UGREEN M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure, USB 3.2 Gen 2 10Gbps NVMe Enclosure, Aluminum Tool-free Hard Drive Enclosure Support UASP & TRIM for M and M&B Key in 2230/2242/2260/2280 SSDs

Excellent product fitted my memory great, easy to follow instructions (I did look online first), and has really been an excellent enclosure for my SSD. I've not used it that much yet, not needed to. But it's there for when I do, hopefully not long now.

Works exactly as it should, I've got a crucial m.2 out of a faulty donor laptop and was able to still access all the files as required for a friend. It's got a quick release design meaning it's screwless and is extremely sturdy. It's easy to setup and get going and the rubber casing and the metal outer shell protects it from minor drops and impacts. Cable length could be longer bit is adequate.

Got the item today, and it is my first USB to M.2 adaptor so nothing to compare it to. I unpacked the product and examined what was provided, the device itself, which is a plastic shell inside another outer shell that absorber material on it to soften any impact from a fall or some other type of force. Two documents with tiny text and images, one of them instructions. Short USB type C to type C cable. Thermal pad. The instructions are reasonably clear except that there is no mention of the thermal pad. I examined the case, and the thermal probably should go on top of the M.2, not underneath, however when examining inside the outer shell, the pad would clearly be making contact with nothing at all. I felt it a bit pointless so didnt install it, and is perhaps why its not mentioned in the documentation as I expect it wasnt originally incorporated into the design, at best the pad will be a weak heat spreader considering it wont make contact with the outer shell. If like me you might be swapping drives in and out the case, using a pad adds needless complexity as well. It is tool less which is nice, working on tiny M.2 screws is horrible, although the little plastic holder is fiddly in itself, took me a few mins to get it in. If that gets lost, the problem is then that it is propriety to the product, so take great care with it. I slid the inner part back in to the outer shell but had to check the manual for correct orientation, it doesnt just go in any way. But once pushed in correctly its easy, and clicks in place. Attached the USB cable and everything is working when using it with my laptop. Performance is very respectable. 1000MB sequential (laptop itself only has 2 PCIE lanes, so its not that far off the 1600 on internal M.2). Random 4k performance is very similar to if installed internally. The power LED is at the end and could be covered by the outer protective rubber, I would have preferred it in a more visible location. It does flash on activity. I have a room temp of 27C whilst testing this, bit of a heatwave in my part of the country, internal M.2 is 31C, and this one is 35C, so its not particularly hot and cooler than M.2 in my desktop which are approaching 50C. Just be aware the cable that comes with this unit is to fit USB type C devices, you could probably still buy a USB C to A cable, but if thats what you going to do, there is an alternative adaptor that comes with C to A instead. This isnt clearly labelled on the product page, but eyeballing the product picture indicates the difference between the two products. An earlier review says both cables are provided with this product, but my unit was just C to C cable, although the bag the cable came in looked designed for two cables. If you not sure which to buy, buy the product that comes with type A cable, as type A is still a far more common port on hardware, as an example I have a modern desktop PC and that only has a single type C port, but more than 8 type A ports, my laptop has two of each, but the type A ports are more accessible, and one of the type C is used by the charger.

I was in urgent need of an affordable enclosure to back up data from my M.2 drive to an HDD after suspecting a drive failure (Windows wouldn’t even boot). This device turned out to be exactly what I needed and made the recovery process smooth and hassle free. As it turns out, the M.2 drive was completely fine, the actual problem was with my laptop. Regardless though, having the means to safely access and back up my data was crucial and gave me real peace of mind. The build quality is excellent. It features a solid metal shell with a soft shock absorbing rubber sleeve that offers great protection against drops and knocks. Even the internal plastic holder that secures the M.2 drive feels durable and well designed. Now that the backup’s complete, I’m planning to repurpose it with another M.2 drive for quick and portable file transfers on the go. Highly recommended!

Used to test a spare SSD drive without having to remove an installed one from my PC Worked well with a crucial T500 SSD (2280 size) inserted when plugged into a standard 5 or 10GBPS motherboard USB-C port Very easy to install and use. A handy rubber peg holds the SSD in place while you close the lid on it so no tiny screw or screwdriver needed Connected to the PC, No power, driver etc warning messages were seen, and no driver installation was needed on an Intel based Windows 11PC. The new/blank drive I was testing appeared in disk manager and formatted without a problem. All very good Very Reasonable read /write speeds were achieved and the device/drive was recognised quickly when plugged into the PC The only thing I couldn’t do (and this limitation seems typical of USB connected drives I’ve owned) was a drive firmware update as the updater software couldn’t find the (external) drive. Overall a very useful device if you use M2 SSD drives

Super fast transfer, I was shocked to see this transfer speed. Note- under device manager if u go to disk drives and select ur external name ssd (for higher write and read speeds u can enable write caching but this will increase heat) , for me I chose quick removal the read speed was 900 MB/sec average but it can go 1000+ if u enable write caching. Temps are perfect under my setting and I am using a 1tb nvme. If u have faster nvme and higher storage nvme , this enclosure can cause overheating so be careful when u purchase. For my 1tb nvme this enclosure is perfect. Cable length is not too long nor too short it was optimal length, weight was light , ease of use is more like permanent- not easy to swap multiple nvme ssd and this can damage the slot( make sure it’s permanent ) ALSO PLEASE REMOVE THE PLASTIC , there are two plastic when u apply thermal pad this is very important

La carcasa UGREEN M.2 NVMe es una excelente opción para aprovechar discos SSD como almacenamiento externo. Ofrece velocidades de transferencia muy rápidas gracias a USB 3.2 y UASP, y su diseño de aluminio ayuda a disipar el calor. Fácil de montar y con buena calidad de construcción. Perfecta para quienes necesitan velocidad y portabilidad. ¡Muy recomendable!

Excellent Enclosure. Not tool setup and keeps the SSD cool.

Fait son travail, très facile de mettre le SSD à l'intérieur

I am using this enclosure. I am using a Samsung 960 EVO NVME I am connected to a USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C / Intel Thunderbolt 3 I am booting off this drive, using it with Windows to go. This was exactly the performance I was hoping for an it is lightening fast. Its hard to believe that a USB device can now be faster then a regular SSD. It does get a bit hot under heavy load, but using it to browse the internet or watch videos its only a bit warm. Hot when transferring large files. If you have the right hardware (usb port) for this I highly recommend it.
