    Solid case

    Very good quality box, but the speed is too low - 38Mbit/s. But that's more than enough for most applications;

    Excellent quality case!

    The case is of excellent quality and looks great on a desk. It is very sturdy and mounting the drive is extremely easy.
    I can only see two minor flaws:
    - The LED indicating the activity of the disk is placed at the back of the case (next to the USB port). It is therefore not visible when you place the cable drive towards the back (its most logical position for most people, I suppose).
    - The little pads on the case must be glued to the screws that close it. So you have to unstick them to change the disc.
    But these flaws (which won't even be flaws for everyone) are frankly minor compared to the excellent finish of the case.

    Simple and effective

    The case is a bit big, but it allows you to put in a small hard drive.

    good box

    I bought this and paired it with a ssd for data storage and almost write-only use, the case and cable look very solid as well as the case connector, I didn't really care about write speeds. minus one star though for the cable which is a bit short in length

    Empty External Box

    Hello, I inform you that I am happy with this article following the purchase of the Crucial P2 M.2 PCIe NVMe 250Gb, to replace my SSD of 250go! for me just can details on the site but in the end delighted once in hand respects the rate of reading and writing the USB-C connector perfect for those who want to use it on a Windows PC or especially on a Macbook, always good to know thanks to the USB-C you can put an SSD of 1to or more in this box to make a backup disk of your phone (SD card)!

    PS: I thank LDLC for their excellent work and their speed despite the current circumstances!

    Nice box but bad speed

    The box looks good and comes with pads and a 3.1 cable. The main problem is that the data rates are low at around 38MB/s, which I can achieve with a good 10 year old USB 2. The ssd in it could exceed 300MB/s when it was in SATA in the machine.
    I don't recommend it because of its speed.
