I have one that came in handy when installing a larger capacity NVMe M.2 into my laptop. It only had one internal slot, used this external enclosure to made copy of drive in laptop. When complete, removed from enclosure and swapped with smaller drive in computer. In doing this, had to purchase cloning software but this enclosure made everything so simple.

I've heard good things about the Sabrents. Is the Unitek also notable, or are these all six of one half a dozen of another?

I got this same model a few months ago and returned it. Did not work with my SSD NVME, and it partially fell apart.

I got the urlhasbeenblocked instead and that worked fine for me. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...UTF8&psc=1

Edit. Not sure why the other manufacturer name is blocked. The O R I C O one worked, where this one did not.

I bought the ASUS ROG STRIX Arion 2-weeks ago, I love it, but it is $53.99

The STRIX Arion supports 4 sizes of drives ( 2280/2260/2242/2230 M Key/B+M Key )

I decided to spend the extra money because it looks a lot cooler and also because the "generic" ones all seemed to have a lot of bad reviews.

normal price is $59.99 but it has been onsale at amazon for 2-3 weeks for $53.99

Uses a Realtek RTL9210.
Not that good for NVME-USB.
Try to buy the ones with ASMedia controllers.

the failure rate of nvme enclosures has kept me from buying the cheaper ones, yeah, it shows in the reviews for them, incl. the one in the deal

A big problem for enclosures is that many people can't tell the difference between the different pin layouts of NVME drives and buy the wrong ones.

Get the SSK brand for this price ($19.99) or get the ASUS for $53.99.

I wouldn't really bother with the rest in between.

I couldn't agree more. I actually bought a couple of these Asus'. They are excellent. I do have one SSK from a couple of years ago and its still holding up. I'm using these for extra storage on my series X. M.2 NVMEs are the way to go.

I've been looking at this S A B R E N T one [1] to potentially expand a base model M1 Mac Mini's storage. I saw in a YouTube video that the read/write speeds were nuts, but it's EXPEN$IVE. Does anyone know of a less expensive Thunderbolt 3 enclosure? I don't know about the different controllers etc—I just started researching.
