I already had owned the black version, my boss purchased the white version for me to use for my job. Also ordered a 1 TB M.2 to put in this unit. Please Note it does not come with any storage, that is a separate purchase. I was really wowed by this unit. The white is quite stunning. Installation is a breeze as it supports all the standard sizes 2280 and below. So I bought one for myself. When you open the unit with the included pin tool (Same as you would get with a cell phone for sim cards) There is one thumb screw with a notch to secure the M.2. Super easy to install. The drive has to be initialized first, so if you're using and existing M.2, I would recommend backing it up first before installing it. It also has built in thermal pads. Transfer speeds were great, of course this is dependant on the M.2 model. I used a 4TB Teamgroup model. I highly recommend this unit. And almost forgot, it has RGB.

Great way to expand storage. Runs AAA games flawlessly.

I got the base model of the Mac Mini M4 and needed more space (buying more space from them costs SOOO much), and needed to get a fast enclosure to pair with my Crucial P3 4TB that is 5000mb/s SSD. I just have to say this has been working perfectly. I create Youtube videos and have been editing with Davinci Resolve right off the SSD and have had zero problems. I also have some LLMs locally and keep the model files on the drive and haven't had any problems there either. On some occasions when I am doing heavy work off the SSD, it does get a bit warm to the touch, but not hot. The enclosure itself is metal, very nicely constructed, has a good heft to it and it was easy enough to install the SSD into the enclosure. I also appreciate that they have a white color option for it, as a lot of my gear is white. My only complaint is that it does light up with rotating pastel colors and I don't think you can turn it off. It's annoying, but I guess it helps light up the way on the bathroom in the middle of the night.

There isn't much to using this enclosure. Remember M.2 is a form factor, much like 2.5 and 3.5 are. SATA and NVME are the underlying technologies that separate SSD's and this enclosure only works with NVME drives. It comes with thermal pads pre installed and all you have to do is install your drive, taking care you mount the screw correctly, otherwise you will have difficulty closing the closure. Also, no SSD drives with heatsinks. Those kind of defeat the whole point of this enclosure. The color effects are cool and temps on this enclosure are minimally warm under load. Very happy with this purchase.

Very nice looking case, I was pleasantly surprised that it came with a rubberized case since it will be bumping around my book bag going back and forth from school and works perfectly with my 2TB Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD. It does have some problems connecting to my phone (Samsung S23+), it sometime fails to recognize it as storage device and tries to charge it instead, but otherwise it connects to my windows 10/11 and Linux PC's without any issues. It is plenty fast for executing apps directly from the drive--but not reliably being detected by my phone is really annoying because I use it to backup photos and large files. I did attach a USB adapter to the cord (UGreen makes a really good one) because not everyone has converted over to USB-C yet..

It’s amazing!! I own 4 of them now.

Good NVME M.2 enclosure, interesting design. Thermal pads and metal case help with heat dissipation. I was able to achieve very fast transfers but that also depends on the used memory.

Sem palavras, achei sensacional. Design, robustez. Fazia tempo que não via nada tão bem feito assim. Acabei comprando outro só para ter uma peça de backup caso parem de fabricar.

The build quality blows my mind. This thing is like a tank, at the same time tiny and cute.

arrived fast, looks cool. So far its good. It does get hot tho.

Best enclosure

Funciona de acuerdo a sus características, lo que me llamo la atención es el diseño pero tengo que decir que es un poco más grande de lo que pensé, ya que hay de otras marcas con mismas características y son más cómodos al manipular.
