    • Heavy-Duty SSD Enclosure
Style: ROG Arion|up to 10Gbps
This is one sturdy, heavy-duty NVMe SSD external metal enclosure! It even comes with a wraparound bumper for good measure. And thus far, it's easy to use, works well with my Windows 11 computer, and its USB-C transfer speeds are great.

The media could not be loaded. This thing is awesome. I had an extra 1TB m.2 drive after I swapped to a 4TB in my ally X. Decided to get an enclosure for it. I have to say ASUS just makes amazing looking products. This is by far the best looking enclosure on the market. It’s aluminum and sturdy. The details they put into this thing are cool the rgb lights the logo on the ends of the cables the R clip and soft bumper for the enclosure. The box it came in even just says I’m a good product. Easy to install the drive and good protection. Small form factor easy to store away not to heavy but feels good in your hand. Read and write speeds were good for usb connection. Highly recommend. ... show more

    • Love it! High quality
Style: ROG Arion|up to 10Gbps
I purchased this case for my SSD, because a previous purchase of a different brands case failed to work properly with PlayStation. I was going to purchase this Asus Rog Strix case before I bought the off brand, but was lured in by the claims of 40gbps speeds. Lesson learned now! The Asus case is top quality with a small footprint, comes with premium charging cords, nice thermal pads, and clip to secure it to a backpack or whatever you want. Has nice color changing lights if that’s your thing(Aura sync).It was plug and play. The only thing I didn’t care for was the pin key to unlock the cover. It’s tiny, and can easily be lost or misplaced. Overall this is the best SSD portable case I’ve owned out of the three others I have. ... show more

    • Phenomenal SSD enclosure!
Style: ROG Arion|up to 10Gbps
Review Image by Bruce Bruce
I've never dealt with SSD enclosures before. I was looking to add storage space but didn't feel like opening devices. I have to say, after using it for a little while, purchasing the ASUS ROG STRIX Arion was a great decision. Setup for the ASUS ROG STRIX Arion was rather easy...for the most part. It came with everything needed. Didn't even require the M2 screw to be removed. The device includes a heatsink, which, at first I was a little wary about. I struggled to get the device to lock closed. I've looked over the instructions a million times to see if I'm missing something, if I am, it wasn't written clearly. While I can close the device, it doesn't quite lock back shut. With everything installed, I connected it to my computer. With the tests I ran, the speeds come pretty close to the 10 Gb speed promised by the ASUS ROG STRIX Arion. Close enough to not complain. 10 Gbps (gigabits, not gigabytes) equals around 1250 Megabytes, my tests came back with speeds of around 1000. For me, that's close enough considering this storage was added via USB. A lot of other USB devices that have promised similar speeds have come up short, and while I could install the Samsung 990 in my computer to get the speeds up to its max capacity, with the ASUS ROG STRIX Arion, this internal SSD becomes a USB storage device that can be used with anything I choose, which is a major win. The RGB lighting is a nice little addition, but what has really impressed me is the way the device maintains a cool temperature even while in use. I have no fear of the storage failing due to overheating while using the ASUS ROG STRIX Arion. For those looking to add some extra storage, the ASUS ROG STRIX Arion is a wise choice for turning internal storage into external USB storage. While it is a bit pricier than some of its competition, I'd say its ability to keep a decent temp while in use makes it worth it. I'm willing to wager I made some error in attempting to relock the device, hopefully, you don't run into the same issue. ... show more

    • You can edit 4k videos off this thing although the RBG lights are annoying
Style: ROG Arion|White|up to 10Gbps
I got the base model of the Mac Mini M4 and needed more space (buying more space from them costs SOOO much), and needed to get a fast enclosure to pair with my Crucial P3 4TB that is 5000mb/s SSD. I just have to say this has been working perfectly. I create Youtube videos and have been editing with Davinci Resolve right off the SSD and have had zero problems. I also have some LLMs locally and keep the model files on the drive and haven't had any problems there either. On some occasions when I am doing heavy work off the SSD, it does get a bit warm to the touch, but not hot. The enclosure itself is metal, very nicely constructed, has a good heft to it and it was easy enough to install the SSD into the enclosure. I also appreciate that they have a white color option for it, as a lot of my gear is white. My only complaint is that it does light up with rotating pastel colors and I don't think you can turn it off. It's annoying, but I guess it helps light up the way on the bathroom in the middle of the night. ... show more

This thing is awesome - very sturdy, very well built. It is a bit on the larger/heavier side, but that's a small tradeoff in my opinion for the style and ruggedness. Love it!!
