Tool-Free design allows quick and easy installation, completely saving the trouble of screwing. 【NVMe Offline Clone】NVMe Cloner support operates 2 NVMe SSD offline cloning disk A to B without connecting a PC. Perfectly for users who want to replace a bigger M.2 SSD to get better performance, replace damaged disk and the old disk. LED indicator shows the clone status of the clone (Tips: It's a 1-1 clone of the whole disk and it will not recognize the data intelligently, please make sure the capacity of the Disk B ≥ Disk A and back up data on the disk B before cloning to avoid data lost). 【10Gbps Data Transmission】Adopting USB3.2 GEN 2 10Gbps protocol, backward compatible with USB3.2 Gen1/USB2.0. The read and write transmission speed up to 931.55MB/S and 897.50MB/S, transfer a 1TB NVMe SSD takes about 20mins. When Disk A&B read and write simultaneously, the read and write speed up to 586.38MB/S and 499.41MB/S. Support Trim and UASP acceleration, increase the transfer speed by 20%, which can help reduce the writing burden of the hard disk, CPU utilization, and data delay time. 【SSDs and System Compatibility】Plug and play and no driver required. Supports all sizes of M.2 NVMe SSDs (2242/2260/2280). The Max capacity supported is up to 8TB (2x4TB), suitable for your daily life requirement. Compatible with Windows/Mac/Linux systems.

Worth the money for the ease of use alone.

Perfectly tailored to my needs so far. It does get a little warm with long read/write cycles, but this is more of an SSD product, not a deal. Would buy again except what I have works better than expected. Installation was easy, I was able to externally clone my SSD for upgrade and now it works as a high-speed external.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Only available in black

Good case, on par

Speed tests run with CrystalDiskMark vs. other drive cases and interfaces, results attached. It depends on the Realtek chipset, but compared to the mainboard's M.2 interfaces or even the SATA SSD raids, they lag quite a bit behind. They are roughly on par with HD Raid 5 in sequential reads, but are otherwise significantly faster.

Pros
  • High support and durability ratings from testers
Cons
  • Minor issues

Durable NVME drive, lightweight and beautifully designed

This is a great NVMe enclosure. Less than 2 minutes to install a hard drive. Doesn't get very hot in normal use, but does get warm in high gears. The USB connector is solid and I will use it as an interface to move drives between computers.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Approximate

Good product - with a small caveat for SSDs 2230

The product is solid, well built, well packaged and well documented. It works exactly as described and doesn't feel too cheap. I bought it to use for a 2230 NVMe SSD (M+B key) that I needed to restore. Technically, this case is not designed for this, apart from an SSD. There is no clip to hold it in place. While it's not an official solution, if you put it in a case, the overall form factor will keep it in place *enough*, at least for file access and recovery. It would be nice to have a 2230…

Pros
  • 10Gbps data transfer
Cons
  • Boring hardware

Great for quick replacement

In my work, I regularly come across drives that need to be installed outdoors for various reasons. I've accumulated tons of external mount kits covering everything from SCSI to IDE, Sata and Msata, but I haven't added an external device for M.2 devices yet. Up to this point I've used some traditional external enclosures, but it required a lot of extra steps to properly install the drive. A few years ago this wasn't a huge problem, but now it's getting to the point where the vast majority of…

Pros
  • Tempering and heat dissipation
Cons
  • Modern

Convenient dual NVMe bay, but cloning speed is slow and gets very hot.

The Alxum Dual Bay NVMe Dock is very convenient to use with it to increase storage capacity or clone one NVMe SSD to another. The tool-free box includes USB Type-C, USB Type-A, and USB Type-C to USB Type-C cables. Also included are a 12V 2A power adapter, 2 aluminum heatsinks, and 2 thermal pads. In the Windows 10 speed test, the read speed reached 1025 MB/s and the write speed reached 998 MB/s. The Macbook Pro reached a read speed of 928 MB/s and a write speed of 860 MB/s. Transferring 90.2 GB

Pros
  • Portable External Enclosure
Cons
  • Annoying
