This ASUS SSD enclosure is simply outstanding! From the sleek, premium design to the blazing-fast speeds, it outperforms any other enclosure I’ve used—including my UGREEN SSD enclosure, which doesn’t even come close in terms of performance and build quality.The installation was effortless, and the transfer speeds are exactly as advertised—super fast and reliable. Whether for gaming, work, or backups, this enclosure handles everything flawlessly. If you’re looking for a high-quality SSD enclosure, this is the one to get. Highly recommended!

I bought this ASUS ROG STRIX Arion external SSD enclosure primarily so I could clone my Samsung 970 EVO Pro PCIe SSD onto a new drive in case I had a system SSD failure. Who want to have to reinstall everything again and start over on settings, etc. Not me.And I was looking for something that would be glitch free and something Windows would recognize as well as cloning software so I could do a reliable clone. And also something I could use to execute and play games. And this is the product in my opinion.It is not a flimsy product. Very well made with ample aluminum case and thermal pads to VERY EFFECTIVELY dissipate heat, which is a real concern with these SSD enclosures. After hours of use it is just warm to the touch. I was quite impressed and surprised.It comes with a A to C and C to C USB cable and everything you need other than a screwdriver to install you SSD disk. Just be sure to use the SSD install screw properly so the enclosure lid closes - place the SSD in between the grooves on the screw and tighten. I have an ASUS ROG STRIX Hero XI motherboard, and this enclosure uses the same lighting scheme I'm using on my system. And BTW, this enclosure is pretty cool to look at - shiny black surface with the RGB lighting very pleasing to the eye. All I did was install the SSD, plug the enclosure into a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port (it is backward compatible also) and I was off and running. And I mean Running - with the 3.2 connection you get blinding fast speeds. I cloned, which takes longer than simple copying, a 115GB system Windows drive in under 7 minutes.One caveat that I was aware of before buying the enclosure you need to keep in mind if you intend to use this to clone your system disk. Windows WILL NOT recognize the SSD brand (Samsung, etc) as a branded product - i.e. Samsung 980 Pro, etc. It will only recognize the enclosure but will know it is an SSD with 512GB, etc. Just not the brand. Which means Samsung or any OEM cloning software WILL NOT work to clone your system disk. However, products such as Acronis True Image 2021, which I used will and will accurately clone the drive. This is not a limitation with this enclosure - it's a windows USB thing.I highly recommend this product.

Fast, beautiful, sturdy, comes with two USB cables, comes with a protective rubber bumper and a hook, what else can I expect? I just wish every of my laptop accessories have the quality of this. Simply amazing.

Absolute value for the money. Easy to use and operate with the Asus appeal and quality. Extremely durable and built with upmost protection in mind. Transfer speeds have exceeded all my expectations and works well with my Samsung EVO 1TB SSD. My only complaint is my laptop doesn't like to eject it before unplugging it, but havnt had an issue with that using any other computer, nor have I had an issue with corrupted data.

The media could not be loaded. This thing is awesome. I had an extra 1TB m.2 drive after I swapped to a 4TB in my ally X. Decided to get an enclosure for it. I have to say ASUS just makes amazing looking products. This is by far the best looking enclosure on the market. It’s aluminum and sturdy. The details they put into this thing are cool the rgb lights the logo on the ends of the cables the R clip and soft bumper for the enclosure. The box it came in even just says I’m a good product. Easy to install the drive and good protection. Small form factor easy to store away not to heavy but feels good in your hand. Read and write speeds were good for usb connection. Highly recommend.

This thing is amazing. The assembly was easy and it worked immediately. I love it. Only issue I had was when I opened it and found a note inside with a thermal pad stuck to it. I had to peel the pad off to read the instructions that told me not to touch the thermal pads LoL. Hopefully this never leads to any issues but this was the only challenge to the assembly.I think the solid metal construction will help dissipate heat nicely and the RGB is a super premium addition that makes it look great with my ROG laptop.
