    • Excellent quality enclosure
Color: SPACE GREY
Excellent quality enclosure, obviously built to very high standards, requires no tools at all which is excellent, I did have ti stare at the top lid a few seconds to be able to lift it off (its quite tight so you really have to pull on the end furthest away from the USB-C connector but once you lift to off to seems quite obvious). So I really like this enclosure, it's the nicest enclosure that I have ever purchased. It really is a no-tools enclosure, once I realized how to pull the top off from the end I was able to open it, slip in the SSD, close the SSD, plug it into my computer and begin my backups in 20 seconds, yes its that easy. The backups ran super fast, the built in fan kept the SSD running at top speed (modern SSDs all run very hot go get that high speed performance, having this all aluminum enclosure with the built in fan keeps he temperature down so its only warm which means consistent, reliable super high speed.) Highly recommended for its very high quality, easy to open/close with no tools, cool operations and super high performance. ... show more

    • Fast, Tool-Free, and Exactly What I Needed
Color: CHARCOAL
I purchased this enclosure to repurpose an NVMe SSD as portable storage, and it couldn't have been easier to set up. The tool-free design is a huge advantage—just open the case, insert the drive, lock it in place, and you're ready to go in less than a minute. The aluminum enclosure feels solid and well made, and I like that it helps dissipate heat during larger file transfers. The connection has been reliable, and transfer speeds are noticeably faster than a traditional USB flash drive, making it perfect for backing up files, transferring large projects, or cloning a drive. Another thing I appreciate is how compact and lightweight it is. It slips easily into a laptop bag, so I can carry a high-capacity SSD with me without taking up much space. Everything worked as plug-and-play with no drivers or extra software required. For the price, this enclosure offers excellent quality and performance. If you have a spare NVMe SSD or need a fast external storage solution, this is an easy recommendation. It's well designed, simple to use, and performs exactly as advertised. ... show more

Most products have clearly recognized brand names, making the buying decisions a bit easier between the usually more expensive brands and the cheaper no-names. The buyer’s best advice is usually you get what you pay for. Although not a household name, Sabrent is generally regarded as on of the most trusted brands of this kind of SSD enclosure. So when I needed one this week, but only for one task to clone my computer’s internal drive, I looked for this brand expecting to pay a premium price. I was pleasantly surprised to find this model down in the same price range as some of the ones with the really low ratings. What was I giving up over the Sabrent I bought last year for sixty bucks? WHAT’S THE CATCH If you put them side by side the difference is night and day. The premium model is much heavier, made of almost 100% aircraft grade aluminum while this model is part aluminum and part PVC plastic. But I also put this side by side with a really bad one that I didn’t even want to touch again, mainly because it was literally too hot to hold - imagine what it was doing to the expensive SSD inside. By comparison this one is much cooler, okay not as cool as the one that cost three times as much but at least it’s not going to set off any smoke alarms. Let’s face it, the two really important things are how cool it keeps the drive that it encloses and how fast the electronics inside let it communicate with your computer. A side benefit is being reasonably priced and it doesn’t hurt that it looks good. TOOL FREE if you’re going to put your SSD in an enclosure and never touch it again you can ignore this section. But if you have any intent of swapping the chip out a couple of times or more tool free can be a big issue. Why aren’t they all that way? There’s actually a good reason, if this enclosure is intended to safeguard your data drive through travel, exposure to the elements, prying hands, etc. having one that seals solidly shut is a good thing. This one is a prime example of superb design and simplicity. I only had to push one button to pop it open, slide the SSD into place and swivel a little plastic locking mechanism, no screws are needed. Then snap the lid shut and it’s ready to go. THE MISSING PIECE I have read the one star reviews that won’t accept this product because it doesn’t include the tiny set-screw. I’m not sure how to even react to that. Know this - it’s not needed, there is no place to use it. If you are using one of the shorter variants of SSD there is a small plastic plug to hold it in place, otherwise that’s what the full contact cover is designed to do. YES OR NO Data protection is no trivial matter. That’s not to say that this enclosure will protect the data on the drive it houses but it does play a part in the equation. This one works as it should and I couldn’t even imagine trying to save a couple of bucks to go with a no-name one like I did last time and nearly fried my drive. This is a winner. ... show more

