    • Great little product
Style: Tool-less Size: M.2 NVMe or M.2 SATA
This little device works exactly as described and gives great productivity. I purchased this to help with an NVME migration on a laptop. This laptop is an older model with a USB c port and 1 NVME port. I plugged the new 2TB NVME into this device and the laptop via the gen 1 USB c port using the provided cable. I installed the crucial version of Acronis. The new drive was readily detected and had great performance via this adapter. The entire 256GB Samsung Evo drive, which only had just under 2gb free, copied to the new P5 2TB crucial in less than 15 minutes. I was pleasantly surprised at the performance of this device being plugged into a gen1 USB C port and then also being adapted via this product. I expected at least an hour of copy time and, as I mentioned, only took 15 minutes. All said and done this job only took an hour after opening and then verifying the transfer after drive drive replacement. Customer was very happy with only an hours charge when I quoted a possibility of 4 hours for this. I will be keeping and using this item for as long as I can. Hopefully I'll be able to replace it if needed when the time comes. Thank you Startech for always making well built and high quality products that always get the job done. ... show more

    • Underwhelming Speeds
Style: Basic Size: M.2 NVMe
I am currently using this enclosure with a Samsung NVMe 980 1 TB drive. The rated speeds of NVMe storage is much faster than USB 3.1, so that's obviously not the speed you should expect to see. What did slightly upset me is that even with the USB 3.1 type C connected to my iMac 24" Thunderbolt port (USB-C), I am only getting about 830 MB/s read and write. This is almost half the speed of 10Gbit/s of the advertised speed of the enclosure. UPDATE: I tried another enclosure and achieved much higher read and write speeds. I think something about this USB 3.1 Gen 2 port on this enclosure isn't truly what it claims to be. I doubt my Thunderbolt port or the Samsung NVMe are the bottle necks here. 830 MB/s is still blazing fast! But it's not 10Gbit/s speed. More like 7GBbit/s speeds. I will update this review if I figure out a way to increase the speeds. Also, the enclosure runs very hot when moving large files. This is a common issue with NVMe storage. Affordable passive-cooling enclosures will never keep the drive cool enough for long transfer times. ... show more

    • hard to disassemble the new case but all is good after that...
Style: Rugged Size: M.2 NVMe
Bought this for extra nvme card when I updated my laptop. The StarTech case is very well made. I considered only 4 stars because when it came, the cover was VERY hard to remove with the supplied T-driver...too small. The cover screws were torqued down very tight. After finding the correct driver in my tool kit, I was able to get the 4 screws out and reassemble with my spare nvme card. Windows 10 recognized the unit as a USB drive and I formatted it. As a test, I copied 2 large video files to it, a total of 50G. It took about 4 min to transfer. The case got warm but nvme drives do get warm so all was good. I would buy another if I ever get another spare nvme card. ... show more

    • Worth Every Penny
Style: Basic Size: M.2 NVMe
I received my Star Tech device today and put it together in 20 minutes. When I plugged it into the computer and clicked on the external D: drive, I was asked for the 48 digit Bitlock key. I got so anxious that I could not think. It took me 4 more hours to find that key in my online Microsoft account. Then I had to watch another Youtube video to find my files on the hard drive that I had removed from the old computer (I did that myself also.) When I found them, the Star Tech device only took 2 minutes to transfer my files to the new computer. This gadget is worth every penny. ... show more

    • A great SSD case, but get the right cables!
Style: Basic Size: M.2 SATA
I found this case perfectly fit a Samsung 850 m.2 SSD. It was quick and easy to install the drive in less than five minutes, and the fit was just about perfect. I will say that I would have appreciated more than one adapter cable. The case itself provides a female Mico B USB port. That's generally pretty rare and hard find connect many devices or cables to directly. The cable they provided had a male Micro B connector that plugs into the device and a male USB C connector to plug into your PC. Unfortunately, at this time (early 2017) few devices support USB C, and not a single adapter at my local electronics stores had a female USB C connector (although many have a male USB C connector presumably to support the new MacBooks). I found I ended up needing to order a Micro B to USB A cable just to be able to connect my SSD to most of my devices. I'd recommend purchasing a similar cable with this device, or getting a version that includes it. ... show more

    • Good enough for professional use.
Style: Basic Size: M.2 SATA
Works well enough that my employer is now purchasing them for data recoveries in our Asset Depot. With more laptops using m.2 SATA drives, this thing is becoming less optional and more necessity. - Expected transfer rates. - No heat issues. - The PCB slides into the enclosure along extruded rails and is a good fit. Minimal noise from movement. - For frequent access you can leave one end open and use a rubber band to keep the PCB in place. It's not the most elegant solution, but when you put a new drive in 5+ times a day, it's certainly more convenient... also safer than leaving the PCB sitting outside of the case. ... show more

    • Decent hardware, not so great enclosure
Style: Basic Size: M.2 SATA
As others have mentioned the side plates (that you unscrew) don't really line up well to the chassis. Not only that but once the plates are in place... good luck getting them off. I have the screws out and for the life of me cannot access my ssd now. I'm trying everything except banging it on my desk in hopes to not damage it! Aside from that it worked great. Fast transfer speeds to SSD and all. Wish the case was better engineered/machined. ... show more
