Very good way to use your 'old/replaced' SSD

Great product that looks and works exactly as advertised. Beautiful aluminum body and 9.5 inch USB-C to USB 3.0 connector. It would have been nice to have a USB-C to USB-C adapter with me, but I have those, so no problem. SATA drive after removing it from a laptop. That worked great - removed 2 end screws, popped out the interface, put the old M.2 SATA SSD in, put the interface back into the housing, replaced the 2 screws, done - took about 5 minutes - last photo above. transferred some files and ran CrystalDisk tests and didn't notice it getting warm at all. 1. attached CrystalDisk score shows speed using USB 3, second score is my USB-C to USB-C usage and last score is speed when drive was in laptop. As you can see, the speed is pretty fast compared to the internal speed. Just make sure what type of M.2 "key" you have. The fourth picture shows 2 types of dongles - if you have both, they probably use a SATA connection and are limited to around 540Mbps. If there is only one M key, a PCIe connector is used, and the speed is much faster than SATA. On the computer, make sure the port/socket does NOT have a B key notch, and if it doesn't, you can use an M-Key (PCIe) SSD. They have .
