UGREEN 10Gbps M.2 NVMe & SATA Enclosure, USB 3.2 Gen 2 SSD Enclosure | Tool-Free NVMe External Caddy, Aluminum PCIe NVMe Adapter, NVMe to USB Adapter for M and M&B Key in 2230/2242/2260/2280 SSDs

Helpful warning for the layman looking to buy an M.2 enclosure: There are two types of "key" for M.2 drive slots: "B" and "M". This enclosure has an "M" slot, so it will only work with drives that have an "M" key or a "B+M" key. If you're unsure, the product images provide a visual guide, but generally speaking, the "B" key has a notch on the left with 6 pins, and the "M" key has a notch on the right with 5 pins. If your drive has two notches, that means you have both keys and you're covered by this enclosure. Additionally, not all M.2 drives use the same protocol. Some use SATA (usually older drives), some use NVMe. Most enclosures only support one or the other. This enclosure supports both protocols. If you are unsure why this one is slightly more expensive than other Ugreen enclosures that look the same, this is why. If you are unsure what type of drive you have, definitely go for one that supports both like this one as you'll be sorted either way. Quick list of pros: 2 USB 3.2 cables included, 1 USB-A to USB-C and 1 USB-C to USB-C; Supports both SATA and PCIe NVMe drives; Metal enclosure for heat dissipation (although the inner body is plastic); Optional rubber case included; Plug-and-play; Easy to swap out drives (but not toolless). Personal thoughts: This little enclosure is amazing. It does 10Gbps. The outer case is made of metal, so it feels quite sturdy and dissipates heat quite well. It comes with two good-quality USB 3.2 cables: one USB-C to USB-C and the other USB-A to USB-C. It supports both SATA and NVMe protocols and has mounting points for the four most common sizes of M.2 drives, providing plenty of versatility and working as a good jack-of-all-trades. It's a great way to bring a second life to older drives.

Works as intended and brought old m.2 SATA SSD back to life for use as an external data drive. Good packaging, nice aluminium enclosure with a silicone drop protection sleeve. There are two screws, one to hold the case together, the other to hold the SSD in place so it is reasonably sturdy once assembled (mini screwdriver supplied in the kit). However, the thermal pad supplied to transfer heat from the SSD to the case is too thin, leaving an air gap. I had some spare SSD thermal pads available so squeezed an extra one in to fill the gap; if you don't have this available, you may end up cooking your SSD.

Purchased this to make use of and old NVMe drive that I have laying around and turn it in to a super portable drive. I have a worry that the speed would be slow but ugreen has got the technology spot on as there was little transfer degradation, very impressive. Comes with a USB C to USB C cable and a USB A to USB c both around 10 cm long with is perfect. The rubber case helps to deal with being shoved in a bag and knocked about; I have had it for a while with no issues at all. You can put in different length drives in making it versatile for different applications and the two cables makes it easy to connect to a wide range of different devices. The case itself is metal so hard wearing and also with the supplied heat pad keeps the heat dissipation on track and the drive cool. Over all, good value for money would recommend.

I picked up this UGREEN M.2 NVMe & SATA enclosure to make use of an old SSD I had lying around, and I’m really impressed. First off, it supports both NVMe and SATA drives, which is awesome — no need to double-check what type you have. Setup was a breeze. No tools needed, just slide it open, pop the SSD in, and you're good to go. It even comes with thermal pads and a little silicone cover to help with heat, which is a nice touch. Performance-wise, it's super fast. I'm getting speeds close to 1GB/s on my NVMe drive when transferring big files. Perfect for backups, video editing, or even running portable apps. It works great with my laptop and Steam Deck thanks to the included USB-C and USB-A cables. The aluminum build feels solid and helps keep things cool, though it does get a bit warm after heavy use — nothing crazy though, and no slowdowns. Overall, if you’ve got a spare M.2 drive lying around or just want a fast and reliable external SSD solution, this is a great pick. Highly recommend!

