AdwitsUSB 3.1 Gen 2 Type A and C Combo to M.2 2230/2242/2260/2280 High-Performance PCIe NVMe SSD Adapter, with JMS583 Bridge Controller Compatible 960 970 EVO PRO Solid State Drive

- The JMicron chipset in this Adwtis "Rongdeson" USB adaptor for Type M NVMe PCIe connectors fakes drive’s logical sector size to look like it is 4096 bp and not 512 bp thus creating a conflict with the majority of cloning software. But even using those that do overcome the issue, the cloning from original Sandisk of my Asus GL503 VM ,which has only one PCIe slot, to the 970 EVO did not work properly. All of this took me several days to understand and several swapping of SSD, different USB enclosures, external HDD, USB flash drives etc. The Adwits Rongdeson for example seems to be the ONLY external USB enclosure that accepts Type M and the vendor in Amazon explicitly says it works with the 970 EVO (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07F2T9196/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) but does not mentions this physical sector limitation.The majority of cloning software will not accept this conflict of physical sector difference and there is no easy way of physically changing this (forget about reformatting etc, maybe via Linux). Some software like Casper and HDClone8 might do that but the results , at least for me, were not satisfactory. I think that both the vendor here as well as Samsung should make costumers aware of these issues. It has cost me lot of money and a lot of time to figure all this out.On the plus side HEHUI did answer my query very quickly and very professionally so the 3 stars are in part for their efforts in trying to solve this.BestMarcelo

I have purchased a similar item a few months ago which was cheaper but didn’t work, the adapter was recognised but the nvme card inside wasn’t. This time when buying a 1tb capacity card for my laptop I would try a different external case to use the old 500gb card. This case looks and feels a quality product. A bit fiddly picking the right heat pad to use but , at least you have a selection to choose from. Other reviewers mentioned unsuitable for cloning so I did a full backup using macrium software and all went smoothly. I will be buying the same case again soon to utilise the original 256gb nvme card supplied with my Asus rog lap. The Adwits case isn’t cheap but it does the job it’s supposed to.

Works perfectly. Used it with the Samsung 970 EVO NVMe M.2 to clone my system drive for an upgrade of the factory SSD because my laptop doesn't have a spare M.2 port.It comes with spare screws, a screwdriver, protective pouch and silica gel. And 2 cables, USB type C and USB 3.0. It's easy to use even though it doesn't come with any instruction manual. It's quite small and fits well in the pocket.Now I've put the replaced 128GB SSD in it as an external drive.

I used this to clone a boot SSD to the Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB SSD. Once connected, I plugged into USB port and both the enclosure and Samsung SSD were immediately recognised by Windows. I had purchased a cheaper M2 enclosure previously which I had to return because while Windows recognised the enclosure, it would not recognise the Samsung SSD. This Adwits is highly recommended. For instructions on how to clone a bootalbe SSD, see my review of the 970 EVO Plus.

Bought this enclosure for a 1TB 970 EVO Plus. First saw some amazing speeds, still less than direct PCIe, but impressive for a removable device. Today tried copying one big file 15GB to see tiny speeds of up to 45MB/s. Tried on several PCs via different ways (from PC and from another removable device on several PCs). Same story.Disappointed. Can't recommend.P.S.: Gave the same as a present to my friend... Just hoping it didn't break as wellUpdated 8-Jan-2020: It was the C2C wire that gave up. Got new Thunderbolt 3 wire instead and it's blasting at 450MBps

I bought this to help me upsize the SSD in my Yoga 370 (from 240 > 500). The plan was to replace the original Samsung SSD with a Samsung 970 EVO 500Gb. I downloaded the Samsung software but it would not see this device. I used EaseUS Todo (free download) to clone my original drive to the new (500Gb) mounted in this device and it did the job without a hitch, via Thunderbolt / USB C, it was quick and with no errors.

I've tried 2 different M.2 Nvme drives in this device (SANDISK EXTREME PRO® M.2 NVME 3D SSD) and a basic Samsung 256GB M.2 NvME. The controller (JMicron) is recognised in both Windows 10 and on a MacBook Pro; the SSD's, despite having been initialised (recognised by the 2 different laptops with M.2. PCiE board slots) are not recognised by the OS's when slotted into this adapter).... useless.

I had a spare PCIE disk so got this enclosure to use as an external drive. really good buy, its well made and rugged, and has a great transfer rate over USB-C. All cables and bits are included to slot in your own disk and connect via standard USB or USBC/Thunderbolt. Runs hot at full pelt, but generally thats only for short periods, and there is plenty of cooling in the unit.
