Review on AMPCOM Enclosure Adapter M Key External by Joe Duncan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great Case, But…

This is a great all-metal NVMe SSD case with good design and excellent heat dissipation. You'll have to get over installing an SSD, though. First, there are no instructions. You get five long screws, one short black screw, a heatsink plate, a screwdriver, and a mysterious silicone strap. Four long screws are attached to the cover. I chose to use the fifth metal screw instead of the short black screw to attach the SDD. Second, installing a radiator requires patience. The pad has plastic sheets covering both adhesive sides. I had to trim the width to fit over the SSD. Otherwise the pad will overlap and interfere with the attachment of the case cover. Third, you can remove one of the sheets to attach the cover to the SSD. The pad is quite thin, the second sheet of plastic is difficult to remove as the pad itself is torn. This is how my heatsink plate is attached to the SSD piece by piece. My SSD is Hynix 500GB NVMe. It was easy to create and use a partition. The two cables are high quality and work well. After a long period of work, the case is barely warm. If there is no data transfer for a while, the device goes into sleep mode to save power (but recovers quickly). I really like the case aside from installing the heatsink gasket and decided to order a second one for my other Hynix SSD.
