  • Great quality
Style: ROG Arion Size: Black|up to 10Gbps
Easy to install and use, looks sturdy and durable, only have been using it for a month though, but so far works perfectly, no overheating or anything. Love the design and the RGB lighting.

  • These are great and worth the cost
Style: TUF Gaming Size: A1|up to 10Gbps
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

  • When your hard drive needs body armor.....
Style: TUF Gaming Size: A1|up to 10Gbps
Is it over the top? Yes. Can you find cheaper alternatives? Yes. But does it kick ass? Also yes. It's a tad over the top for protection but it's a nice neat little nvme enclosure, it's fast, and ridiculously durable. Needed, no. But it's a neat little upgrade, easy, can fit any NVME drive, small, and built like a tank. Solid recommend. ... show more

  • Really awesome NVMe external drive... Terribly small screws though... Not for arthritic hands!
Style: TUF Gaming Size: A2|up to 20Gbps
Pretty heavy duty piece of gear. If you want an NVMe drive case with a metallic shell, lots of space, durable, but put together eith painfully tiny Allen screws, then this is the device for you. I threw in one if my 1Tb 990 Pro's into it, drenched it shut and tossed it behind my PC on one of my open C drives. Runs beautifully, but those little screws... I'm sure they couldve fixed it with a specialty wing nut that folds, I think that would've been better. ... show more
