Sabrent USB 3.1/3.2 Enclosures for M.2 NVMe SSD's: Tool-Free $29.40, Original Expired

I have the USB 3.1 M.2 NVMe Enclosure (the one in first picture but I bought the black one...so the not the tool less version to be clear) and installed a HP EX920 512GB. The most impressive thing about it is the case itself. It's not some flimsy thin metal case, it's a block of aluminum that's been hogged out to accommodate the NVMe. Come with strips of heat transfer "tape" so that the NVMe has physical contact with the case to dissipate heat. It's a hefty case weight wise, pretty sure you could use it as a minor weapon. So far, the drive has never gotten that hot. Just warm. The thin flimsy case I replaced used to get pretty hot even when I wasn't writing/reading files. There's a reason why these cost more than those thin "hollow" cases.

Speed wise, using Windows 10 with an internal NVMe SSD on my PC, Large singles files (12GB+ in my testing) get 330 MB/s straight through (no dips) using either the built-in Windows 10 copy function or using TeraCopy (3.26 which is a little buggy).

Doing a multi-file copy (mostly JPGs and RAWs from a 40MP camera) that was 43GB total, I got about 290-305 MB/s.

Pretty happy with this case. The only minor issue I had is with the screws/threading. It's pretty fine and it is possible to cross thread so make sure when you're screw together the case, that you're screw isn't angled. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a solid case.

I got the USB 3.2 version the last time this was on sale, and speeds cap out at 9xx Mbps. so if you want to stick a drive faster than 1000mbps, don't bother.

with that being said, it works great for everything under 1gbps

Um, I DO HAVE ONE. Maybe you should read post #10. If you actually did have one and you knew something about machining, you wouldn't be making this ridiculous argument.

Please explain how they extruded the pocket for the NVMe? It's a solid piece of aluminum with the pocket machined out for the internals. I don't think you understanding how machining works. They wouldn't necessarily need to machine much of the outside much because it's a rectangle. The stock they receive is probably net shape and then they just round and bevel the edges. The internal pockets REQUIRES machining. The other option would be for it to be a cast piece but based on looking at it, I would say it's not cast.

Also, a part can be extruded AND machined (I know, surprise). So theoretically, the rectangle exterior shape could be extruded (they would be extruding a SOLID bar with most of the bevel already present) but it would still REQUIRE machining for the internal pocket, the rounded corners and the bezels on the ends. If they extruded it the other way, they would need to still need to machine the internal pocket and all of the bevels. In either case, the internal pocket could NOT be extruded unless it was a separate piece and then they attached the top lid (welded, glued, etc.). Are you actually at all familiar with machining because it doesn't seem like it.

Since you've obviously never had one, here's what the inside look like:

Please explain how the internal pocket was "extruded"...this should be good...
