This ASUS ROG Strix M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure is well designed and the cast aluminium enclosure is finely made with a high quality standard. The inner space is good and it is very easy to put in the NVMe SSD. The tool less design make it very easy to use. With the tool, the SSD can be easily installed within couple of minutes. The provided cables allow the enclosure be connected to either a USB C or USB A socket of a computer. It is a bit pricy but the quality is really good. I tested it with a SAMSUNG 970 EVO Plus 1TB NVMe SSD on a Windows 11 laptop and it worked very well.

Very good SSD enclosure, have been using this since November 2021 with an Adata XPG SX8200 SSD. The Asus enclosure keeps it nice and cool, usually in the mid- 30's when in use, and around 30-ish degrees when it's idle. The only thing is that the enclosure can get quite warm with extended periods of use. Overall the design seems very good, but the R-hook is made of plastic, so I'm not sure if I'd trust it all that much. The RGB lighting is nice as well. Not too over-bearing.
I got it in the Black Friday specials, so I'd say it was alright value for money since it was on special.

Pros:
- Keeps SSD nice and cool
- Just enough RGB lighting...view more Very good SSD enclosure, have been using this since November 2021 with an Adata XPG SX8200 SSD.

Pros:
- Keeps SSD nice and cool
- Just enough RGB lighting without it being too much

Cons:
- R-hook is plastic

Was a bit skeptical at first about the price at first, but when it was on special I went for it. Turns out to be a good enclosure, handy to have the strap and hook to latch onto one of those loops in your bag - save rummaging around at the bottom of the carry bag. Performs well.

This is a great option for storage, solid build quality, i have used it for about one month now.

Works great, easy install with included tool. All metal with thermal pads helps with cooling Works great, easy install with included tool. All metal with thermal pads helps with cooling

Really good value for money. Really good value for money.

Quality build (after some assembly) and peace of mind in the physical security of the external storage device from damage. Quality build (after some assembly) and peace of mind in the physical security of the external storage device from damage.

Opted for the Asus case rather than the Samsung all in one option, added a EVO970 M2 myself with no probs but I am a techhead. ROG looking, cable included, fast.
