UGREEN SSD Enclosure, Tool-Free USB C External, 10Gbps M.2 NVMe to USB Adapter/Reader Supports M and B&M Keys and Size 2230/2242 /2260/2280 SSDs

The UGREEN SSD enclosure is well built and very easy to use. The tool-free design makes installation quick, and the USB-C connection delivers fast transfer speeds. It works perfectly with M.2 NVMe SSDs and supports multiple sizes. A reliable and convenient enclosure for external storage.

Initial impression: Solid construction, easy to use, comes with a replacement cable and replacement for the rubber clip that holds the ssd in place, and a heatsink. $18 to recover work from a dead laptop? Great deal.

This thing is really good, it has a great price, it is really fast, installing the nvme into it is no pain, you dont need any screws, it comes with a little tab. The quality is really good and strong, and it is really small and compact. Overall, this thing is amazing

The enclosure was easy to install, I used the USB-C port on my desktop pc and it was plug&play. My Samsung NVMe SSD that I tried with it worked with no issues. Everything is satisfactory considering everything said. However, the thermal pad included as heatsink looks and feels like a cheap eraser so I was hesitant to have that material contact the PCB of my SSD from the get-go but I went with it anyway since heat transfer is important and the reviews were great. Upon removing the pad there were actual crumbs left on the PCB and around the edges of the components which was difficult to clean off. So I threw away the thermal pad immediately. The thing was indeed like a cheap pencil eraser from elementary school. If an aluminum sheet or a metal heatsink is not feasible, it'd be better to not include anything at all.

Good product! I stuck my old 256GB SSD in here after upgrading my PC's storage. Now I use this for storing my artwork, so I can work on my desktop or my laptop. It has great read/write speed, the cables are very sturdy, and the case feels great and high quality.

I saw this NVMe M.2 SSD UGREEN enclosure on a YouTube video about cloning your NVMe M.2 SSD. Like many systems, mine only had one NVMe M.2 SSD socket, so I could only clone the new Samsung 990 PRO SSD drive that I bought, if I had a separate enclosure to install it in and plug it into my system through a USB or USB-C port. This UGREEN enclosure may be the best $18 I ever spent! It's a truly "tool-less" enclosure, that is easy to assemble, comes with everything you need and works great. Bottom line, it does exactly what it was designed to do......and, it exceeds expectations.

WOW, totally blown away with this m.2 case ! The included thermal pad is the thickest I've seen and the comes with 2 different usb cables for connection. Product quality is unbelievably good, super easy to install the ssd, and a rubber shock band is also included in case of drops. Low price for this quality is amazing. 5 stars is an understatement !

It works, but I had to come back to this listing to figure it out. 1st: I bought a similar enclosure before this from ssk, and everything worked out of the box. 2nd: in a way, this one worked out of the box, except I would have had to reinstall the nugget pin that held in the drive, and would have had to replace the heatsink after having to open it and handle it. ********3rd VERY IMPORTANT: Though this wasn’t the case for my ssk enclosure, with this enclosure you must format the drive before windows recognizes it as a drive****** I went through a lot of troubleshooting before realizing that it was perfectly fine that when I plugged in the enclosure to my computer, the ssd didn’t show up as a drive. I’m sticking it on a raspberry pi. The raspberry pi image creator had no trouble seeing the drive as a drive I might want to flash raspberry pi os to. I immediately was able to write the image and format the drive. The problem was that I expected windows to call it D: or E:, and it didn’t. I figured there was something wrong. There wasn’t. While there are special instructions about this in the Amazon listing at the end of the description, it cost me a lot of time. Also, the tool less design isn’t solid. It realize on a little nugget that you push through a hole on the frame of the enclosure. It failed the first time I tried it, I think because the thermal pad got snagged on it and it came out of the mounting hole. Because of that I ended up dropping the thermal pad and possibly ruining it. …. I’m going with three stars not 4. On the other hand I do believe it’s working fine now. I have replacement pads coming in the mail. I’d rather have a little screw. Tool less makes it sound easier, but it wasn’t for me. I’d much rather use a mounting screw that I can count on than a nugget pin that I can’t. I hope the enclosure works well from here on out, but the ssk with a mounting screw is much better than this tool free enclosure. Yes, being that I’m replacing the thermal pad, I think a loss of 2 stars is warranted. If you’re comfortable with everything I mentioned, this could be a five star enclosure, but it obviously was a huge pain my first time around.
