SSK Aluminum USB 3.1 M.2 NGFF SSD Enclosure: SATA Solid State Drive Reader & Adapter with UASP, Support NGFF M.2 2280 2260 2242 SSD (Key B/Key B+M, SATA Based) Review

Poor production. Probably never checked. The SSD didn't fit. It took me 30 minutes to easily insert it into the slot. The slot looks like it's not of the right dimensions, with a very small defect on the right side. When connected it doesn't read on any of my devices and when I go to manager it gives a fatal hardware error and doesn't even allow me to select a disk for further actions. I suspect this is a manufacturing issue and unfortunately I received a bad one. It's worth noting that I'm an…

UPDATE: SSK contacted me and confirmed that there was something wrong with my device. They sent me a replacement with a delivery time of 2 days and I just tested it and it works great. Getting SSD speed through Type-C interface in both directions. +1 for assistance when I didn't even ask for it lol. ************************ Original Rating ************************ ** So I'm not sure what's going on with this device, but the USB-C connection on its front end doesn't seem to be standard. 1/10…

. I found that I only had to bend the unused plastic tabs enough that they no longer touched the circuit board (apparently multiple tabs are used for different size circuit boards). When I saw the internal connector, I also thought that an M.2 connector would not fit. It was a little tricky to insert the M.2 connector, but I pushed the end of the board very firmly and it seated fully in the connector (recommended not to accidentally dislodge). I have several 2.5" SSDs in external enclosures…

The case works great, it takes less than 5 minutes to install a SATA M.2 drive. If you follow the instructions, you'll need to pry the unused plastic tabs out of the way. Make sure you need a SATA enclosure as it won't work for NVME. Unfortunately, the included USB-C cable doesn't work very well. The cable enters the connector freely. It doesn't provide constant power to a power-hungry drive, and then slowly spontaneously migrates out of the drive's USB-C port. This is all easily fixed by…

Yesterday morning our laptop died in a puff of smoke. I opened it up and saw a charred spot on the motherboard. It's time to replace the entire laptop anyway. So I pulled out a SATA M.2 drive (not NVME) hoping I could recover a lot of files and pictures on the drive. Much of this is already reserved, but not the latest changes. I ordered this suitcase and somehow it came to me 24 hours after ordering. I was able to fit the drive into the case in about 1 minute. The drive comes with a magnetic…

I needed to transfer data from my dead laptop's hard drive to another computer (laptop with Windows 8.1 Pro, new computer with Windows 10 Pro). It was an inexpensive solution. After the data transfer I formatted the laptop drive and now I have a nice 128GB portable drive. The quality seems good to me. Installing the drive was easy. There are a number of plastic latches that hold drives of different lengths in place. Latches for shorter drives will interfere with installing longer drives. I tore

I've bought several of these cases to use NVME and SATA M2 SSDs. I actually trimmed some cases to use smaller 2230 SSDs which I think would be a great alternative to flash drives. Advantages: 1. Made of aluminum. Well done.2. Fairly compact; not much bigger than a bare SSD 2280 M2.2. A little fiddling with installing and removing SSD3. Activity Monitor.4. Compatible with multiple SSDs of different sizes. Disadvantages: 1. Actually none. This is not compatible with NVME SSDs. There is another…

Caveat - as you'll see in the review below I couldn't get this to work with my hard drive due to my own error but I'll check assuming it works. I bought this to recover data on my hard drive when my laptop suddenly got bitten by dust. Unfortunately I have an NVMe disk and it didn't work with this case. That was my fault. The description says it doesn't work with NVMe drives, only SATA, but I just looked at the pictures of the slot you put the drive in - my drive looked like the pictures and I…
