Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very easy installation

For the price this was a great buy. The case is exactly what I wanted, very thin durable aluminum case and light weight. Make sure your SSD matches the case description. I had to search through dozens of m.2 cases to find one for a B&M keyed SSD. I have an Acer Aspire 5 A515-52-526C. I replaced m.2 SATA SSD with PCIe m.2. I put an old m.2 in a case to use as external storage. It is easy to disassemble and insert the SSD. They even included a tiny screwdriver and extra screws. A USB cable and USB-C adapter were included, which saved me from making additional purchases. Be careful, as with any very small case, the case will get hot. There is an air gap between the SSD and the case, it is not a heatsink. After disconnecting from the computer, the case cools down very quickly. CONS: This device has an activity LED, but it's mounted too far into the case to be useful.

Pros
  • Sturdy finish
Cons
  • Damaged
