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 and the ease of installation with the tools and screws provided. Speedtested 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 about 40GB with my Windows 7 laptop via USB3, didn't make it (estimated time 24 minutes) but when I came back after 20 minutes there was an error on the Screen but the drive disappeared 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.
