Sabrent USB 3.2 Type-C Tool-Free Enclosure for M.2 PCIe NVMe and SATA SSDs (EC-SNVE)

This feels like a well made product. The top of the case appears to be aluminum metal but the bottom tray is plastic. The tray is hinged at one end and can be opened like a clamshell at the other end. The star ratings for this product do not relate to the intended purpose of what this adapter does. The three star ratings are for Capacity, For gaming, and Easy to Install. The first two have nothing to do with what this product does so be cautious of looking simply as star ratings. There is no capacity because it's a drive adapter and does not come with a drive. Also, I don't see how this could be used specifically for gaming other than transporting saved game files or install files This product is an M.2 Solid State Drive (SSD) ADAPTER. M.2 is a style of SSD that mounts directly to the motherboard of a computer. When not connected to a motherboard, you can't access the drive without an adapter such as this. The underside of the top lid has a kind of thermal tape which presumably transfers heat to the aluminum lid and is dispersed. While the top of the lid has grooves which "look" somewhat like heat fins, they are too small to really do anything. I mention all of this because this product can get quite warm to the touch. There are three screw options for different sized M.2 drives like the 42mm version. The adapter does come with a single screw for this type of mounting. Whar this product does not come with and which you may need is a USB C (female) to USB (Male) adapter. The product comes with an 8 inch USB C male to male cable. Without the aforementioned adapter, you can't connect it to you PC unless you have a USB C port on your computer. One thing you want to be careful of is not to try to open the adapter while the USB C cable is attached. When the cable is attached, it blocks the hinge from rotating and you could damage the cable or the female connector inside the adapter. I would not use this as a portable drive as it gets too hot for my liking and there are far better options for this. The reason I bought it is that my M.2 drive that was my C drive on my PC became damaged and would not load windows. There were files on that drive that I wanted to retrieve so this adapter basically turned it into a large USB drive and I was able to get then without issue. Hope that helps. This product did what it said and overall I am happy with its performance.

First and foremost, it works as advertised! Just plug an M2 SSD in, close the door, connect to computer, use windows Disk Management tool, configure the SSD, DONE. Afterwards, it shows as an external drive. It's got an external aluminum body which makes it sturdy and works as a heat sink. As such, it gets warm to the touch which is to be expected. It's about 4-5/8" (11.7 cm) long and 1-1/4" (3.2 cm) width and 1/2" (1.2 cm) thick, so it's very small and portable, and so MUCH more convenient than a common USB memory stick. It comes with a small USB-C to USB-C cable. Tested on my HP laptop with USB 3, I get 523 MB/s sequential read speed 192 MB/s write. This of course depends on so many things that it's only useful to show that it works fast. Your conditions can be much better or much worse. Be sure to use a USB 3 port for maximum speed.

Quite sturdy and easy to setup. I've had one of these with an installed M.2 drive in my cluttered backpack for a good year and a half, and it's stood up flawlessly. It's nice not having to worry it'll break with rough usage or storage, I ended up getting another. Looks cool too

