FIDECO M.2 SSD Enclosure, USB 3.1 Gen 2 to NVME PCIe M-Key External Enclosure with UASP for M.2 NVME SSD 2230/2242/2260/2280

Great built quality and a must have.

the chip mine came with is RTL9210B make sure to update firmware to get the fastest possible speeds the one i got had the 1.22 version. newest i found is 1.33.44.011824

I've had this for a couple of months now. Thus far it's doing quite well. It does tend to get warm if you leave it attached to your PC/laptop for over an hour. For that reason, I started using it merely as a secondary back up feature ONLY. I do not use it as a working disk.Cons: Very difficult to open. I had to watch YouTube reviews to make sure I was opening it correctly and there wasn't a hidden switch, knob, or something. I scratched the surface trying to pry it open. But once I got it open all was well.Runs hot after prolonged use. The case gets pretty hot. Which means the SSD is baking in there. Yikes! I highly recommend not leaving it plugged into your USB for extend periods.It seems a bit pricey for what it is, but that could be me.

Used the product for making clone of current smaller SSD in laptop to larger one. Then using older one for either another laptop or as backup drive. Unit performed properly got thru the partitions and re-sizing though Macrium Reflect did not do a perfect job but that is another issue. Clone was not lightning fast but is probably due to the free Macrium metering down to make u buy the Premium version.The 2280 sized bumper is fairly tight fit and made sure to place card in bumper and then push it into hole, not tite fit as a srew but lends itself to make swaps and use different drives if u need. Comes with blue thermal [ad that makes a snug fit transferring heat to the metal case.I would not use any passive case for continued operations of the NVME drives as they all get rather hot but this unit had very gud reviews so knew that it would run in my short term use cases. SO many other units had reliability and over-heating issues so getting a gud unit is paramount.

If your USB port is anything less than usb 3.0 (ie 2.0), it will corrupt your SSD and you will loose all your data. This happens instantly when you plug it into a standard USB type A female port that is not USB 3.0 or above. Unfortunately it is only backward compatible to USB 3.0 yet the type A female USB ports look identical. If you are not sure, test it without any critical data on the SSD. The symptoms will be you will hear the system acknowledge a new USB device, and then instantly it will disappear along with your data. You will need to reformat the SSD on a system that has USB 3.0; 3.1, or 3.2 supported type A or Type C support. BE AWARE. THE DESCRIPTION SAYS IT IS BACKWARD COMPATIBLE TO USB 3.0. SO BUYER BEWARE! Be sure of what you are plugging it into before you plug it in. Your data is gone instantly if you plug into a USB 20 port!

This is my second Fideco NMVE Enclosure, no problem with either one.as other have mention before, this enclosure is a little hard to open, since the removable cover is smooth, I added a small piece of tape in order to get some grip and it works.no issues with overheating, since this is a portable enclosure, I do not keep it connected for hours and hours.

Good product

This enclosure is of high quality with a solid feel. I used it to upgrade to a Samsung 970 EVO SSD and it worked perfectly. I used the Samsung data migration app and was done in less than 20 minutes at 152 MB/s. Swapped out the drive and laptop boots up quicker than before.
