GRAUGEAR M.2 NVMe SATA PCIe SSD Enclosure Adapter Docking Station with Cooling Fan, USB3.2 Gen2 10Gbps M.2 SSD External Case USB C, Support UASP and Trim, M2 NVMe NGFF M Key B+M Key, RTL9210B Chipset

I picked up the GRAUGEAR M.2 SSD enclosure because I needed a simple way to convert my internal M.2 drives into fast external storage. Setup literally took three minutes: slide the SSD into the bracket, plug it in, and you’re ready to go. It supports both NVMe and SATA drives up to 8TB, and works with M‑Key or B+M Key in formats ranging from 2230 up through 22110 What I really love is the cooling design. The aluminum body has great passive heat dissipation, and the small fan kicks on automatically to push out heat while the drive is under load. I’ve noticed that under major file copies, my SSD temperature stays much lower than it did inside my laptop Performance has been excellent. This enclosure uses USB 3.2 Gen 2, giving up to 10 Gbps (about 1,000 MB/s) transfer speeds—and with UASP and TRIM support, it keeps performance smooth and drives healthy over time. Note that they do offer one that exceeds this speed if needed! It also earned compliments on its look. People on Amazon describe the clear vertical mount and glowing LED as “cyberpunk” or “matrix-style.” It definitely stands out from boring brick enclosures Still, it’s not perfect. A handful of reviews point out build quality quirks—like the plastic chimney not locking tightly or the top fitting loosely. Some folks also mention that the on/off button is oddly placed near the USB port, which can confuse PS5 rest mode behavior (some PS5 users reported drives crashing if the console enters rest mode with the enclosure powered on) All considered, here's how I feel: Easy to install and swap SSDs without tools Solid, quiet cooling keeps temperatures down under heavy load Reliable USB 3.2 Gen 2 performance with UASP/TRIM support Sleek, futuristic design that stands out Be cautious if you’ll use it with a PS5 or plan frequent swaps—some people found it a bit fragile I’ve been using mine for weekly backups and content creation transfers, and even after cloning over a terabyte regularly, I haven’t run into thermal throttling or overheating issues. The drive stayed under 52°C even during long transfers All in all, this enclosure has been a smart value buy. It blends good cooling, easy installation, and solid speeds in a package that’s more stylish than most. If you want an external home for your M.2 SSDs that just works and looks cool doing it, this one’s worth checking out.

After trying two AMZ Pilot Docking Station SSDs that couldn't even mount the drives reliably, I decided to spend $20 more and try this. After all 2 separate trips to Amazon GO to return plus all the hassle was worth $20. This unit has several key necessary things I never realized I needed until trying the AMZ units. 1) The M.2 connector has to be good quality and it must effectively support the drive physically. Any issues with the connector means massive reliability issues. Since the SSD sits vertical and isnt supported, it tends to tip. It literally falls out under its own weight if moved. Bump the table, drive disconnects. Temperature changes, drive disconnects. 2) Small fan, like it or not, really keeps the drive cool. My Samsung unit never exceeded 35C after 100% sustained benchmark running for an hour without any heatsink. Even the smallest amount of direct airflow really seems to make a difference. Pros: 1) The unit comes with plastic retaining tabs that support the SSD in the vertical position so it doesn't move. I dont know how many repeated insertions/removals before it weakens, but it seems okay for the few dozen times I will likely change drives. I just cant afford that many SSDs. 2) All my drives, WD Black SN850X, Samsung 980 Pro and TeamGroup SATA 3 ran around 450 MB/s using USB 3.2 Gen 2 port. Very respectable, but about 10x slower than direct attaching via PCIE 4.0 slot. I wish it would run faster but I think this is the reality of USB. I cant say for sure. Its great for backing up, restoring or simply testing an SSD but i wouldnt run it like this permanently unless you are out of PCIE slots. 3) Drives run cool. I know they provide a heatsink but i wanted to push the docking station to test robustness. 4) I have had ZERO disconnects, ZERO thermal throttling. Cons: 1) You cannot flash update using this controller. Both WD and Samsung wont allow it. All i can guess is that this was not an expected use case and no one wrote code to support it. You can run WD dashboard but it reports "other drive" 2) Need Aura sync lighting option. Spent all this money on a gorgeous setup and the unit only has a simple non-intrusive blue power LED. Maybe a special edition version some day. Now I'm hoping now they decide to release a dual slot SSD so I can clone without having to rip open my case.

Overall I like this unit but a couple of improvements could be made, the cord is stiff and short which caused my drive to be dumped out on to a hard surface. The clear cylinder is firm in one position but doesn't have a locking mechanism that I could find. This means if unit tips the drive can easily be knocked free along with the weight of the cylinder. Initially my unit also did not power on but after I swapped cables it came up. The rubberband attachment of silicone heat sink is a great idea and means this will work for many different drives. Transfers from a USB 3.2 port were acceptable but not as fast as I would expect. I got 390MBs from Samsung NVME in Gen4 port to this external drive. Internally I can clock much faster speeds. My board says its rated for full USB 3.2 speed so I expected more but this acceptable for system backups to external NVME drive. Recomend using a longer and less stiff USB C cable and securing the cylinder.

放熱性も凄くよくてインテリアのように見た目もいい、まあデスク周りが整頓された人にはおすすめ

I got a few spare SSD as M key and B+M key, like 128GB and 256GB; these aren't worth selling to others. I found this gadget from a product review, so I tried it. It works with both M key and B+M key M.2 SSDs. Lightweight, good-looking and super easy to use. No tools or screws are required. I love the blue light from the bottom and the cooling fan also. One unusual thing is that you have to press the power manually after rebooting; I think that might be some protection mechanism. If you have some spare old SSD, it's worth trying it.

Produto de ótima qualidade.

Great product. Slow as hell picking and shipping.

Muy practico para conectar tus ssd m2 no se desconecte y mantiene fresco los discos sólidos y con su iluminación se ve excelente.