Purchased this product 5 months ago, no regrets! This particular model accommodates both m.2 SSD and NVME technology drives, making this external drive enclosure more versatile and added value for the money. If you only have an m.2 ssd right now, you can easily re-use this enclosure later when you pickup a much faster NVME designed drive. The top hinged case lid is made out of thick ribbed aluminium , the ribbed surface fins are for aiding in heat dissipation. Inside the lid is a length of thermal contact padding, that transfers the heat buildup from the nvme / ssd m.2 drive. Prior to owning the Sabrent, I lost one ssd m.2 stick that burnt itself to failure & data loss by overheating using a different brand name ssd m.2 enclosure that used a slide-on casing and lacked any sort of thermal heat transfer. High heat will slowly kill and eventually cook chips and circuit boards. I won't mention the brand or specific unit (wasn't Sabrent), but I was not happy losing a costly m.2 drive with data on it. Hence my search for a better designed enclosure with thermal heat dissipation. The Sabrent enclosure does get warm to the touch during heavy and/or prolonged usage but not hot enough to burn your skin. The ssd/nvme temps measured with Crystal Disk Info shows the internal chip temps getting to 50C at most (in my uses), and cools down very quickly to about 23C - the enclosure is luke warm to the touch once the drive is in idle. I don't have a temperature probe or reading gun to accurately verify the temperatures of the enclosure itself, but as I said, it doesn't get hot enough to burn you, and is cool to the touch when not in use. The simple fact that the enclosure does get warm and cools down quickly means the built in thermal heat transfer padding is doing it's job and keeping the drive inside within safe / normal operating temperatures. A drive that is kept within normal operating temps is a drive that won't prematurely die in failure from constant exposure to excessive heat buildup. I like the tool-free design, starting with the inset push button spring mechanism that securely keeps the enclosure closed. Sabrent provides a pair of rubber mushroom topped style peg stoppers that fit into the slotted eyelets for the several sizes of nvme/m.2 drives, which keeps the drive solidly in place while also hassle-free to release and swap out drives if needed. No needing one of those tiny screwdrivers and painfully tiny m.2 screws. And the fact Sabrent provides 2, 1 for use, one as a spare just in case. The one and only single nitpick I have with this particular enclosure model is the absurdly short 3-4" usb-c-to-c usb 3.2 10gb/s cables provided. I don't know if Sabrent chose this to keep costs down or focused solely on Laptop users. Even with that said, Laptop users probably wouldn't mind having a bit longer cable to work with, especially if desk space is cramped/limited or using the laptop seated literally on their laps, a longer cable would allow for the enclosure to be safely seated in the space between the keyboard and screen hinges instead of loosely dangling down towards the floor. Not everybody's laptop usb-c ports are seated close to the hinges either. For those of use with Desktop PC's , the super short usb-c cable means its plugged into the port and the entire weight of the enclosure is pressing on the usb-c plug and port while the enclosure dangles. I don't like it when there's excess weight or pressures on the usb ports that ultimately leads to the ports getting worn out or damaged. For a few more dollars Sabrent could have at least provided a 8-12" length c-to-c cable and/or equal length a c-to-a cable and still maintain the usb 3.2 10gb/s rated speed transfers. Such cables to exist and are available on Amazon here to buy, by other manufacturers. I ended up finding and purchasing a set each of longer 8-24" usb-c-to-c And usb-c-to-a rated usb 3.2 10gb/s cables from Amazon here, albiet they were a bit of a tricky find. There's tons of longer c-to-c and c-to-a phone/tablet charging cables that are only rated for usb 2.0 transfer speeds, and up to 10ft lengths; but you really have to dig through the specs and product description to find those particular extension cables with the 3.2 10gb/s transfer speed ratings. As I said, it's an annoyance and a nuisance having to search through Amazon for those specific extension cables, it wold have been really nice and good on Sabrent's part to either include longer cables with their enclosure product or at least offer longer cable lengths as parts accessories in their product store lineup. :edit / clarification: Sabrent's store does offer a 8" Thunderbolt 3 USB-C-to-C cable with 40gb/s speed ratings, unclear if it'll work in regular non-thunderbolt usb-c ports... There's likely other people like me who don't have anything Thunderbolt 3 or newer and wouldn't have thought to look for said cables. And there's no USB-C-to-A cables for the usb 3.2 10gb/s speed ratings (or even 3.1 5gb/s speed ratings). Would have been nice if Sabrent offered a wider selection of usb-c cables in their store...

I recently purchased the SABRENT USB 3.2 10Gbps Type C Tool Free Enclosure as a way to keep my additional NVMe as a compact and fast storage device, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The tool-free design made it incredibly easy to set up and the transfer speeds are incredibly fast thanks to the USB 3.2 10Gbps technology. The compact size also makes it incredibly portable, perfect for taking my additional storage with me on the go. I highly recommend this product to anyone in need of a high-quality and reliable external storage solution. Thank you SABRENT for creating such a fantastic product!

Very fast and cool. I have experienced no issues with the enclosure. Easy to install the card and easy to use. I especially liked the design with the flip up lid to access the enclosure. This means that the case is able to have good contact between the drive and the thermal pad to allow heat transfer. Other cases with slide on covers will not be able to get good contact leading to potential overheating. (One of the main reasons I went with this product over others)
