ASUS ROG Strix Arion EVA - Review

When it comes to building your dream PC, every single component matters. From processors to graphics cards to even the small storage devices, each plays a vital role in making sure your computer operates at peak performance. That's where the ASUS ROG Strix Arion EVA Edition M.2 NVMe SSD enclosure comes in – a product that's perfect for those who are looking for a blend of functionality and style.

This SSD enclosure is not your average enclosure. It is specifically designed for the EVANGELION-themed showcase builds and embodies the futuristic aesthetic of the anime series. The sleek aluminum alloy case is stylish and robust, durable enough to protect the enclosed SSD while operating as well as during transit. The Arion EVA Edition stands out from the crowd with its unique design features, including ASUS Aura Sync lighting effects.

But let's move beyond its appearance and onto the nuts and bolts of the Arion EVA enclosure. The enclosure supports M.2 PCIe NVM Express SSDs with a form factor of 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280. This means that whether you are using a long or short M.2 SSD, the Arion EVA has you covered. It also supports PCIe NVMe SSDs, which means you can get the incredible read and write speeds that these devices can deliver. Additionally, with the USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x1 connectivity, data transfers between the SSD and your computer will be lightning fast - up to 10 Gbps to be precise.

The installation process of the Arion EVA is one of its most significant selling points. This enclosure is innovative and screwdriver-free, allowing for easy installation of the M.2 SSDs. The enclosure body comes in two separate parts, and you can take it apart to access the M.2 slot. Simply plug the M.2 SSD into the slot and slide it back into the enclosure's body. The enclosure even comes with thermal pads that can help dissipate heat generated by the M.2 SSD and the enclosure's aluminum alloy case, which is essential for maintaining the performance stability, especially under heavy loads.

The Arion EVA Edition also comes with two different types of USB-C cables, including a dual USB-C to C cable and a USB-C to A cable. This means that you can use the enclosure with any system, no matter what type of USB interface it has - a thoughtful touch that has earned this product a high rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars based on 98 customer reviews.

Another fun feature is the exclusive hanging protective holder that comes with the ROG Strix Arion EVA Edition. This holder can be used to hang the device on a wall, keeping it within easy reach and secure while you're working on your computer build. It's an added touch that only adds to the product's futuristic and unique style.

In conclusion, the ASUS ROG Strix Arion EVA Edition M.2 NVMe SSD enclosure is an excellent choice for anyone who's looking for a unique, stylish, and highly functional solution to enclose their M.2 SSD. Whether you're building a new PC or upgrading an existing one, this enclosure is an excellent choice, thanks to its innovative screwdriver-free design, incredible speed and connectivity, and stunning style. And, for the die-hard anime fans out there, the EVANGELION-themed design is the icing on the cake.
