UGREEN USB-C M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure, 10Gbps

I picked up this UGREEN USB-C M.2 NVMe SSD enclosure to build a portable offline backup drive, pairing it with a 1TB NVMe SSD to store family photos and sensitive documents outside the cloud. For the low price, I was impressed with how solid this little enclosure feels. The housing has some heft to it and clearly helps with heat dissipation, since the drive stays cool even during long file transfers. Installation was genuinely tool-free as advertised. The NVMe stick slides in and locks into place with a simple latch mechanism, no screws or thermal pads to fuss with, and it supports the common 2230/2242/2260/2280 sizes so it should fit most drives people already have on hand. The USB-C to USB-C cable included is a nice touch, and the 10Gbps connection delivers real-world transfer speeds that make moving large folders of photos and scans quick and painless. My workflow is simple: I keep the drive connected only when I need to back something up, then disconnect the USB cable to take it fully offline. This enclosure makes that routine effortless and has held up well with repeated connect and disconnect cycles. For anyone wanting an affordable, reliable way to turn a spare NVMe drive into external storage, this is an easy recommendation.

Perfect for what I wanted. Very solid enclosure, works perfect for my nvme external with my iMac. Very happy with this!! The cable length is really decent. Super easy to use, connected easily, and doesn’t feel like it heats up at all.

This thing is absolutely awesome. I recently had my computer motherboard take a dump and had to replace the entire unit. The bummer is you lose all of your desktop's favorites and other items that you may not have had fully backed up or forgotten the backup before it went South. With this thing, you remove the SSD from the old computer. Put it into this housing. And plug it in and it's essentially a flash drive with your old stuff on it. All your user information, desktop, favorites, and anything else that may not have been backed up properly. Saved my butt because there was a couple of files and apps that I had just downloaded and saved temporarily on my desktop before the computer failed. Secondary benefit to this thing is once you're done getting all of your files off and saving them where you need to, this basically becomes a 500 gig spare drive.

The enclosure was easy to install, I used the USB-C port on my desktop pc and it was plug&play. My Samsung NVMe SSD that I tried with it worked with no issues. Everything is satisfactory considering everything said. However, the thermal pad included as heatsink looks and feels like a cheap eraser so I was hesitant to have that material contact the PCB of my SSD from the get-go but I went with it anyway since heat transfer is important and the reviews were great. Upon removing the pad there were actual crumbs left on the PCB and around the edges of the components which was difficult to clean off. So I threw away the thermal pad immediately. The thing was indeed like a cheap pencil eraser from elementary school. If an aluminum sheet or a metal heatsink is not feasible, it'd be better to not include anything at all.

I only needed this for temporary use, to connect a new drive to my PC and clone the C: drive. It worked perfectly for that. It includes everything you need, including both USB-C and USB-A connectors. I used the USB-C cable and the clone took 25 minutes. The enclosure opens and closes easily, the sticky pad for the heat sink does the job, and the price was great.

This is my first case for this type of disc, and I think it's very good. I'm not a purist—I'm easily satisfied—and I think it works really well for me. I bought this adapter to use with this type of external storage drive; it is my first adapter, and I chose this brand because I see it is gaining popularity. It offers excellent value for money, and I think I will probably buy another one later to use as a tool, although for now, this one simply serves to transfer my old portable storage device to this new format.

Update: I was wrong, it was with the USB Type-A ports on my computer. On my Gigabyte Aero 15 Classic-WA laptop, using the enclosure with a Samsung 990 EVO 2TB, the right 2 USB Type-A ports will not recognize the drive. The rest of the ports that were tested, at least one of the Type-C ports, and the left Type-A port, both worked in helping me recognize the drive. I think this is due to the amount of power that these SSDs require, the standard 990 EVO requires 3.3V and 1.8A according to the Samsung drive's label. I could be wrong, but it may be that some USB Type-A ports supply power at 5V and 0.5A. But, I could be wrong on this. I edited the review to lighten what was originally said. However, I would still be careful with the thermal pads. As I have now done, you should resize and shrink them to fit on the memory chips and your memory controller (these components account for the heat rejection on the drive). This would allow some space for the pads to move around on their own. It took a lot more force than I wanted to apply, to remove the outer metal case for the 1st time with the 990 EVO installed. As you can see in the images, the last in line memory chip on the SSD was caught by part of the thermal pad. Be also mindful, this issue happened also when the thermal pad was in its stock, original size, not as in the cut-up photo as shown. The thermal pad/SSD assembly had some resistance to movement! I hope this warns everyone. Otherwise, the enclosure works good, it transferred the files it needed to.

J'ai acheté ce boîtier UGREEN pour recycler un SSD NVMe et en faire un disque externe ultra-rapide. Voici mon retour d'expérience : Les points forts : - Vitesse USB 3.2 Gen 2 : Les débits sont excellents. On atteint bien les 10 Gbps théoriques avec un SSD compatible. C'est parfait pour transférer de gros fichiers vidéo ou des jeux en quelques secondes. - Montage "Tool-free" : C'est un vrai bonheur. Pas besoin de tournevis, le système de fixation par clip est ingénieux et très solide. - Dissipation thermique : La coque en aluminium n'est pas là que pour le look, elle évacue très bien la chaleur. Même lors de gros transferts, le SSD reste à une température raisonnable grâce au pad thermique inclus. - Qualité de fabrication : C'est du UGREEN, donc c'est sobre, élégant et robuste. Les finitions sont impeccables. Le petit bémol : - Le câble fourni est un peu court (environ 25-30 cm). C'est bien pour un ordinateur portable, mais un peu juste si votre tour PC est posée au sol. Verdict : Un boîtier performant, fiable et très facile à installer. Un incontournable pour ceux qui veulent du stockage externe haute performance.
