Beautiful looks, good quality, not the easiest to use

I received an alternative product with an extended USB 3 connector, not a universal C connector. However, the following review is still relevant. I liked the build quality of the product which is very durable and elegant. It was missing a great many instructions ranging from disassembly to installation to reassembly. It assumes you already have a good working knowledge of disassembling things - luckily I'm very skilled. There was no mention of which side to unscrew to take the product apart, and even if you need something like a pick or a small flathead screwdriver to pry both sides. The instructions also don't mention how to install m.2. SSD. You'll need to remove the screw and press against the SSD while it's screwed to the platter - the base doesn't screw directly onto the adapter, so you can screw the SSD in. Inserting the adapter into the case is not 100% obvious, apart from the rubber seal that prevents it from going back in. Here, too, the instructions are very lacking. Even if I had the correct version of USB C, the product is identical to USB 3 with a Micro+ connector.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging
