Review on AGPTEK M.2 NVME SSD Enclosure USB 3.1 Gen 2: Tool-Free, UASP Supported (2230/2242/2260/2280 Compatible) by Todd Phillips

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Freezes the system best in hard drive enclosures

I used it as an external storage case for my Mac Mini. Although it works well (performance), it causes freezes from time to time. I put my "home directory" on the SSD that I put in this case. So whenever I do something (a little more than usual, like `npm install`), the system hangs. I thought my SSD couldn't handle disk operations. So I stopped indexing Spotlight. This seems to have slowed down the frequency of freezes, but it's still doing so at an annoying level. I once noticed that when the machine freezes, the indicator is constantly lit (usually blinking). So I suspected a case instead of an SSD. I've ordered another case from Revain with the fastest delivery and it's been over 7 days, with the same SSD and a new case, and the machine hasn't crashed once. Also, I get much faster read/write speeds with this new pack (MOKiN)! I'm glad I chose a different case. I sent this one back!

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • Hard to say
