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 Mark Sutovsky

Well built, comfortable little thing! I've installed a 512GB (0.5TB) M.2 module here (22mm wide, 42mm long, the longest this case supports) as this is the "best place" for cost-wise is the size and type of SATA media. (Try some aggressively priced Chinese sites and get at least a three-year warranty on your media). There are 1TB (and even 2TB) 2242 media available, but they can be more than twice the price of 0.5TB media. So you can have 2 terabytes in this matchbox! The blue LED indicates activity, and while I'm not sure what the white LED indicates, it does flicker from time to time. Stable work, no interference, the volume is directly displayed on the desktop after plugged into the USB 3.0 A port. Performance is as fast as the media will allow (400 to 500 MB/s read/write), just make sure you plug it into a USB 3.0 or 3.1 port (not USB 2.0: it will work, but it is very slow). . Even under heavy use, the solid aluminum alloy dissipates heat well (although my media doesn't get that hot). With the supplied screwdriver and M.2 SATA media, assembly takes less than five minutes, after which you have a compact, reasonably fast external medium: Enjoy!
