Review on πŸ’§ Sabrent EC-WPTF USB 3.2 IP67 Water Resistant Tool-Free Enclosure for M.2 PCIe NVMe and M.2 SATA SSDs with Enhanced SEO by Larkeese Casiano

Revainrating 4 out of 5

High quality high speed protection

This SSD enclosure looks fantastic and is reliable for the price it should be. If you're not sure if the connector fits your SSD, look for pictures of M.2 connectors. The operating instructions are written in clear and understandable language. Opening the back reveals the SSD slot which has several notches for a rubber stop to secure your 2242, 2260 or 2280 NVMe SSD. Installing an SSD is a fairly simple process, the Samsung MZ-VLW512A fits in easily. The case is IP67 rated, meaning it's protected from both dust and recent water immersion, and I can believe it's an SSD. The compartment door pivots and closes like a jet or submarine hatch. USB-C port open without rubber door. This shouldn't be a problem as long as the power supply is not connected. I don't know if there is internal circuitry to protect the SSD in case the enclosure and the device powering it are submerged. It's best to let it dry before attempting to plug it in. There was a minor hiccup when I first plugged it in - my PC's front USB 3 ports (which successfully hit 100+ MB/s with external hard drives) only output USB 2 at 38 Mbit/s. Switching to the rear USB ports allowed files to be transferred at the expected speed. By copying a single 126GB file into the Sabrent case, I was able to get a consistent speed of 300MB/s with a slight slowdown at the very end. Immediately copying the same file from the Sabrent case back to my computer, the initial speed of 300MB/s dropped to 150MB/s after about 1 minute and stabilized at that level. Perhaps this is a limitation of the SSD, not the case. The case surface near the Type-C port got hot up to 100F, but it wasn't the most ventilated and coolest part of my desk. All in all, this is a durable case that lets you carry your M.2 SSD on the go, read at high speeds on supported devices, and protect your data.
