The SSK Aluminum M.2 to USB NVMe SATA SSD Enclosure is great. I use mine with my MacBook Air M2 to have more storage. Great product, and it gets warm with use, but that's normal because it's designed to radiate heat from the unit's NVME SSD to keep cool. I am happy with my purchase.

The product works perfectly so far. It had easy to read directions, and it handled the NVMe flash memory easily, and Windows read the drive upon inserting the USB cable into the computer. I have yet to do the backup, but it has operated correctly so far.

Works with Linux all the distros that I tried. It will boot and run on a Windows machine if you install Linux on the stick that you install. I have W11 pro on a mini computer which I changed the boot order to USB first. Anytime I want to run Manjaro, Debian, or CashyOS, I just plug it in and it boots up: runs flawlessly. I find Window to be a left leaning OS and can't stand the politics.

Great little dock, very fast. File transfers are great with reading and writing. I used it for a 1tb Samsung that I replaced with a 4th. Now I'm able to quickly copy things to the 1tb for backup or transfer between machines. Installation was easy, and it dissipates heat through the thermal pad into the aluminum shell.

works

works perfectly, my computer boots directly from the drive case

I changed my review from a 4 star to a 1 star because even after fixing the issues with not letting the computer shut the device down and making sure it has power all the time to making sure the uxb3.0 port stays active and the device still shuts itself down. This is manufacture error.I will address the most common to help resolve issues users that do not have the knowledge as a computer "power user". I should've remembered about why usb drives end up showing error messages during use and after it not being used.1) For those that have the issue of the device shutting down, going to sleep, or error messages during use. The most likely issue for this is the USB Root Hub is set to allow the computer to stop supplying power to the device to save on power usage regardless of whether you have your computer set to performance and have all power restrictions removed. This fix will only work for Windows based computers. I'm sure itll be the same for macs and linux based systems but by different means. None of this will work if you are not administrator1. OPEN DEVICE MANAGER: There are many ways to do this but the easiest it just to right click on the windows logoand select "Device Manager"2. EXPAND THE UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS CONTROLLER: Click on the Plus Icon next to the "Universal Serial BusController" selection.3. RIGHT CLICK ON THE USB ROOT HUB (3.0) & SELECT PROPERTIES: Right click on the USB Root Hub (3.0) & select"Properties", this may be different depending on computer and USB Driver. There many be more than one. If thereare more than one do the same steps following this one for the rest of them.4. SELECT THE POWER MANAGEMENT TAB: Find and select the "Power Management" tab5. UNCHECK THE "ALLOW THE COMPUTER TO TURN OFF THIS DEVICE TO SAVE POWER": Click on the box next the"Allow The Computer To Turn Off This Device To Save Power". This will unselect it and therefore disable it. Do thesame for any other root hubs. Only the root hubs will have this option.For those that are having issues with thermal throttling (m.2 getting overheated), installing the m.2 into the device, etc. this may help you. The device comes with 2 thermal pads to be installed onto the m.2 so that the case can act as a heat sink in order to keep the m.2 from thermal throttling. (Thermal Throttling is what occurs when the device achieves a temperature that surpasses its internal fail-safes and therefore shuts the device down to save it from damage. It has a funky screw down option. I actually didn't screw anything to the m.2. I just secured the stand off before insterting the m.2 and let it sit on top of the screw stand off. with the 2 thermal pads on the m.2 when you insert the case over it, there will be plenty of pressure from the pads against the housing that there is no need for a screw to hold the m.2 down. Make sure you install the thermal pads over the Memory Chips (big black square things) there will be 2 or 3 depending on the size of the m.2 and manufacturer. But a 1tb will mostly likely have 2 Memory Chips. If there is a manufacturer sticker over the memory chips this shouldnt cause any issue but if you feel you could very very carefully remove the sticker but do so at your own risk i am not liable for any damage that may occur during the installation of your device.For those of you that are having issues with your computer recognizing the drive even tho it recognizes the device then this is for you.1. OPEN DISK MANAGEMENT: Right click on your windows logo and select "Disk Management". This will bring up ascreen with all your drives.2. FIND THE DISK THAT NEEDS TO BE INITIALIZED: The disk that needs to be initialized if recognized by windowswill not have a drive letter assigned. Itll have striped lines thru it showing the size and say "Unallocated".3. CREATE NEW SIMPLE VOLUME: Right click on the drive and select "New Simple Volume"4. CLICK NEXT IN THE "NEW SIMPLE VOLUME WIZARD": Click next when the "New Simple Volume Wizard" opens5. CLICK NEXT IN THE "SPECIFY VOLUME SIZE" TAB: This tab shows how much space can be used to create a newvolume (your disk, m.2) You do not have to use the full amount if you plan on partitioning this drive, I am notgoing to go into how to do all that. That is not the scope of this review. Just click next to keep it default.6. CLICK NEXT IN THE "ASSIGN DRIVE LETTER OR PATH" TAB: Leave this one default. Windows will use the firstavailable letter that isn't being used by any other drive or device. This is needed to allow windows, and you, to"know" where all your data is.7. CLICK NEXT IN THE "FORMAT PARTITION" TAB: This is required to allow windows to map your drive for datastorage. Just leave everything as default unless you know what you're doing.8. CLICK "FINISH" IN THE "FINISH" TAB: Click "Finish" and allow a minute or two for windows to format the drive.How long it takes depends on the size of the drive.CONGRATULATIONS YOURE DONE hopefully this resolves all your issues.I am not liable for any damage anybody may or may not cause to their device.
