Did not work with the HDDSAM971600/Samsung-970-Evo-1TB-M2-2280NVMe-SSD-RWMax-3400MBs Did not work with the HDDSAM971600/Samsung-970-Evo-1TB-M2-2280NVMe-SSD-RWMax-3400MBs

Looks like an expensive item for something so small, but there are quite sophisticated data controllers built in to adapt from the M.2 connectors to USB and the casing itself is sturdy metal with a nice quality feel. A couple of small screws allow access to seat the SSD in a slot inside the casing. I used this to connect an M.2 SSD to my laptop to clone and replace the primary drive, then put the old, smaller drive into the casing to use as an external drive.

Nice and easy to use. Easy to install the M.2 drive. Fast and seems well made and robust. Nice and easy to use. Easy to install the M.2 drive. Fast and seems well made and robust.

I had to replace my Dell pc due to a motherboard problem and couldn't install the system M.2 ssd from it in to the new pc (from PB Tech), as they cheaped out by using a sata drive for the boot drive SSD not a pci NVE drive. This adapter let me plug the ssd in to the USB to copy all my personal files on to the new system. It was simple to install the b-keyed M.2 ssd in to the unit's pcb then the case. Works exactly as you expect. So for the money I paid for it was trivial compared to the stress of trying to recover missing files that weren't in my nas archives.

If you're needing to pull files out of an old computer from one of the big brands like dell or hp, this will do the job nicely.

(Also shout out to the PB Tech sales person who double-checked that I was asking for the right keying for the drive adapter.)

Being based on the M.2 platform, this enclosure is much more compact than the pocket HDDs we're used to. It's limited only by the USB3.0 bus, but that's a story for another time.

Used the m.2 enclosure to swap out main drive. Speed was fast too. Used the m.2 enclosure to swap out main drive. Speed was fast too.

easy to install with ssd and works great, and fast! easy to install with ssd and works great, and fast!

The enclosure with the M.2 SSD HARD DRIVE works very well. The issue is to do with the installation. Not user friendly. The enclosure with the M.2 SSD HARD DRIVE works very well. The issue is to do with the installation. Not user friendly.

I needed a means of "cleaning" SSD's and this has proved to be a great way to achieve exactly that for me. Right price, easy to use. I needed a means of "cleaning" SSD's and this has proved to be a great way to achieve exactly that for me. Right price, easy to use.

I was pleased this item helped me recover my files on my HP Elitebook's SSD when the laptop wouldn't start. It works with M.2 B key SDDs and is easy to put together. Thanks very much for having this handy product. I was pleased this item helped me recover my files on my HP Elitebook's SSD when the laptop wouldn't start.
