and gets beaten around a bit but still works well and has fast transfer rates. Bought additional USB C cable which also works well..

Él adaptador es de muy buena calidad, en mí opinión: Ventajas: El case es de metal. Soporta protocolo UASP. Funciona en Distros GNU/Linux. Cable de buena calidad. Tiene manual y desarmador. Desventajas: Solo he notado que se calienta mucho la case al formatear la SSD.

Helps you recover data from the internal SSD of Laptop, whose Motherboard got damaged. Remove SSD from the Old Laptop, insert SSD carefully inside the SSD Enclosure and attach it to a functioning Laptop. Copy data from the SSD to the functioning Laptop.

お値段の割に、見た目も作りもバッチリです。 私が買った商品はSATA専用でした。 間違えない様に気をつけて下さいね。 動作も安定しており、問題なく使えています。

It's very compact and easy to carry. Durable and easy to use. Great quality. Gives a very sofisticated look! Happy to made this product buy.

Idéal pour transférer le disque dur SSD de votre vieil ordinateur et pouvoir continuer à l'utiliser comme un lecteur amovible.