Good caddy for both PCIe and SATA SSD's. I bought this to use when replacing a 128GB SATA SSD in a Hewlett Packard Laptop. Bought along with that rare beast of an M.2. NGFF SATA SSD - an ADATA SU650 512GB. So far I have only inserted the disk temporarily in the caddy, so have not used the thermal pad with it. Good read/write speeds on USB-C. As I used it without the enclosure I cannot comment how hot it will get nor how good the heat dissipation of the thermal pad is. The caddy is not totally tool free, there is a small screw to remove the lid, it ships with a screw driver and a spare screw, which was lucky as I misplaced the original (now found lurking in my carpet). Once the screw is removed it is easy to install the SSD with the provided standoff screw by sliding the lid off. Reassembly is the opposite and equally easy. It is nice to have the rubber sleeve to help prevent knocks. All in all a good design, but if I was intending to swap disks regularly I'd use one of the hinged caddies.

I bought this enclosure for transferring data to a new PC. The enclosure is well finished and very sleek looking. Great to have both cables USB-A and C. I didn't realise the rubber bumper was included too, so that was a nice surprise. 1 star off because it says "tool-less installation", but requires undoing a screw on the side and another screw inside to secure the SSD (the latter is possibly "thumb-screw-able" (they even include a screwdriver!) - I am not sure whether to send the item back, it seems petty for just that one issue, but definitely considering doing so. If UGreen read this, please just amend the product page to remove the tool-less part - you would have got 5 stars then.

Nice quality device. The hold-down screw is a bit awkward to manage but otherwise, great.

Transfers of more than a GB or six make the adapter chips (not the NVME you've put in) too hot and it disconnects from the computer. If plugged in to a low speed port or using a low speed cable this doesn't happen. Once hot, these chips tend to stay hot rather than cool down again when data isn't being transferred - so best to unplug the adaptor and let it cool down before plugging it back in to see what's survived. There is also indirect heating of the NVME placed in the adapter and these can get hot anyway, without any encouragement. The inner caddy has some attempt at allowing airflow around these chips but then the outer sleeve block this off. Ah well... On top of all that it isn't particularly fast - around 300Mb/s. Same results on all three drives I tried to use in it

起動しなくなったノートPCのデータサルベージ用に購入しました とりあえず特に問題なく使えています ある程度定評のあるUGreenですし、コスパはかなり良いと思います SSD本体をネジ止めする形になっているので、頻繁に差し替えるような使い方にはちょっと向かないかとは思います 熱伝導シートが付属していますが、ケース断面が楕円形でSSD本体と密着するような構造ではないので、これが果たして意味があるのかはちょっと疑問ですけどね 特に高負荷の使い方とかをしたわけではないですが、アルミ製のケースはほんのり温かくはなりますので、放熱はそこそこできてそうではありますが ネジ用に小さいドライバーが付属しているのは親切ですね（精密ドライバーサイズなので持っていない人も多そうですから）

Ótimo, todas as ferramentas para instalar acompanham o produto. Tem um pouco de aquecimento mas é normal Atendeu todas expectativas

Carcasa muy bonita y elegante, sin contar que Ugreen es sinónimo de Calidad. Lo recomiendo al 100%.

Worked perfectly as it is. No issues found as of after 4 months of buying

Un acquisto perfetto. Ho un m2.sata con l'obiettivo un giorno di sostituirlo con un VNMe, motivo per il quale ho focalizzato la mia attenzione su questo prodotto. Non è la prima volta che compro marca Ugreen, per me assolutamente di livello con prodotti affidabili. Sono contento dell'acquisto e lo suggerisco. Ho apprezzato la dotazione dei cavetti (USBC-USBA, USBC-USBC) e della custodia in gomma, del cacciavite per montare l'ssd, la vite di ricambio che fissa la custodia esterna, il tappetino termico. Istruzioni complete e dettagliate. [Il benchmark non riguarda la custodia ma l'ssd Sandisk SATA SSD da 128 GB che ho montato. Il benchmark conferma l'ottimo funzionamento e velocità di gestione dell'SSD da parte dell'elettronica del case]