    • Feels solid, well made and no setup required.
Color: CHARCOAL
Pretty nice component. Had an extra 512gb nvme card from a swap and this works great as a scratch disc for adding photos to a photo frame. Install was straightforward, it includes a heat transfer pad (and extra one) and the finned all aluminum case is well made and feels solid. The outer area does warm up, but that’s exactly the purpose of the heat transfer process to air. It’s just warm to the touch. It comes with a C-C cable but I used an A-C as my desktop doesn’t have C ports and it works fine but a little slower transferring than the laptop with a C port and the included cable. It’s a non issue when just swapping photos back and forth. ... show more

    • Awesome enclosure at USB4 speeds with the right drive.
Color: SPACE GREY
I like Sabrent products and the USB4 enclosure is great but little things but me. The m.2 drive hold down/mount is not user friendly. I wish they could have used some of their previous models mounts or just a screw. Also, getting the top off was a little confusing and I had to make sure I only tried to pry up one side. Once it's put together with a drive, it performs amazing. I have used 2 different Samsung drives in it without issue. The material feels a little brittle so be gentle. ... show more

    • Bought a second one after the first. 977 MB/s write, tool-free swaps are the reason

I use these to edit video directly off of and for storage. The first one I bought to put some 1TB SSDs I had lying around to work for a project. It worked well enough that when I later bought a 2TB SSD, I bought a second Sabrent specifically to dedicate to it, so I could keep large media on it and cut from it on my MacBook Pro. Real numbers, since "fast" is not useful: with a Samsung 990 Pro PCIe 4.0 NVMe inside, I measured 977.7 MB/s write and 906.0 MB/s read on Blackmagic Disk Speed Test from a MacBook Pro. That is the USB 10Gbps interface saturating rather than the drive, which is exactly what you should expect. Do not buy this hoping to see your NVMe's rated internal speeds. No enclosure on this interface will do that. What matters more for editing: it handles 4K and 8K ProRes 422 HQ and H.265 without issue, and Blackmagic RAW up to 8K. It only stops being viable at 12K DCI 60. I cut video straight off it without copying files locally first. The tool-free design is the real selling point, and it is not a gimmick. Most enclosures make you unscrew the housing, work the drive out, and reassemble everything just to change drives. With this one you press the button, the top pops up, and you swap the drive. No screws, no small parts to lose. If you rotate between multiple SSDs the way I do, that difference adds up fast. No heat issues at all, which was my main concern going in. NVMe drives in small aluminum enclosures have a reputation for cooking themselves, and I have not run into that under sustained editing work. ... show more

    • Fits standard nvme also tool free install.
Color: CHARCOAL
This was the perfect enclosure to park my spare 500gb nvme ssd. the enclosure is slick, the button on one end opens up the enclosure easily and smoothly. Theres two thermal pads to transfer the heat from the nvme into the shell of the enclosure to manage heat. The indicator light is plenty bright and the cable works well. it was easy to install the ssd and it has standoffs for shorter nvme drives as well. when mounting a full size drive you get a smooth tool free instal. No fan so it opperates silently For the price i am happy with my purchase for sure. The cable is nice and short under 10inches long If your looking for an inclosure you could do way worse than this one. ... show more

    • Clever, useful item. Quality built. Reliable
Color: BLACK
I use this a lot and it never fails me. It’s clearly quality made, and has lasted me a long time how. On SOME systems it doesn’t want to respect safe removal completely (select to remove the drive, it does seem to flush all write activity, but doesn’t always trigger the go-ahead to remove). I can live with that. It’s fast (when connected to a high-speed USB connection), such as a Thunderbolt 3 port. Also fully backwards compatible to slower USB type C and type A ports. I have two of these so far and both have been entirely dependable. I’ve used them to quickly back up entire Windows systems as the fastest external speeds the computer will support. The other I have a plethora of software, whatever I might need. ... show more
