Rated 5 out of 5 by from Screws don't even fitI bought this a couple days ago, and I tried to connect my WD ssd but they screw wasn't long to hold the ssd down. I can connect the ssd to the port, but that's all I can do. Completely unsatisfied with this product, if you have an m.2 ssd with 2280 standard model then this product will not fit for you.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Better than a flash drive!I wanted one of these to work with a WD green M.2 drive I picked up on special to see if i could 'make' a large capacity USB drive. This worked better than I expected. Not only did I get a large capacity drive in a portable enclosure, the cable means a large USB stick isn't sitting in my USB port daring me to bump it and ruin the port. Transfer speeds are very good with large files and the enclosure is very good at dissipating heat. Overall I am very impressed!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not recognised by Samsung Data Migration SoftwareI bought this to use the spare M.2 SSD from an upgrade. It works as an external drive via the Microsoft UAS mass storage driver. The drive is listed as ASMT 2115 and can be formated. However, the Samsung SSD EVO 850 256GB cannot be recognised by Samsung Data Migration. There does not seem to be a way around this so a little dissapointing :(

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works well, but cheaply constructed.I needed to migrate the data from a dead laptop and picked one of these up yesterday. Mounting the M.2 drive to the board is ridiculous, as the screw/nuts included are too tiny to be handled easily and don't feel solidly connected.The back panel on mine is misaligned (badly drilled holes), as only 1 screw can be used, the other is off-centered.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from WorksI bought this 2 days ago, received it today. Product looks flimsy. The only thing i wasn't impressed was the front enclose cap/lid is missing ! I am not sure if i want to keep it or send it back. Since the SSD slides out without the front plate :( .

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not compatible with Samsung 960 M.2 EVODisappointed. The Samsung Evo 960 M.2 EVO is just slightly too large to fit the connector.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from parts missingNot all parts were in package, i am missing the end plate so i can't really use it since the whole drive just slips out of the "enclosure".

Rated 5 out of 5 by from M2 doesn't fit into the portMy M2 ssd from the dell xps 13 doesn't even fit into the enclosure port. This is absolutely ridiculous. Very disappointed with the build quality of this product
