USB works with low temperature drives

The USB part of this drive is fine and gets 4 stars. The transmission speed is good and it does what it is supposed to do. However, thermals have a design flaw. Depending on what type of M2 drive you have, you'll probably need to use thicker thermal pads than the ones that come with them. The Samsung EVO drive I had was 1mm smaller and didn't touch the drive's heatsink. The other problem with this design is that you have to snap the top in place, so the placement of the thermal pads will likely shift if you don't follow the install closely.
