Very good dock
The dock works perfectly, but delivery took over 2 weeks. I had to send several emails to the carrier to finally get my order. LDLC didn't have any more news than I did.

The dock works perfectly, but delivery took over 2 weeks. I had to send several emails to the carrier to finally get my order. LDLC didn't have any more news than I did.
Quick and easy to install, I'm happy with my purchase. Sufficient capacity for Windows 11. I'd recommend it.
Obviously, I didn't read it properly, it only supports M.2 Sata SSDs... Apart from that, it's fine and seems very solid.
The product is well finished but it does not work. The hard drive is not recognized (it corresponds to the specifications requested) either on windows or even linux. I have tested the drive via the M2 port of my PC and I have reset and formatted it (it is recognized and works well, it is my old system drive) but nothing happens, the LED lights up and nothing.
In short, I don't recommend it.
This is not my first case from this brand, nor my first case for M.2 discs: what can I say about this one?
On the accessory side, there is nothing to complain about:
- a 10 cm cable
- a small screwdriver
Otherwise the mounting of the disc was a pain:
- I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use a small screwdriver or not, but it's a good idea to use a small screwdriver to fix the SSD to the card. Once done, it moves...
- the disk is difficult to fit in the socket: the pin is too wide
- the socket is positioned upside down and the SSD components are against the card: I don't like it.
How does it work? It is not detected by my Windows 10 machines...
So quickly unpacked, so quickly returned!
