SABRENT M.2 NVMe Enclosure, Tool Free NVMe and SATA, 10Gbps External SSD Enclosure, Reusable Thermal Pad, Compatible with 2230 2242 2260 2280 (EC-SNVE)

Metal heatsink is functional, with a thermal pad included inside to wick heat from your M.2 SSD. The main body and latch mechanism is made from plastic but I've no concerns at all regarding quality. The plastic appears to be used in the right places for the price point without compromising functionality.20cm USB-C to USB-C cable is included (but no USB-A adapter, so just a heads up).Really simple but good design that allows for really easy opening and closing without tools. It's really convenient if you want to swap out the SSD (like I was looking for).This is capable of accepting multiple formats of M.2 ssd as well as multiple lengths. The SSD is secured with a plastic turn-tab, maintaining the toolless approach to this design

Great little enclosure. I used it to transfer my documents from my old pc ( nvme gen.3 ) to my new one (nvme gen.4 ) after I had installed the graphics card and blocked the spare nvme port. It comes with a usb-c cable so it was pretty quick. Good build quality and worked right out of the box.

It works as you would think, slot your nvme and interface using usb c . Simple plug and play. When I did a 400gb write to a 500gb drive I saw temps in excess of 70 degrees c. The drive didn't throttle but if you're going to use this consistently then it's not good for drive health long term. I added an additional NVMe thermal pad and temps maxed out in the mid to high 50s never hitting 60 in the same stress test. I feel the enclosure is solid and the nvme is held down securely. I've seen people complain that it is too hard to move the knob but they are underestimating the importance of fastening down the drive.

This enclosure is clean and made of quality materials. No screws are required to install or remove NVMe drives and all it requires is to push a little button on one end to open it. As a side note, DO NOT remove the "cover" on the heat pad inside the enclosure. It is conductive and removing the top cover will stop it from working. Source: I peeled it (facepalm). Thankfully, pressing it firmly back together seems to have fixed it.2 year warranty from Sabrent, and buying the enclosure gets you a free copy of Acronis True Image from the Sabrent website. Speed is fantastic for an external drive and it works perfectly with my laptop.

Really good and easy to use! Great value and keeps the hard drive safe inside its sturdy case. The whole device is tiny but adequate in size.

Amazing product. Worth every penny. Recommend!!!

As described. Works well and is quite fast using Samsung 990 Pro NVMe M.2 SSD's. Installing the SSD is fairly easy except for the final locking down of the board. Needs a little bit of persuasion. Otherwise works well.

After testing several so-called “universal” M.2 enclosures, this is the first one that actually delivers. The Sabrent Tool-Free M.2 NVMe/SATA Enclosure supports both NVMe and SATA M.2 SSDs (M-Key and B+M Key), and in my case, it worked flawlessly with a 1TB NVMe and a 256GB SATA drive — truly plug and play, no firmware updates, no USB setting tweaks, no hassle.The build quality is outstanding. It's made from solid, thick aluminum, giving it a premium feel and excellent heat dissipation. The tool-free, hinged design makes drive installation incredibly fast — it literally takes seconds to swap drives. This is especially useful if you regularly clone or rotate SSDs.The included USB-C to USB-C cable is high quality, and long enough for desk use, though I wouldn’t mind a bit more length. One small gripe: I wish they had included a USB-C to USB-A adapter or a second cable. Not every system has native USB-C, and an adapter would make this even more versatile out of the box.Performance-wise, it lives up to the 10Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 standard. Both SSDs I tested reached their expected speeds without thermal throttling, thanks to the aluminum housing acting as a heat sink.In summary: This is a fantastic, well-designed enclosure with true dual-protocol support, excellent thermal performance, and reliable USB connectivity. If you're looking for a versatile external SSD enclosure that just works, this is it.Highly recommended.
