Review on SIIG JU-SA0W11-S1 USB C NVMe SSD Portable Enclosure - 10Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 2 to NVMe SSD Adapter Enclosure - Support for Windows and Mac OS by Tom Beland

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good case with some small flaws

The case itself is aluminum with good workmanship but from that moment SIIG became cheap. The tip is made out of thin plastic, which makes it quite cumbersome to attach and not great for a $50 case. Also, you really need to tighten the nut on the end of the M2.2280 to line it up with the bolt hole. I'm talking about holding the NVME stick by the sides and pushing the edge hard on the glass table, but I managed without causing any damage. I prefer cases that have a nut. The activity light is ridiculously large (full page) and bright, so get your tape out. On the plus side, USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to USB-A cables are included, which feel nice. It also includes a small screwdriver which is handy. Since I basically got it for a temporary clone of a 2015 MBP, its performance satisfies my needs for now. The Blackmagic Disk Speed test showed a maximum write speed of 500MB/s and a read speed of 1750MB/s. This is a flash drive WD SN750, FWIW. It will soon be used for point-to-point transmission to USB-C enabled MBPs. In general, that's enough for my needs. If SIIG replaces the plastic with aluminum and moves the nut to the body, my rating will likely reach 5 stars.
