Fast, well-built, and easy to use — highly recommended!
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!

Worked Perfectly Right Out of the Box
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.

On Par with SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD, Your PC interface is the limitation
With the costs of SSDs becoming more affordable, I have been upgrading my PC's internal and external storage to SSD. I have a Dell Inspiron 7570 laptop with Win10 Pro 64bit OS.Internally my PC has a M.2 NVMe connection and a SATA 3 connection for internal hard drive connectivity storage. On the internal M.2 NVMe connector I have a Samsung 500GB 960 EVO SSD for my OS which is blazing fast, with CrystalDiskMark reporting speeds around 3300 MB/s Read, 1800 MB/s Write.I had previously purchased a SanDisk 500GB Extreme Portable SSD which is supposed to be one of the fastest external SSDs currently available and I was kind of disappointed when CystalDiskMark was reporting speeds of 440 MB/sec for the SanDisk as compared to my internal Samsung EVO M.2 NVMe which was getting 3000 MB/sec speeds.Knowing the fast speeds of M.2 NVMe SSDs, I purchased this SSK enclosure to be paired with an 512GB Intel 660p M.2 NVMe in hopes of getting similar SSD speeds from my external storage as the speeds as my internal Samsung SSD was providing. However, you soon learn without being able to connect the SSD to an actual M.2 NVMe connection directly, that is just not possible. My PC has USB 3.1 GEN 1 external connections which has a MAX theoretical speed throughput around 640MB/sec (ie 5Gbps). The Intel 660p M.2 NMVe SSD paired with this SSK enclosure is getting similar speeds as the SanDisk Extreme SSD. I come to find out that the SanDisk Extreme portable internally also has their 600X M.2 NMVe SSD as reported by SanDisk's SSD Dashboard app. So the speed bottle neck of these external portable devices is really not with the SSD or the interface controller (SSK enclosure) they're connected to, but is more a limitation of the port on your PC you're connecting them to. If you have a USB 3.1 "Gen 2" port on your PC, which is able to get up to 10Gbps (1280 MB/sec) throughput speeds then I would expect you may be able to get double the speed that I am seeing with the USB 3.1 Gen 1 port. Also USB 3.0 speeds are the same as USB 3.1 Gen 1 speeds.Interesting enough, I also purchased a SanDisk 1TB Ultra Internal SSD which connects to a SATA 3 connection. I come to find out that SSD enclosure also has a SanDisk 600X M.2 NVMe SSD mounted inside of the box which just adds a SATA 3 interface converter. That internal SATA 3 connection provided 550 MB/sec read speeds. Therefore both of my PCs internal SSDs are faster than both of my external SSDsOverall, the size and build of this SSK enclosure is good. I posted a pic of it next to the SanDisk extreme portable where it's longer but thinner than the SanDisk. Performance wise they're about the same when connected to the same USB 3.1 Gen 1 port on my PC. Price wise I paid $60 for the 512GB Intel 660p M.2 NVMe SSD and $30 for the SSK NVMe 2280 enclosure for a total of $90. I also paid $90 for the 500GB SanDisk Extreme portable SSD. So total cost was exactly the same. I got 11GB of additional storage with the Intel SSD over the SanDisk. The only real benefit I can see of going with either a pre built external SSD such as the SanDisk extreme or a roll your own approach by purchasing this SSK enclosure is that as SSD sizes continue to grow and their prices continue to lower, is that the roll your own approach with the SSK enclosure will allow me to replace the internal M.2 NVMe SSD to a larger size in the future and save me about $30. I'm kind of disappointed that I was unable to gain any cost savings going with the roll your own solution while at the same time I'm happy the roll your own approach provided me similar speeds as one of the top external SSD solutions such as the SanDisk Extreme.Endurance comparison:There is a lot of confusion to sort through in regards to SSDs and their life expectancy. It typically boils down to the type of NAND flash the manufacturer uses for the SSD. TLC NAND is the lowest cost while having the least amount of life expectancy. SanDisk is not straight forward in publishing the type of NAND flash they are using in their SSDs. QLC NAND is the latest lower cost type of NAND while having a higher life expectancy over TLC NAND. I'm unsure of what which type of NAND flash SanDisk is using, so I thought I was doing myself a favor by purchasing the Intel 660p SSD since it specifies it is using QLC NAND. However, once I dug into the specs further you will see each manufacturer publishes a "TBW" spec. TBW= TeraByte's Written. For the Intel 660p it's TBW=100. Given the size of SSD is 512GB, this translates that I should be able to fill up the Intel a total of 200 times before I start seeing problems. The SanDisk Extreme's TBW=200 and since it's a similar 500GB in size, that translates to I should be able to fill up the SanDisk Extreme 400 times before I start seeing problems. So while I originally thought I was doing myself a favor by ensuring I was getting an SSD with QLC NAND by purchasing the Intel 660p SSD, that does not seem to be the case.

Backing up my system the EASY way.
Used this and a new SSD to backup my system's data. This SSD drive carrier [and included cable] plus a new SSD just like the one in my PC, PLUS Acronis True Image software which can be downloaded [usually free] from the MFR of the SSD you just bought. With this, you can CLONE the Hard drive or SSD inside your PC. IF something goes wrong with your Disk or SSD, put the cloned drive in your PC and you are back up and running again. For the record, I use crucial brand SSDs [from Amazon]. I had to fidddle thru to the right procedure, but I got to where I wanted to be. Put the backup somewhere safe and away from danger. Repeat this cloning process regularly to keep your backup reasonably current.

It fits like a glove & works like a charm!
The device arrived when promised, fit my ssd device like a glove and through the usb cables (both a & c were) supplied, quickly allowed me to see the files that nearly filled my 500 meg drive to the brink of overflowing. It even looks good doing its job. The only change I'd recommend would be to offer them in different colors to quickly differentiate multiple devices as needed. THX for a well designed product that works as promised!
