Review on ElecGear NV-2242A USB 3.1 NVMe Enclosure: High-Speed Mini External Aluminum Adapter for PCIe M.2 SSD, 10Gbps Flash Drive with Magnet Cap by Adam Krueger

Revainrating 4 out of 5

rare find but no threaded hole for 2230

is rare at all i could only find 2 short nvme cases on internet they are 2242 and below this is because my wife has a new dell inspiron 2 in -1 Series 5000 (Intel 11th Gen) came with a 2230 NVME and I upgraded to a much larger and faster NVME so with 256GB I wanted to take advantage of the small size and performance of a Dell machine . Something more compact and faster of this comes with ElecGear in the picture, you can see how much smaller it is compared to the popular Subrent, which is already compact and supports up to 2280, it's fast from USB-A 3.1), but since I've got it i bought it with the promise of 2230 compatibility, i was expecting a screw hole to secure it as it has NO screw hole for 2230, only for 2242, at least it comes with thermal pads which are pre-mesh (half cut in ds fine mesh , tear into small pieces easily) and somehow hold the drive in place, not sure how it will behave if I accidentally drop the drive whether the SSD will slide out of the slot or not.

Cons
