Review on Ineo 10Gbps Aluminum External Enclosure by Kevin Schnitzer

I recently retired a SATA SSD from my machine. The drive still has a lot of life, so I decided to replace the many USB sticks I have lying around with a big, fast SSD that I can move around. I chose the INEO C2561c to have a little glimpse into the future with its USB-C Gen 2 interface: I opened the case, inserted my SSD, inserted the screws and the stamped rubber plug. After deleting old partitions and a quick format, it worked fine on every device I connected it to. The SSD it contains is a SATA 6 drive and reads and writes as fast as my PC's USB Gen 1 port will allow. I checked and the chipset on the device is VIA VL716 (my phone camera can't zoom that close so I couldn't take a picture of it). On the case, next to the USB-C connector, is a blue LED that emits a healthy blue light when the drive is in use. The aluminum finish feels solid and doesn't leave fingerprints. My only complaint is that the included USB-C cable is too stiff and too short for my liking. I would also have liked a USB-C to USB-A cable (that's what I currently use). Finally, in the box is a small screwdriver for the tiny screws you use to attach the aluminum case to the inner carriage. Very convenient. I can add another one for Mrs. I've read other reviews that mentioned that the foam padding might not be up to the task, but I didn't realize that the disc would rattle when I wasn't using them as maracas. There he has to ensure stability.
