UGREEN M.2 NVMe Enclosure, USB 3.2 Gen 2 SSD Enclosure, Tool-Free 10Gbps NVMe External Caddy, Aluminum PCIe NVMe Adapter, NVMe to USB Adapter for M and M&B Key in 2230/2242/2260/2280 SSDs

This is a great bit of kit, at a good price.I bought it has I needed to increase the size of the boot drive, a M.2 NVMe SSD, in my PC. I used this device to connect to one of the PCs USB ports to transfer the original image of the disk using Samsung Magician. It worked a treat, when I installed the new SSD in the PC it booted up straight away with no issues.This device now contains the original SSD which I'm using for temporary/portable storage.I already owned a UGreen product, a USB Multifunction Adapter. I was so impressed with this product that when I needed a M.2 NVMe enclosure I looked no further than UGreen.

I own quite a few UGreen Items and have always thought of them as a Company who makes Well Built Quality Items and this Card Reader is no different

Upgraded the M.2 drive in my laptop and used this to clone the data onto the new drive.Now I have the old drive in the enclosure which I use as a removable storage drive.Very fast transfer speeds via USB C too

My motherboard only has one NVME slot and as I have just added a larger NVME stick I now have a 1TB NVME doing nothing so this enclosure is rather useful.Installation is simple, though it is not a tool-free installation as advertised on the store page as you do require a screwdriver (supplied). Simply unscrew the small screw on the enclosure and slide out the main section, then install your NVME stick and screw it into place. There is also a thermal pad to attach to the NVME stick which is supposed to assist with dissipating heat but I still noticed that the enclosure got quite warm under load.Using the supplied cable (with a USB-C to A adapter) I had quite disappointing transfer speeds (40MB/sec). I'm not sure if this was the adapter causing the issue or the cable itself. However, when I switched to another cable that did not need an adapter my file copy speeds increased to around 500MB/sec. I am fairly confidident the cable used is capable of faster speeds so I would suggest the speeds are not quite up to those advertised.Even though my transfer speeds are far below what the NVME can do I am still quite happy with it as it still provides SSD copy speeds which will be fast enough for my purposes.

great product for external mass storage, just needs decent M.2 SSD

It keeps disconnecting. And the temperatures are very high.

I am satisfied

Low cost Premium NvMe drive enclosure.Ordered to go with a NvMe SSD i have laying around this enclosure shows how good quality can be when the correct materials are used. having a plastic tray that the SSD attaches to and then covered in an aluminium anodized outer shell does make this on stand out and even morso when you consider this against other offerings at under £21.This really does feel solid in the hand, you are provided a screwdriver and a thermal gel pad should you wish to use for better thermal dissipation to the outer case, however do feel the pad is a bit of a gimmick as it wouldn't really make contact with the outer shell that is not flat. there is a micro LED on the port side to show it is powered up and accessing data. the very short lead as supplied comes with USB C only on each end, it would have been nice for there to have been an integrated USB a adapter for easier backwards compatibility.Have also tested this on an iPhone & iPad and connects perfectly.Transfer rate wise this was found to be very close will be used now for my iMac as a time capsule so will be very useful.Very easy way to expand storage and have a huge portable drive to hand, a 5 star product.
