Review on ๐Ÿ’ช ASUS ROG Strix Arion Lite Portable External M.2 SSD by Vedavyas Fleming

Revainrating 5 out of 5

WORST CASE - NEARLY DESTROYED MY COMPUTER

This has to be the worst case, which is surprising considering the high price. Most of my devices are ASUS and I'm happy with their quality, but this thing is terrible. I bought a new solver p5 and set it up with no problems, but as soon as I tried to format it I refused to recognize the drive and gave me windows errors saying the drive is bad! I try to eject the disc and my whole computer starts to freeze! I couldn't even boot my computer because this thing must have broken something and I had to do a full CMOS reset to post again. I know this is the problem because NVMe is brand new and works great in my m.2 slot. The RGB lighting came on and although the case has thermal pads, it got very hot even in the short time I had it plugged in. .I don't see other people with this problem so I think I have a bad block. The fact that I was getting disk errors and couldn't post a backup without going into the bios is why I strongly recommend not buying this thing. Looks cool but don't risk your computer.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • sad packaging
