WARNING: It gets very hot during data transfer and fails after a few minutes.

I was very impressed with the build quality of the case, easy to install with all the tools and screws provided. Mac, did a speed test with the Blackmagic Disk Speedtest Tool and it showed 950 up and down - I was happy! Today I decided to transfer some ISO images totaling around 40GB with my Windows 7 laptop via USB3 and left it at that (estimated time 24 minutes). ) but when I came back 20 minutes later there was an error on the screen but the drive was gone from Windows Explorer. I went to take it out and almost burned myself - it was SO HOT! I couldn't hold it in my hands for a second! I was afraid it would damage my SSD! It got cold after a while, so I decided to test it on my Mac. Drive did not show up when connected via USB3 cable. I showed up after switching back to USB-C. So I ran the Blackmagic Disk Speedtest again, this time running it continuously for several minutes while holding the disk. it started to get hot very quickly! After just a few minutes, I broke down, stopped the speed test, and pulled out the drive. I won't be playing with this case anymore as I'm afraid it will damage my 1TB SSD. send back to amazon. Bottom line, this case is very cool, very small and portable, and I really really liked it. However, there seems to be a lot of design flow and due to this issue with HEAT, this case is NOT meant for permanent use. Unless you save small files and turn it off immediately.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Some flaws
