    • These are great and worth the cost
Color: TUF Gaming A1
First things first, yes these are not cheap but you get what you pay for. I have a Sabrent enclosure but it kept disconnecting from my device for no good reason. I needed something that wouldn’t disconnect and after much research came across the Asus enclosures and checked out multiple reviews, videos, etc. I purchased the Rog Strion first, then Tuf. Rog: I purchased this specifically because it had the C to A cable as well (the good vendors dont just sell them and there’s a bunch of junk that won’t do data properly). It is nice and fairly light for the material. The installation went smoothly (after I paid attention to how the top comes off and goes back). The lights are cool but my use case has it out of the way. The speed is great and no strange disconnects. I do have cooling fans in my little set up (multiple devices) so I can’t speak to it getting hot. Hopefully this will last forever. Tuf: I needed C to A for my first use (why I got Rog), but really wanted this. When it came on sale (along with the Crucial storage) I grabbed it for portable storage. This thing is heavy duty. Solid aluminum throughout. Installation was a breeze. Only time will tell, but from what I’ve seen this should keep working forever. I don’t plan on beating the crap out them so I may switch them around. Depends on how much I wanna see pretty lights. ... show more

    • Being able to swap out SSDs on the go is great
Color: ROG STRIX Arion
Yes, it's kinda pointlessly "GAMER" looking and we don't really need to have RGB glowing away on a drive enclosure. But it looks really cool and works just fine. I like how weighty it feels, the bumper case it came with is nice, and I appreciate that it had both the C to A cable and C to C cable. The plastic stylized "R" clip on the bumper case looks and feels super flimsy though. I only use it to hold onto the cables when traveling. It definitely should not be trusted to clip the drive to anything. I know the idea is to use a SIM Card Slot Pin to pop the enclosure open, but a paperclip works just fine too. It's really nice to get the speed of NVMe SSDs interchangeably and on the go. Plus these M.2 drives are getting cheaper as time goes on. I have one SSD I use for backing up my computer, then I can swap the M.2 out for another one I use for video editing, then swap to another I use for some file transfers. It's very easy to just stick an SSD in there, and use Disk Management (on Windows) or Disk Utility (on OS X) to initialize a new drive or wipe an old one. Modern tools like these will have recommended settings ready to go. Theoretically, one could also create a separate boot drive on an M.2 and boot off of this external drive too. So you could make a separate OS boot, stick some games on it, and then just run it on a completely different computer without much problem. It does heat up a little bit when in heavy use, I think the entire enclosure is meant to function as a sort of heat sink since it does have a thermal pad that contacts the drive. It's not so hot that I can't handle it barehanded though. Overall, I'd call it a very useful device. ... show more

    • Beautiful, well designed totally plug and play enclosure - blazing fast speeds on external device
Color: ROG STRIX Arion
I bought this ASUS ROG STRIX Arion external SSD enclosure primarily so I could clone my Samsung 970 EVO Pro PCIe SSD onto a new drive in case I had a system SSD failure. Who want to have to reinstall everything again and start over on settings, etc. Not me. And I was looking for something that would be glitch free and something Windows would recognize as well as cloning software so I could do a reliable clone. And also something I could use to execute and play games. And this is the product in my opinion. It is not a flimsy product. Very well made with ample aluminum case and thermal pads to VERY EFFECTIVELY dissipate heat, which is a real concern with these SSD enclosures. After hours of use it is just warm to the touch. I was quite impressed and surprised. It comes with a A to C and C to C USB cable and everything you need other than a screwdriver to install you SSD disk. Just be sure to use the SSD install screw properly so the enclosure lid closes - place the SSD in between the grooves on the screw and tighten. I have an ASUS ROG STRIX Hero XI motherboard, and this enclosure uses the same lighting scheme I'm using on my system. And BTW, this enclosure is pretty cool to look at - shiny black surface with the RGB lighting very pleasing to the eye. All I did was install the SSD, plug the enclosure into a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port (it is backward compatible also) and I was off and running. And I mean Running - with the 3.2 connection you get blinding fast speeds. I cloned, which takes longer than simple copying, a 115GB system Windows drive in under 7 minutes. One caveat that I was aware of before buying the enclosure you need to keep in mind if you intend to use this to clone your system disk. Windows WILL NOT recognize the SSD brand (Samsung, etc) as a branded product - i.e. Samsung 980 Pro, etc. It will only recognize the enclosure but will know it is an SSD with 512GB, etc. Just not the brand. Which means Samsung or any OEM cloning software WILL NOT work to clone your system disk. However, products such as Acronis True Image 2021, which I used will and will accurately clone the drive. This is not a limitation with this enclosure - it's a windows USB thing. I highly recommend this product. ... show more

    • Expensive enclosure but super sturdy and well made
Color: TUF Gaming A1
I needed a good drive enclosure for a 2TB Samsung 980 pro I gifted my younger sister to back up the photos on her iPhone that ran out of storage. I would normally get the cheapest nvme enclosures I can get my hands on but this time I wanted something water resistant and sturdier and by god this A1 enclosure is a lot nicer than the cheaper ones I've used from ssk and orico. Its got a lot of heft to it, the hex screws are easy to tighten with the included allen wrench, and it has the easiest mechanism Ive ever used to install the drive into the enclosure, its just a plastic latch that rotates to lock the drive into place. Its so simple yet well thought out design overall. The only con is its really expensive, coming in at $55 after tax for me. For just $20 more you could get a thunderbolt enclosure with 4x the performance of this, but most of those wont be as sturdy as this I reckon. I would definitely recomend this if you need a quality enclosure thats water and drop tested. ... show more
