SSK M.2 NVME SATA SSD Enclosure Adapter, USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) to NVME PCI-E SATA M-Key/(B+M) Key Solid State Drive External Enclosure Aluminum Support UASP Trim for SSDs 2242/2260/2280

I picked up this SSK M.2 NVME SATA SSD Enclosure Adapter to repurpose an old NVMe drive, and I couldn’t be happier with the purchase. The aluminum enclosure feels sturdy and well-crafted, with a sleek design that helps with heat dissipation.Installation was straightforward — no tools required beyond what’s included, and my SSD fit snugly without any issues. It’s compatible with both NVMe and SATA drives, which makes it a very versatile option if you have different types of M.2 SSDs lying around.Performance-wise, I’m getting great speeds — close to 10 Gbps on USB 3.2 Gen 2, just as advertised. Transfers are fast and reliable, and it fully supports UASP and TRIM for optimal SSD performance.If I had to point out one minor thing, it’s that the enclosure can get a little warm during heavy transfers, but that’s to be expected with metal housing — and it’s doing its job dissipating heat.Overall, this is an excellent enclosure that’s well worth the price. Perfect for backups, cloning, or just giving new life to an extra SSD!

This was my first time buying an M.2 enclosure, and I’m really glad I went with this one. Build quality is solid — the aluminum body feels sturdy, not cheap or flimsy. Setup took less than five minutes. I installed a 1TB NVMe drive I had lying around, plugged it in, and it was instantly recognized on both my Windows PC and MacBook.Tested speeds over USB 3.2 Gen 2 and they were right in line with what I expected — fast enough for backups, media editing, and even bootable OS installs. I also appreciate that it supports both NVMe and SATA, which gives me flexibility for older drives.If you’re looking for a no-nonsense, well-built enclosure that just works, this is it. First time buying from SSK and I’d definitely consider their products again.

Very nice build quality to take an nvme and make it a usb drive! I still use it to this day and I've had it for quite a while. I really like it and would buy it again if I needed one. I made an oopsie nvme purchase and I didn't want the drive to go wasted so I put it in here and now I can use it on any computer! Better than any flash drive I have. I would totally buy it again if I needed a portable storage option and wanted usb 3.0 and nvme

I got this to clone my existing m.2 SATA drive to a larger one. The hardware works fine, no issues with Windows 10. However, it reports its own hardware information, which means you can't use the license-included WD-specific True Image cloning software, as it can't find any WD (SanDisk) hardware. I used a demo version of Macrium and it just worked. Tech support said you can use the license-included software with m.2 drives only if the internal drive is the new one, or you have two m.2 slots. Maybe you can put your old drive in this thing and set the PC up to boot from that, with the new drive in the internal slot, is didn't think of that before using Macrium. Seems like tech support should have suggested that. Also, SSD tech support is separate from HD tech support, don't waste time on the HD version, they will just tell you to look at SanDisk support.

First off, the packaging is top notch. Two cardboard shells offered protection from our gorilla-like USPS employees we all have in our communities. Outer housing isn't some cheap aluminum, it's got some serious thickness (1.2mm / .050") to it. The thickness will undoubtedly help carry heat away from the NVME chips. The housing slides over the NVME and there are no fasteners required to keep it in place, but there are 2 countersunk screws provided if you do choose to use them. Fit and finish are spot on. My previous NVME adapter you had to dismantle with 2 screws and it was a pain. Inside there's a bit of wise mechanics. There's a plastic lever that pushes up on the back of the circuit board that holds the NVME, it pushes upwards so the SSD seats against the housing. Using the included heat tape is a must. The only thing I'd like to see is additional pieces of heat tape. A blue indicator light flashes when there's activity hooked up to your PC.A tiny phillips screwdriver is also supplied. Overall this is a very nice piece of kit. On future versions, I'd like to see a blind screw hole to keep extra screws and brass sockets, as I had to use an unused circuit board hole to keep the unused (extra) screws and brass sockets from getting lost. This is going to go in a mobile kit that's going to see a lot of service calls.

Can't beat the value! Works well. Bought a second one.The tight fit can make it a bit fiddly to insert into the enclosure (the thermal pad drags).No problem as I'll use this adapter mostly for testing SSD's, only occasionally for backups, so I generally won't bother to insert the SSD and adapter into the aluminum enclosure. Also, I want to cool the SSD directly with a fan.Regarding temps, with the SSD installed on the adapter board, but NOT enclosed, I measured temps with an IR temp meter during large image file transfers. A 5" fan brought the hottest part of the SSD down to 95*F (was 160*F with NO fan). I haven't measured temps with the adapter installed in the aluminum enclosure.Nice product!
