Review on Portable M.2 NGFF SATA SSD to USB 3.0 External Reader Converter Adapter Enclosure with UASP - Key B/Key B+M (M.2 SATA SSD to USB 3.0 Black) by Darnell Murphy

Best of 3 Cases I've Tried!

So I tried two other cases before settling on this one. The problem with the other two was that they appeared to be grounded in their metal case and then weren't recognized by either the computer or the phone. This one has never given me any problems and seems to be a very solid case. I'm using a Sandisk m.2 SATA 128GB SSD and it works perfectly without a single hiccup. Once you have it plugged into your computer, go into the drive settings to format the drive to whatever format you prefer (exfat in my case), name it (if you want) and you're done! I bought it because I don't have internet at home and rely solely on my phone's unlimited data plan. Since my phone's service provider heavily capped data after using 15GB of mobile hotspot data (up to 600KB/s), I downloaded everything directly to my phone instead, a Type-C to USB hub or a Adapter with USB 3.0 uses Flash Drive. I attached the files and then copied them from the flash drive to my computer. The problem is that flash drives have now become the new bottleneck. When transferring 30GB of files, videos, music, etc. to a fairly decent flash drive, it still seemed like the transfer would take forever. Uses the Galaxy S8+. After running a few tests on Crystaldisk I was very pleased that I got all the correct read/write speeds advertised by the M.2 SSD manufacturer and now taking a lot less time! *Edit* 9-13- 18 The case now had a bad connection to the USB C port. If you plug the drive into a computer and barely touch it, it will disconnect. Sometimes it just connects and disconnects on its own.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
