Nothing but praise, here. I only have tested it using m.2 2280 SATA 1TB version. I'll update this review, if I use something different.--- The Praise ---I will gladly pay higher price for anything StarTech related as they make high quality products!Before I buy anything, from any place on Amazon, I make sure to do my research on the internet first. I found that StarTech, based on real reviews, makes high quality, trustworthy products. So, after buying my first product from them, I kept buying from them for everything I need. They might be higher cost than everyone else on the market, but your also getting the best high quality product too! Save yourself time and money; just buy the best from StarTech.

This little device works exactly as described and gives great productivity. I purchased this to help with an NVME migration on a laptop. This laptop is an older model with a USB c port and 1 NVME port. I plugged the new 2TB NVME into this device and the laptop via the gen 1 USB c port using the provided cable. I installed the crucial version of Acronis. The new drive was readily detected and had great performance via this adapter. The entire 256GB Samsung Evo drive, which only had just under 2gb free, copied to the new P5 2TB crucial in less than 15 minutes. I was pleasantly surprised at the performance of this device being plugged into a gen1 USB C port and then also being adapted via this product. I expected at least an hour of copy time and, as I mentioned, only took 15 minutes. All said and done this job only took an hour after opening and then verifying the transfer after drive drive replacement. Customer was very happy with only an hours charge when I quoted a possibility of 4 hours for this. I will be keeping and using this item for as long as I can. Hopefully I'll be able to replace it if needed when the time comes. Thank you Startech for always making well built and high quality products that always get the job done.

IMPORTANT UPDATESo, I thought the M.2 SSD I put in this enclosure was fine because no errors were detected and I had been using it in the enclosure for about 5 months with no issue. But upon experiencing data loss, I bought another different enclosure which I was already using for an NVME SSD which was working quiet well.Well, that enclosure also experienced issues with the enclosed SSD. I can only conclude, unfortunately, that the SSD is dying. This is the first SSD I've ever had die.Anyway, all things being equal, I've updated my review to 4 stars. The enclosure works well. I've owned many StarTech products and have been overall satisfied with them. I'm glad that this product didn't turn out to be a dud and is another one that I can recommend. It lost a star because it's not tool less. The Sabrent enclosures I bought are smaller and tool less and I like them better. But, this enclosure gets the job done. One particular advantage of this product is that it comes mith two cabres: USB C to USB A and USB C to USB C. I would buy this again if there wasn't anything better (like the Sabrent--which comes only with a USB C to USB C cable).ORIGINAL BUT WRONG REVIEWI've had good luck with a lot of StarTech gear, but not this. I lost a VM disk image that was on the SSD m.2 nata drive I stuck in this. I thought maybe Windows did something wonky, as it's won't to do. I was forced to repartition the disk. And before anyone asks, yes, the enclosed SSD is in fine health. No bad blocks, no read errors, etc. This time, I was trying to copy source code onto the enclosed drive. And it just stopped. And Windows reported a device access error. I'm done with this enclosure and already bought a replacement from Sabrent. I had bought a Sabrent when I originally purchased this device and I've had zero issues with that one. Don't use this. You Will lose data.

I recently purchased a gaming laptop and was excited to get this for a m.2 I currently own so I could transfer my games between my gaming Laptop and Desktop. However when I first got the package I was surprised to find it even came with its own screwdriver for installation. I was thrilled till I tried it. I noticed immediately that the 2 screws to hold the case together were already stripped and incorrectly installed at a 15 degree angle. I tried to unscrew the two screws but they wouldn't even catch. Addition on my first turn I noticed not only the screw started to strip but the screw driver as well. I ordered another product but expect the same result but will update the review once I try with another replacement.

Bought this for extra nvme card when I updated my laptop. The StarTech case is very well made. I considered only 4 stars because when it came, the cover was VERY hard to remove with the supplied T-driver...too small. The cover screws were torqued down very tight. After finding the correct driver in my tool kit, I was able to get the 4 screws out and reassemble with my spare nvme card.Windows 10 recognized the unit as a USB drive and I formatted it. As a test, I copied 2 large video files to it, a total of 50G. It took about 4 min to transfer. The case got warm but nvme drives do get warm so all was good. I would buy another if I ever get another spare nvme card.

I received my Star Tech device today and put it together in 20 minutes. When I plugged it into the computer and clicked on the external D: drive, I was asked for the 48 digit Bitlock key. I got so anxious that I could not think. It took me 4 more hours to find that key in my online Microsoft account. Then I had to watch another Youtube video to find my files on the hard drive that I had removed from the old computer (I did that myself also.) When I found them, the Star Tech device only took 2 minutes to transfer my files to the new computer. This gadget is worth every penny.
