As people who are fond of storing, sharing, and transferring data, we all know the importance of having a good quality SSD enclosure. It helps us to store our valuable data safely and also makes it more convenient to transfer it between devices. Today, we're going to review the Ineo USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A Carbon Fiber Retractable M.2 NGFF SSD SATA Enclosure [C2590-NGFF].

Ineo is a well-known brand in the tech industry for providing high-quality computer peripherals. They are known for their stylish and sleek designs combined with efficient performance, and this SSD enclosure is no exception. The C2590-NGFF is a premium quality SSD enclosure that comes with a sturdy carbon fiber case and efficient heat dissipation capabilities.

Design and Build Quality:

The first thing that stands out in this enclosure is its design. Ineo has used a one-piece carbon fiber case that not only looks stylish but is also sturdy. The carbon fiber material is lightweight but strong, which makes it a perfect choice for an enclosure. It also works as a good heat dissipator that ensures the safe operation of the SSD.

Another worthy feature of its design is a retractable USB Type-A connector that makes the enclosure incredibly convenient to use. With retractable design, users don't have to worry about losing the connector cap or damaging it. The connector is ensured to be protected when not in use, which increases the product lifespan.

Compatibility:

One of the significant advantages of this enclosure is its high compatibility with M.2 NGFF SSDs in B Key/B&M Key specifications with a size of 2280, 2260, 2242, 2230. You can effortlessly use this enclosure with multiple devices, including laptops, desktop PCs, and gaming consoles with USB Type-A ports. Nonetheless, make sure you're using M.2 SSDs that fit the product requirements perfectly.

Performance:

The C2590-NGFF comes with ultra-fast USB 3.1 transfer speed and can transfer data up to 10 Gbps. With this kind of speed, transferring extensive data sets becomes a quick and easy process. That said, the product is only compatible with M.2 "SATA / NGFF" SSD B Key. The enclosure does not support NVMe/PCle SSD installation.

Customer Review:

At the time of writing this review, the Ineo USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A Carbon Fiber Retractable M.2 NGFF SSD SATA Enclosure [C2590-NGFF] has a customer review rating of 3.5 out of 5 stars with 37 reviews.

Some of the users enjoy the compact design and USB Gen 2 Type-A interface, which adds more value to any device without sacrificing performance. Besides that, some users have praised the enclosure's sleekness and compatibility with various operating systems, including Windows, MAC, and Linux.

However, some users have complained about the build quality of the product, stating that the connector housing is made of plastic rather than carbon fiber. According to some users, the plastic causes a weak connection that results in data loss while transferring.

Final Verdict:

Based on our review, we think that the Ineo USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A Carbon Fiber Retractable M.2 NGFF SSD SATA Enclosure [C2590-NGFF] is a quality product. It's got a great build quality and design, with its features intact that makes it a very high-performing SSD enclosure, and we think it's worth investing in for the right use case.

However, if you need an Enclosure for NVMe SSDs or PCRle SSDs, C2590-NGFF might not be the right product for you. But, if you own any SATA / NGFF SSD B Key with a size of 2280, 2260, 2242, 2230, this product will be an ideal choice for you.
