Orico Transparent M.2 NVME USB-C SSD Enclosure - Black USB3.1 Gen.2

I bought this as part of my laptop SSD upgrade. It enabled me to clone my existing drive, and use the old one as an external SSD. I've used this quite a bit over the last six months. The enclosure looks good, and the SSD is secure inside it with a single screw, but the enclosure just opens with a slide action so could potentially open in a bag or similar. When in use, it does get very hot, and there is a bright flashing blue LED as a use indicator. I bought this as part of my laptop SSD upgrade.

I bought one of these a few months ago and when I needed another external NVME case, this was just way too much of an easy choice. I now have a silver one and the black one. I think I prefer the silver heatsink version. The LED light for drive activity is very bright, but I've tamed it with some well placed Blu tack I bought one of these a few months ago and when I needed another external NVME case, this was just way too much of an easy choice.

Excellent enclosure for a great price. I peered this enclosure with a Samsung 980 1TB NVMe PCIe 3.0 M.2 SSD and am very happy with it. Able to copy 20Gb in approximately 10s, which is ample for my purposes.
Pros:
Easy to install M2 drive
Super fast
Cons:
Case is not the sturdiest and the top can easily slide off. Would be better if it could be fastened with a screw. Excellent enclosure for a great price.

I used this to upgrade a Dell PC from the original M.2 SSD to a much faster Samsung NVMe. The PC has only a single M.2 slot, this external enclosure solved that. The USB 3.1 speed really helps with the cloning process. Tool-less design helps with quick removal... Actually there is ONE screw to clamp the SSD down. This enclosure also has a heatsink integrated, NVMe's can get quite hot. Good value product, but mostly plastic.

This is a standard NVMe socket which most will want and it is really so simple to use. NVMe drives are expensive so being easy to use so as not to damage it is important.

Works like a treat and very fast. Does get very warm while working though. Works like a treat and very fast. Does get very warm while working though.

Easy to put together, works brilliant and stays cool. Easy to put together, works brilliant and stays cool.

Upgraded 256GB SSD internal drive to a 1TB. Only needed it for the one off disc clone. Ideal for the job without costing the earth. Useful to house my old SSD if I chose to do so Upgraded 256GB SSD internal drive to a 1TB. Only needed it for the one off disc clone. Ideal for the job without costing the earth.

Perfect for what I needed. I cloned my raspberry Pi 1tb M.2 to a 2tb M.2 using this case. Quick postage as usual from PB , normaly the next day if an early morning purchase.
Product is simple to use , will get more use out of it in the future. Perfect for what I needed. I cloned my raspberry Pi 1tb M.2 to a 2tb M.2 using this case. Quick postage as usual from PB , normaly the next day if an early morning purchase.

This worked great for me, I used it to move to a new ssd and back up my old one to a nas. This was plenty fast and worked flawlessly with my linux image. It's also very handy to keep around.

I used this to get the data off a dead laptop. I used this to get the data off a dead laptop.
