This is a rescue

If you have a computer that uses this type of SSD and your computer crashes, you can save your files by removing the SSD and putting it in this case. I've found that this is the only interface that works with the 18-pin SATA interface that some SSDs use. My 2011 11" MacBook Air was using it and one of the lithium ion battery cells failed and swelled enough to destroy the computer. Luckily I was able to salvage the SSD and restore everything. In fact, I was even able to put the drive on another one Boot computer so I could keep working until I got another computer It's well made with good metal a case that looks and feels like a quality product And it's quite small - you can easily put it in your pocket or bag Stick it in your purse if you want to use it as a portable drive. And the performance seems ok. I didn't run any benchmarks but when using it as a boot drive it didn't feel uncomfortably slow. A good product to one good price and can save your data in the event of a catastrophic system hardware failure.

Pros

Cons
