    Meets expectations perfectly

    This external box does its job perfectly. The SSD can be mounted without any problem (be careful, the screws are small). The SSD can be mounted without any problem (be careful, the screws are small .....).
    LDLC SATA SSD recognized immediately. The performance is good thanks to the UASP.
    Could be improved: thermal dissipation: the case is ventilated, but no contact between the SSD chips and the case, which cannot act as a heatsink.
    LDLC performance: still 5 stars.

    Impressive performance.

    The case does its job very well with an 8cm long M2 SSD (256GB).
    No problems with Windows recognition.
    In USB 3, I reach the performance limit of my SSDs at 350MB/s read/write.
    The air vents are not superficial as I found the SSD to be hot (nothing extreme).
    The case comes with 2 spare screws for the closure.

    The only downside is that the screw holding the SSD is 1mm too short to be easy to install.

    Essential small box

    Used to cloning sata HDDs, I searched the site for a solution for my new M2 NVME SSD and found this small, aesthetic and functional case that can be transformed into an external flash drive on occasion

    Super practical

    ''Upgrading my Asus Rog G502vy led me to change the original m2 ssd, which was a bit sluggish when writing. I put in a Samsung 850 evo m2 and recycled the old one in this case. It's very practical, pretty and doesn't take up much space! I adopted it immediately

    Necessary!

    If you need to clone your M2 SSD, simply insert the new SSD into the enclosure, connect it to your computer and follow the instructions in the cloning app.
    Afterwards, once the SSD swap is done, the case will receive the old formatted SSD, and will be a useful USB flash drive!
